We`re visiting Bletchley Park soon and i`m going to `find` an hour in our schedule to have a peruse, too.

Did you see any 1290 Super Dukes.....?:eagerness:

I think i`ve got a problem developing.
I can`t stop looking at/thinking about 1290 Super Dukes.
The pull is strong.
173BHP of pull, apparently...

Which bike was it that bit you?

What do you do on an unexpected afternoon off on the spring equinox, take advantage of the improving weather and get out on ones motor bicycle!
Had a nice bimble around the New Forest and ended up...

Nah, it`s for carrying my MacBook.

Too green!

I prefer them blacked-out and debadged for the menacing, stealth look....

I`m not really into Triumph but if i had to it`d be one of those 1200`s.
Looks proper.

I did take a few quick snaps today, i think we all know what a GSA looks like by now!

The ZZR from this angle appears menacing, it looks like...

I had a nice 100+ mile bimble around Hampshire, Wiltshire and Berkshire today on the GSA taking in Salisbury, Devizes, Marlborough, Hungerford, Newbury And Winchester.
I don`t work Fridays and make...

It doesn`t, it lifts in the `stoppie` position until half way up then i insert the axle stay and manually lift it up to where the front end is in a high attitude.
It`s quite easy to lift (prob about...

Correct.
My lift is a cross between the Big Blue and Abba Skylift - attaches to the swingarm pivots a la Abba but lifts via a lead screw like the Big Blue rather than the Skylifts hydraulic ram.

...

How high do you want to lift?
I`ve been building my own design lift recently and the limiting factor on height was the roof of my carport!
It`ll raise the bike by 800mm which is perfect to see...

Nah, it`s not for me, i prefer the enormity of the adventure with it`s bus-like bulk, comfort and rediculous looks that can only be the current GSA.
The 13 GSA might make an appearance in the Autumn...

Took a demo ride on an R1300GS, it`s quick, very quick, but as others have quipped is more strasse than gelande nowadays, which is fine..

What...

What is this project exactly?
Is it an engine swap (bigger engine/more poke) or more to it than that?
I don`t know anything about Triumphs..

If this thing with its looong wheelbase, 22" seat height/lack of forward vision (on steep hills), feet-forward riding position and tiller `bars can go up Hardknot and Wrynose then anything can, you...

Some of us like to `lollop` and have the feeling of riding something big and substantial.

I don`t know whether i should admit this or not but in the two years i`ve had my GSA i think i`ve brimmed it once!
At the height of the fuel price madness fifty six quid to fill a motor bicycle tank...

There`s more to a GSA than just the larger tank.

I`ll wait to see what the GSA option looks like, i`ve never been a fan of the `ordinary` model so it`ll be interesting to see what they can do with this new one to make it a bit more...

I hope you saw the recently installed average speed cams on all approaches to Meon/Loomies....

On the subject of disapointing rides, i`m finding more and more often that i`m getting home after a...

Just had a right good result after a phone call with my insurers.

My renewal is imminent and the quote for this year only went up by £64 after adding the ZX14 to the policy.
That tiny increase in...

That`s quite an object to pick up in a tyre but the question is, how on earth did a glow plug get on the road?
Is there a vehicle out there which has shat one out and is running rather badly or do...

My bike is packed up ready for a weekends revelry, debauchery and silliness that can only take place at the annual Rat`n`Survival rally held over the next couple of days in Gloucestershire.
Horrible...

So true on both counts, no more `magic carpet ride`, and the deer are always a danger......

In fact, when my mate visited Australia a few years ago he brought back some Kangaroo scarers - small...
