Hopped on the GSA this morning and road to work.
Played with the throttles when I got home, they were very close when checked warm, seems way off when cold?
Will do more inspections tomorrow

Put on some Woodcraft frame sliders, and went for a ride. Found why my vest wasn't heating, and my Bluetooth connector shat the bed.  |

My Triumph turned 20,000 miles on today's commute, so I treated it to the finest mid-grade available at the new station in town.

Thought about changing the Tbird into a Moto Guzzi Griso. Searched localish bike shops and there is one in South London-red, with 200 miles on the clock.
But can I let the Thunderbird out of my life? Dilemmas...

Go for it. I let my Tbird fly free over 5-years ago. It was a great bike, but I don't regret it. I didn't get a great trade-in value, but it was time to move on. |

Out with the old...in with the new.  Somehow I managed to bugger up the threads on the brake carrier/bolt. The tap and die set came in handy today. Tragedy avoided.  A little moly on the splines and I was good to go.  My old shop buddy keeping an eye on me.   |
