This time I was on my own, almost to the camp site I was heading to in the New Forest. My first big solo trip since the awful events of 2020 (It's a whole year since the cancer op. and still alive and kicking
). It's what I've been aiming for since it all started and the thought of doing the trip again really gave me something to work towards.This last breakdown was the reg/rec. My new breakdown company GEM were very good . Bought me and the bike all the way home and even parked it in the shed for me, where it's now in bits, waiting for the parts to arrive.
Once it's done it's going to be sold. I can't keep a bike that I don't trust any more. I wasn't even surprised when it failed to start this time. It's got to the point where I hop about in delight every time it does start properly and that's just not good enough.
I'll be bike shopping again once the move is out of the way, but there really isn't anything out there that I want. Not that I fit. Even the Tiger low is too heavy for me to get off the side stand. It doesn't have to be a Triumph though. Any thing I can touch the ground on will be considered.
Sucha a shame though. That bike has given me so much pleasure over the years. I shall miss it very much.
