South West Bikers | Motorcycle Forum

Hello and welcome to SWB. Living in Taunton you'll not be very far from the jump off points of many of our rideouts. I'll be nice to meet you on one, keep your eye on the forum for details.

Nah, if I go anywhere it'll be Seaton Bike Night.

Scott, I'll double Brian's offer :)): . However, if you really DONT want to part with it in disgust and you have the time to coax the trumpet to east Devon I'll be happy to investigate the offending bike's innards with you, tea and coffee on tap, I have the time nowadays, mostly. Seriously, drop me ...

Scott - getting back to the upgraded starting cables, this is the recognised upgrade for the Sprint ST (and GT) 1050. They're made and supplied by Jeff 'Pudding' Halford here in the UK. Is the Speed Triple the same layout? As supplied - Sep' 2019.JPG 25052026 (2).jpg 25052026 (1).jpg On another note...

Scotty, just seen your tale of Triumph woes. I've no time to get detailed about things to look for right now but here's three things you need to know: 1. The big Triumph triple engines need a good battery with a high CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) output - mine is 230. 2. Make absolutely certain that your...

I've bunged it on a few Faceberk biking groups as well Herr P.

One old fart with a red Triumph SPRINT ST (try and exercise that memory cell Brian - I know you're at a difficult age but still - - - - - ) volunteering for sweeper duties on this - see you all there.

Giving Seaton a miss this week in anticipation of the rideout I hope you're organising for Sunday🏍.

Use Autoaid Brian - accept no substitute. https://www.autoaidbreakdown.co.uk/ I'll say no more except to remind you that in the recent past, when I worked as a recovery driver for a local independent garage rescuing bikes and cars throughout the southwest, the number of people we rescued that had gi...

Good pic's there young man. Pity that that area's not a bit closer to us.

Seems kosher on the surface of it. They intro'd themselves comprehensively enough - https://www.southwestbikers.com/viewtopic.php?t=102691 but I doubt it'll be much use to me personally as I don't have a Japanese bike - mine's a Triumph Sprint ST.

Couldn't make it tonight in the end, last minute family 'stuff' got in the way - again. Let us know how it went.

Hi Roman, long time no see, it'll be nice to catch up.

If I can make it look out for another old codger on a '06 red Triumph Sprint ST 1050.
