Mine just plopped onto the mat.

Thank you very much for sorting it out for me, see you there.

If there's one left, can I take it please?

I don't know how old your Triking is, but if it's older than 25yrs, it may be worth checking the cost of Peter James' specialist insurance for Vintage Motor Cycle Club members. Mine (T1, 42 yrs old) was a minimal-cost, admin charge only, addition to my existing motorcycle policy, but both of my sons...

I'll be there in the T1.

I never miss a Founder's Day!

Some idea of numbers will be useful. Please post here if you would like a 2026 Triking Calendar.

I've not used them since having to shell out for spark erosion to remove the inevitably-broken one from an irreplaceable bit of Laverda. The only ones I've used which have been any good have been parallel-sided...

I could have really done with that gazebo on the way home. The storm hit while we were crossing Pitsford causeway, not much shelter on there, I reckon we'd have been drier driving through the reservoir.

I always use new bolts to the correct grade (10.9??), fitted unlubricated. There's a degree of stretch built into the design, the old ones will be pre-stretched, altering their ability to re-stretch and changing their fatigue resistance. I learned about this after re-using some flywheel bolts on a C...
