Jedz, what's the story about your Triumph? Are they able to fix the transmission or are they going to give you a new motorcycle? I'd push them for a new machine. 👍

So the Transmission landed Friday and they are installing it this Tuesday. Triumph tech wants to be present when they put it in the case. 20K mile service is also being performed which is a standard fluid change, throttle body sync, valve adjustment, bearings inspection (repack for the head bearings and swing arm bearings). Brake pad replacement, air filter (which I'm not doing for I'm now running pods)... Been gone for about a month now.

The new transmission is being built to be tougher than a stock unit so I'd rather have that than a new bike where I need to do a another motor break in... The engine is a tank and I would much prefer to have MY bike back. Pretty partial to it.

Drove the bike into work yesterday, a little chilly in morning (40's F), but the ride home was great.

Hey, Jason, Good to hear from you. Do tell us more of your adventures.

52 and mostly sunny, but most of afternoon was raking leaves , uh.

Did get out for a short ride.

Looks like the fall colors have somehow bypassed us here.

Short ride... off a short pier? You are very trusting of dock builders!

I've heard that the dry spells we had damp down the color intensity for some reason.

Went for a little ride up the "Goat Path" on Tuesday with a friend riding my 1100g. The Cal Salmon river never disappoints.

You need to get more of that Triumph in the shot Charlie... like all of it!

As you you wish :



Well that's most of it.....

[Wallowgreen]

I did look things over, and walked out there first. And took some care as to which plank to put sidestand on.

Yah, most colors here went from green to yellow to brown in short order.

40 degF this morning.
Was gonna ride out of town a couple miles and then back into town for coffee. So didnt really suit up for the cold.
But ended up going about 8 miles outta town (see pics in "Pano"). Did get a little bit chilled, but not bad. Good ride.

Then Sitting there at the coffee shop,

Picture was about when first got there. Did take jacket off after a short while.
Sat there chatting with folks for about half hour., had some coffee..... then, man!, then I got chilled, was about shivering. That passed after a little bit. Strange how that works.

Afterwards, did take a little ride around.
THis as about as much fall color as is around here anymore.


THis afternoon is leaf raking some more.

Been doing plenty of high speed riding on my GS1100G, but it's showing the stress.
The front fairing mount is lose, and the mechanical tach is trashed.
Small part of my winter projects will be to fix and replace those.
Meanwhile, I'll post this pic of Maple leaves in my backyard for Redman.
