So after the disasters with that triumph I binned it and saved a few more quid and bought myself another tenere, I now have a bike that starts and properly working electrics in general. hoping to be out bagging points again soon

I’ve no idea, fired straight up when rac man gave it a jump he suspects duff battery as the bike is putting out plenty of volts when running Got it home (60 min ride) and it refused to start again Left it a few hours and it fired up lost confidence in it now as I can’t trust it to restart …

Planned a day of points gathering but only managed Carlton war memorial & deersbrook farm as bike broke down after taking pics at last stop

Thanks chaps

Seen an exhaust on eBay for my bike but not sure of the maker. anyone recognise the sticker??

Generic ram mount would do, maybe cheaper on eBay

Fitted heated grips today and when removing old grips , I discovered the previous owner had fitted not one, but two pairs of grip puppies amazingly I can now operate the clutch a lot better! Hoping tomorrows weather is kinder so I’m able to put bike back together and maybe actually get out on it

No, but I have eyes

Now in landfill

Well, yesterday my phone mount arrived so I thought I’d quickly fit it but it’s turned into a more serious operation! I took a few panels off looking for places to run wires for charging lead etc and before I knew it the front end was missing while it was apart I decided to remove the hid lights and retro fit halogen bulbs ( will upgrade soon) its currently still in bits as I’m gonna fit heated grips today a lonely bloke and a tool box is a dangerous mix

Bought myself an ultimate addons phone mount and case this week also. I had one years back for my iPhone 5 and was brilliant in all weathers so it was my natural choice to fit on the triumph. the later ones seem to have more clasps to keep the water out and feel more rugged over all My only negative comment is they no longer come with the battery lead with the switch, just a usb lead now Still good value in comparison with other brands though

So in order to get back up and running again I needed a new Bluetooth headset as I got rid of my old faithful t-com set from years back i don’t have loads of money to spend so looked around for a couple of evenings to see what I liked the look of. The midland caught my eye as I’m familiar with the brand from my CB days and it wasn’t extortionate I only fitted in helmet last night so I’ve yet to road test it as such but the sound quality and volume surpasses what I had with the old unit so I’m pleased with it so far. I’ll update when I’ve been out and about using it for real

I’m on vitamin B and cod liver oil

Managed a few hours out yesterday with my mate i didn’t suffer so bad so I’m hoping, luring the cable, adjusting the lever and different gloves may have helped. I’m also doing some stretching exersices to see if that helps. so far so good

Bars are stock for the bike, it does have adjustable levers tho. I’m not quite sure of the pros/cons of them I always adjust the levers so my wrists aren’t bending to grab the levers , shoe one on here taught me that many’s years ago! I’ll be popping out on it later to see if the different gloves are any help

Ordered, do you get points for challenge 100 for mentioning @Hoggs

No, but the ones I wore aren’t the best as the liners are loose . now have a new pair to test out

So after a few hours riding the triumph , I’m noticing severe pain in my left hand to the point I’m struggling to pull the clutch and in turn losing a lot of confidence in riding. I’ve never experienced this before on any other bike and I’m wondering if it’s the clutch or me im pretty gutted as I was so looking forward to being back out on 2 wheels any thoughts please

Pic taken at shotley marina, great views of Felixstowe and harwich

I have givi set, prob only use top box mainly though so will remove the scaffolding short term to give it a spruce up

I took mine out for the first time today, not too bad to ride but I found the clutch really quite heavy to the point my hand started to hurt when in traffic hoping it’s an easy and cheap fix as I’m skint!

Thanks for this

Anyone know of any ride outs in east Anglia ?

Thought I best say hello again as I keep appearing then vanishing. I used to be quite active when I was down in Kent , doing quite well in the challenge 100 in 2015 /16 being known as Paul~Kent after a break up and a few other things going on, my mental health has really suffered and I’m trying to find a pastime that keeps me motivated. I’m hoping that I can get back into c100 and maybe a few meets etc. My bike only arrived yesterday and I’m still needing to get bits and bobs to be able to navigate etc as all my old gear went. Here’s to brighter times Cheers Paul

May I have 11 please
