Sounds sweet there @Saul....Nice Work.

And then your alarm clock went off....

I believe Pedro gave me the impression that Pedals were the DQing factor, that's why I've been watching from the sideline. I do appreciate your clarity @Saul....you're a Gentleman & a Scholar.

He's not riding an Indian.

Stop pushing things Nute...lol,

Just been out and got some fuel and fired the Sprint up. Sounds awesome to my ears. Started up reasonably quickly once the fuel got through. Came off choke and I had to adjust the tickover slightly but that was it. Impressed that my low fuel light decided to join the party with fuel in the tank. Everything is working including the fan. No reason not to ride it now. I will start with a few short trips until I am used to it, but I haven’t felt like this about a bike since I had my 1978 R100RS.

The Sprint is read to be used, I won’t say finished as it has done 50,000 miles and is 28 years old, there is always going to be something. Only thing left on the list for me though is a wheel refurb and to paint the valve cover but apart from that I don’t know of anything that needs doing. Both of those will be a next winter jobs. Last few new bits for today. I bottled using the black plate so bought a new standard one. Also a new Triumph vacuum line for the fuel tap, I wasn’t happy with the line on it. Also a new knob for the fuel tap as the original one is blobbed up with Araldite or so sort of epoxy. Before refitting the clutch cover I stripped and checked the clutch plates. All friction plates right at the top of the Triumph spec at 3.8 mm or just above. The plain plates all had no measurable warping. I would hazard a guess that this is not the original clutch. While it was apart I fitted the EBC heavy duty clutch springs. Supposed to be 15% stiffer than standard, couldn’t tell really but the action seems much more positive. Hoping the slip I had was due to the slave cylinder which I have already rebuilt So all back together, just need to get some E5 and take it out for a shake down. Gonna wait for a dry day though and give myself every chance to get used to it before I go on any group rides. I so wanted to give it a major polishing but want to give the engine cases plenty of time to cure before touching them. They will get a satin finish and lose the shine over time, like standard.

What about 1 wheel and a motor?

Sorry the end of the month crept up on you.

Easy Tiger no one said that, your cycle has a motor, qualifies as far as I am concerned. Also all you scooterists don't be offended you have 2 wheels and a motor

By who ? Some Harley dude in the parking lot ? Have you mentioned this to your wife..?

Clearly not you, the bike is upright.

My submission, i was blown away

Balance is restored

Rigged theres no bins anywhere in site

There must be a bin in the pic

Here’s my effort for February………look it’s even got pretty blossom in the background.

Maybe he could give you some pointers with your batwing...lol.

I'd say run it , but it's not my call...it's electric and it has 2 wheels , good point...some idiot won it with a qwad last month...lol.

Yeah, but what can I do about it? My bike has PEDALS so I'm automatically DQ'd.....at least it has the correct number of wheels...ffs I'm just that amputee NuklHed that posts pics of machines & places that we'd like to have or pay a visit to.

Ok ok it's AI...but still kinda nice..
