TOMCC 70th

This year is the 70th anniversary of the Triumph Owners Motorcycle Club.

During the year the club is recording and rewarding members that plan and do a 70 mile ride either with a group, or individually. 

It might not seem much but the 70 is the important bit. The ride has to be for that purpose and not a bit of another run. 

The East Kent group are having an organised run from Laguna Triumph on Sunday June 2nd. Sunday's tend to be "family" weekends for me with a wife and dog. 

 So.

I have planned my own 70 mile route and I think it is fittingly East Kent based.

Proposed Route
I planned it on MyRouteApp and fiddled with it to achieve as near 70 miles as possible.

Hopefully I'll be able to set off after the dentist (!) on Wednesday and incorporate a couple or three windmills and a Tudor castle or two.

Fingers crossed for decent weather.

Crappy Finish

Have to say disappointed with the finish on my 15 Roadster. Not really an all weather rider nowadays.  Wheels are corroded and look like shit and the chrome bits and bobs all surface rusted. Have always washed down after a salty road outing. The TEX I had before had its recall problems but the finish far more robust. Never had these problems so soon even on a modern Suzuki! It doesn't seem like the wheels are coated, just bare metal by th level of corrosion.  The surface rust blights the suspension caps and even the chrome cover for the rear brake master cylinder looks more like rust with some chrome. At least the engine finish looks good.

Don't Ride Angry

Never ride angry. It leads to mistakes. For some unknown reason people in England have this urge to travel. That's not a problem. What is the problem is that no sooner has the final bell of the summer term/semester rung,  like lemmings they are in their cars and motorhomes  (RV) and heading on their summer holiday. Why? Most kids won't be back in their classrooms until September 6th or even 7th!! To coincide with this exodus, small 'e' as the waves don't part for them , after some terrorist activity in France (not to mention our vote to leave the European Union) the French boeufed up their ridiculously slap dash border control. Traffic was queued back on the M20 for about 15 miles. Three lanes and then two.... The A2 into the port two lanes for about 7 miles. Add to that both roads closed due to the inevitable accidents and a rare truck fire, and you have CHAOS. People trapped for upto 14 hours.  It later turned out that ...
