Bike pics please! 😁 Pictures look awesome by the way. Beautiful!

You've made me realise that I haven't taken many photos of it and it's back at the dealers at the moment with a minor oil leak haha. Will post some more when I get it back.

I got a Triumph Tiger last month and went away last weekend to Exmoor and Cheddar Gorge with the wife. My last bike was a ZX-6R so it will be nice to go on longer trips in comfort.

Nice - Countisbury/Lynmouth by the looks of it.

Got the Tiger back from the dealership today. Had a nice ride back but got full diarrhea-ed on by a bird on an A road, couldn't believe my luck, smallest target around and I thought someone had thrown a vanilla milkshake over me!

I got twatted by one on the way to a bike day at Brackley. 
 

I saw it heading to the helmet, I tried jinxing left and right - the homing fvcker smashed into my forehead coating my entire right side. 
 

Everybody laughed. I hate my friends as much as I now hate pigeons.

Worse thing that happened to me was I had a wasp land on the inside of my leg next to my crotch and was stung on my way to work at 6 am last summer. The pain was excruciating and I couldn't stop, I was shuffling around and panicking thinking it was on the inside of my trousers and about to sting my bits. The only way I could describe the pain is that it felt like a hot iron. As soon as I got work I jumped off my bike and took my trousers off looking for a dead wasp. After a few hours had gone the pain eased but It was very itchy.

Oh actually I hit a bird once and it wrote the front of my bike off. It flew out of a high grass verge on a country lane literally at the last minute, hit my light and front fairing, rolled up the screen and hit my helmet. Scared the shit out of me. Don't know how I managed to stay on it. Completely smashed the front of the bike up.

Sounds like that pigeon had just had enough of life, that or he just really disliked you

First visit to Idle Torque of the year...

 

 

A Gamma! Had one of these on loan at the time - pretended to be Schwantz, although I daren't take my hand off the clutch lever for fear that the damn thing would heat seize. Always thought they were much closer to a road GP bike than the RD500...

 

 

 

 

 

Loved my old Beckett tuned LC, the powerband was insane. This beauty is in fine fettle...
