This week, I have been mostly riding Triumphs.

Just as well it handles so well in the wet, given it seems to be monsoon season.

    Looks great, be careful in the wet..it looks wet.

    Gosh, I miss my Triumph Spitfire.
    I stole it off a space ship.

    In Bedford there is so cold ? You would boil here wearing such suit.

    Nice bike, and helmet.

    Well, there is a picture of it. 1974 Mk IV..got rid of it in 2006...sad. It was a baked bean tin on wheels and probably more dangerous than a bike.

    As for being around the world..well, I'm just killing time so I can get back to USA on a more perment basis.

    I'd have thought a small speedboat would have been more use in Bedford lately. I've not seen rain like that since I lived in Wales.

    Glad you're enjoying your bikes all the same.

    Was that you that just went past me on London Road? At the corner of Elstow Road, at the lights near Focus and Dun Elm. Didn't notice the model. If it was you, you were looking very dashing in those shades. If it wasn't you, I'm sure you look very dashing in shades too.

    Nice evening for it.

    No, I did just get in, from a 600mile weekend ride, but came in on the A422/A428 into Bromham.

    Picrtures, to follow, and possibly video of me nearly getting knocked off the bike by an irate bull in the new forest. But the guy who filmed it crashed this evening, he's okay, minor damage to the bike, but his camera took a knock.

    Look forward to seeing those. How did the bull take it?

    The Triumph this guy was on was similar to yours, but I looking at your photos now I can see it was a different colour.
  • edited August 2009
    The bull reared up, snorted, and sprayed my mate in front with spit. LOL :)

    I'm not on a Triumph now, I am now riding my Yamaha Fazer again.

    Lovely car Kaija did it cost a lot to run ?

    I was driving yesterday and what was following me, a white Spitfire being driven by a sexy woman, i couldn't keep my eyes off the rear view mirror, which meant i almost drove into the car in front of me at some traffic lights oops.

    Heh, what a combo. I reckons sexy women and fast cars cause a lot of blokes to crash.

    Err..the mechanicals were very good, but being a british car from the 70s..it needed a LOT of welding over the years.

    Sorry..over to THX, didn't mean to crash in on his scene.

    actually I think I meant to type Triumph Dolomite, not Triumph Toledo.
