Just drew this up. It looks similar to a ride @2talltim and @Casper and I did a few year ago without stopping at NOC. Looks like a good ride if you got an early start and stopped for breakfast.

Can you enlighten me on what tthe name of this place is?  I tried googling but received no results.   I swear @whaler and I stopped at this place.  I think they were doing white water rafting drills.  Maybe it was a different place though.

I have but dont really get any replies.

Must not have the Euro swag or something. 

I did get a hold of j.d hord and am dropping the bike off with him Saturday.

Yeah, they are a bunch of fickle fuckers at times. Good luck this weekend! Hope you get it sorted out so you can truly enjoy this wonderful motor. 

Have you posted the question/issue over on triumphrat.net? There are some pretty knowledgeable guys over there on the 1050 ST.

Tim, been watching this thread, we've never met, but damn you are a strong person. Proud of you.

 

Looking forward to meeting you someday.

He's overrated and loves to abuse his Mod power. You're not missing much. 

I thought I would share this as I may be of interest to some who have not heard about this event next weekend in Urbana.

"My fiancé and I want to simplify our lives" code for she wants a huge fucking wedding and my shit has to go. 

Glad the bike isn't closer though. That would be very tempting. 

Installed my new seat from Terry's Custom Seats and dropped a new battery in. All she needs now is tires aired up, a bath and the chain cleaned and lubed. Sunday is looking like a good day for a shake down ride.

I was able to buzz it around a few last week. I wouldnt mind the front end to be a little more firm. Any triump guys have any tricks of the euro trade to help me out?

I put Racetech valves and stiffer springs in 3 years ago. It completely transformed the bike. 

Welcome to the Triumph club! I love my '06 ST. I've had it for 10+ years and it never fails to put a smile on my face. 

Cleveland could buy draft pick from #1 to Mr. Irrelevant and still screw it up. The FO and ownership since the Browns returned has been appalling.  It's not even comical it's just sad. I truly miss the days when they could field a competitive team and the Steelers / Browns envoked emotion on both sides. 

All of you Browns fans really need to rise up and take control of that dumpster fire on Lake Erie.  Either that or round up every goat and chicken in Cuyahoga County an have a mass sacrifice to the football gods to give you a component owner and Front Office.

The responses are priceless. 

BTW, I really miss the old Browns / Steelers rivalry. 

Ordered my seat from Terry's Custom. Finally throwing in the towel on the shitty OEM sear after 10 years. 

in, date dependent.

The Aardvark was a great plane and one of my favorites to watch at the Dayton Airshow as a kid. It had a pretty cool trick it could pull off, starts @ 42 sec.

Not as sexy as a Sprint but it will do in a pinch.

An essential item for all Triumph owners. 

I needs to find me some of those bible thumping, give me everything for nuthin' rose colored glasses. 

BTW, Pauly that wasn't rain, that was some higher power pissing on all of us for being morons for this entire election cycle. 

I'd say 3-4 for me. I have tickets to CBJ Friday night. 

Congrats! Sexy bike for sure.

I'll meet anyone anywhere. I never roll alone and never not armed lol. Last bike I sold it was me and 3 other friends strapped up. No issues.

Wow, wasn't expecting you to be beat up that bad. Glad to hear your on the mend Dave!

Decided to wash my jacket today and this is what I find as my back protector. You know there was an office pool to see if this design got approved. 

Holy hell, he was the Jay Leno of peddle power.
