What are the pics in the gallery from?
Monday 21st Apr 2025Hey, sorry some pics are sideways Uploaded from my phone). Various pics of things I have been working on with my bike. I had the valve cover off to adjust the valves this early spring since I had some oil sepage and needing valves adjusted at 12k. Also changed the oil and filter! Shout out to Stan at Roy's Motorcycle's for helping me out and got the carbs jetted! We also put in new RaceTec front fork springs to reduce sponginess! The rear springs I notched up another slot but looking at some Hagon rear springs sometime in the future?
I also put in a new air filter and had to modify the rubber relay switch holders with some zip ties! I am trying to find some new rubber relay holders on line? I had replaced the tires last year with some new Michelin Road Classics and they are fantastic. The Bonnie is now 20 years old this year! Hopefully seeing the Triumph Factory in Hinkley, UK this Summer since that is where my bike was manufactured! Also big thanks to my wife Deborah for tolerating my bike obsessions / me (that is a pic of us from high school and we are celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary over there...for fucks sake!)
I'm Riding for Men's Health in The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride
Sunday 6th Apr 2025 On Sunday the 18th of May 2025, I'm riding in The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride with fellow men and women across the globe to raise funds and awareness for prostate cancer and men's mental health on behalf of Movember. Men die on average 6 years earlier than women and for largely preventable reasons. The number of men that are suffering is growing, and we need to do something about that. So, before I press my tweed and polish my boots, I'm asking you to join me in raising funds and awareness for these causes by donating what you can for this meaningful cause and to help the men we love, live happier and healthier lives.My Sponsors
