Left mine in the garage, where it usually lives.
Chococat Hurt,sad,angry,again, United Kingdom Premier Member Posts: 32,671 Street Triple R 06 Mar 2011 18:25
Mine live there too, although one is mostly in a selection of boxes.

I rode mine all the way down to Romsey from Oxford, taking the A338 and A3057, stopping for food at "The Mayfly". I had to be on my best behaviour and not exceed 5,000 rpm, but even so it was a great ride! On my way back stopped at the H café for a cup of hot tea.

Reconnected the battery (dropped a screw between the relays & coolant expansion tank, had to strip rear bodywork to get flamin' thing, put it all back together before heading out for a spin). Went for a spin down the A82, had a brew & some cake at Nevisport cafe in Fort William, headed home via the A86 & A9. Nice run.

Media File Well, I saw her Aprilia but didn't know what she looked like, so can't really say I saw her. Now that I know what she looks like I will say hi next time I see her
Today I went shopaholic! I rode me bike to the nearest LIDL and bought: 2 pairs of thermal base layer (socks) 2 pairs of thermal base layer (top) 2 pairs of thermal base layer (trousers) 1 waterproof suit 4 chocolate brs 1 pack of biscuits All for as little as £ 69! And I can confirm the new headlights work formidably well in the dark!

hung a sheet between Media File AND Media File so it wouldn't have to look at it.... . the Daytona has started acting weird , somewhat "HELL HATH NO FURY "etc , maybe it need to be sprayed...GREEN
Spotty41 Concrete Cow Land, United Kingdom Posts: 342 Street Triple 08 Mar 2011 11:26
Rode it to work. Actually I think that there is something wrong with my Triumph, as everything works, nothing ever falls off, and it always starts, so I just keep riding it... saying the above, its booked in for the MOT tomorrow, so I'll find I'm riding a deathtrap..

Taxed mine online last night after I found out the renewal ended 7 days ago. Oooops. Real easy and painless.

Thought about putting the new tax disc on the Tiger. Couldn't be bothered to move the bike though.

~EARL~: i bought mine a new billet rear resevoir
Lightweight, I bought mine two. Ah, I just read it again and you said rear. I didn't buy two rears, that would be silly. I bought one front, one rear.
Phill Pig Hill, United Kingdom Posts: 20,119 Daytona T595 12 Mar 2011 17:25
Washed it.

Peppe Oxfordshire, United Kingdom Posts: 244 Speed Triple 1050 12 Mar 2011 18:52
Rode mine from Oxford to Silverstone, then to the Super Sausage cafè in Potterspury for lunch. Got lost on the way back so by the time I got to the H cafè TQ was gone but met "Paul the Bastard" there (top bloke ). Done a total of 420 miles fo far.
