Never knew this place was there, and we got the full tour by the owner and chief designer. Had one that had just been completed and was ready to go to its new owner in London.

Not too shabby... however, not one of them has *proper* swept back headers like we had on Tritons back in the day. They'd probably be willing to make some if you mentioned it on your build spec list. I've yet to to that style on any of the modern Trumpets.

Like this:

Can hardly believe that it's the 1st December & I've just been to the supermarket on a bike. Don't remember that last time I've ridden on the road this late in the year!

I was going take the Street Triple off the road for Winter,but as the gritters haven't yet been out around here I'll keep riding it for another few weeks .
I went to fill it up as the fuel was getting low & once again ended up filling the tank with E10,not seen any E5 for a few weeks

I need to fill mine with E5, thanks for the reminder.

When I bought the boy's HD off him I gave him my CBF125 as a trade in, the MOT situation is a joke in NI so the only MOT I could get was in Belfast. I live in Ballymena so it was a 65 mile round trip today with me holding the poor wee thing flat out the whole way.

Some difference from an 1150GS, I'll say that much.

Saying that, we had the granddaughter staying with us last night and she wasn't well. I had the GS out to get her Calpol from Tesco at 6am.

Almost! First two are Elvis Juice hiding behind the strap and then Planet Pale.

Had a rare treat today. Only ride in the wet about once a year here. The terrain and grip changes dramatically.

The rain's ok coz it's warm. But can't see bugger all

You call that rain?

THIS is RAIN!

Yeah it's rubbish now,my idea of fun on a bike relies on having grip and that's gone now. The roads are freshly salted too,so I'm out.

Yeah the council have dropped tons of salt last couple of days so my baby ain't going nowhere for a while.

Had a nice 200 mile jaunt. Damp start but soon dried up. Some of the hairpins up in the mountains had damp patches and I was thankful for the ABS a couple of times.

Was perfect riding weather. Sun's beaming now and temp is rising. I got the best bit of the day.

Will be home in time to give it the annual wash It needs it

Can't stop on the best bits for pics but the best road is from Pajara through Betancuria and beyond.
Proper boy racer stuff. I was a but slower than last time but still giggling


Pics above were half way up this route.

Fairings off and cleaned underneath?

Wheels out and the underside of the mudguard and hugger cleaned?

Underneath the headstock cleaned?

Asking for a friend...
