What I Did With My Bike Today

[atomsplitter]

If memory serves, aren't those old Tiger's basically a single carb Bonneville??

Yes, the model is TR6. The TR6 was called the Trophy through 1968; the name was changed to Tiger when Triumph discontinuing the 500ccTiger.

I got everything done in a couple days and, now that the sun is just about to set and it’s “only” 95°, I guess it’s time to hit the road!
-Sparky

i lived many years in hot places and worked out strategies for working in the heat. but then i moved to appalachia, which simply doesnt get hot. ive never seen it over 93 F here in twenty years, and this year its been over 90 F maybe three or four times.

easy.

but the winters can be brutal. less so these days, but ive seen it stay at -15 F for several weeks at a time, and i dont like that at all.

trade offs most everywhere weather wise except perhaps San Diego area. Even so, CA has been destroyed.
We have two very hot months here in Nevada , can’t complain having a 10 month riding season.

If you're married you may want to consider starting a "Go FundMe" for your divorce when you spill oil all over that floor.......

Wait until she's gone so she can't get half the fund. Your need will be greater then also from what else went with her.

True enough. Been there!

I borrowed the neighbor's lift and decatted my '16 T120. I installed a Meercat x-pipe and pulled off the snorkel.
Better sound for sure, and, I think that low speed "snatching" is mostly gone. I didn't expect that.

Fitted a pair of auxiliary lights to the Striple. Also fitted a power outlet on the handlebars which is waterproof and provides two outlets, one USB A and one USB C.

Useful mods.

Useful mods.

I tried to upload photos but shots taken with my iPhone are evidently too large. Does anyone know what the maximum photo file size is?

For photos try this look at the counter on the right hand side circa 2760.

What I've done in the past is to send the photos to my email account and choose "medium" for sizing (usually jpg in KBs) then download to desktop file location and copy paste from there.

Here are the photos to go with my post above.

Many thanks to @atomsplitter for the useful tip on photo compression.

Bloodknot, that looks very tidy and unobtrusive. Nice install.

I agree, very nice work

Bought parts. Gotta get the Trophy repaired. Waiting on cooler weather to get out in the garage and get it fixed (end of August looks promising).

We left home at 0730 for a 99 mile round trip ride to Utah for coffee. Zero traffic, beautiful morning.

A nice round trip in great conditions. Not too far and not too short. Good for you
