The Triumph reborn!

It has been some time since I added to this Blog. A combination of work, early retirement and bike problems saw me laying her up for far too long. Well last winter 2014 I put the Triumph on the bike lift and got to work on it.

The reason was that I did last year's Saundersfoot run so needed to get the bike in a good state. Unfortunately I must have been running a bit weak because she nipped up on a long hill and since last year has been smoking and using oil. It performed well but I decided to strip it down again.

I have now fitted new Heppolites and had the barrels honed. I spent a lot of time rebuilding the top end with a view to getting it oil tight and right - I am very pleased with outcome because it is running and performing better than it ever has. It is such a pleasure to ride that in the space of two weeks I covered over 1000 trouble free miles.
