That's better - you should call it the 'BOS(S)'. Its full moniker is horrible and inappropriate (but possibly appropriate for most of my bikes)

Well even I made it out today for a change
Went to give the H2B/C is shakedown run before the Isle of Man TT.
Not be used for 9 months and went like a dream
Seen 100MPH+ on three occasions!
Was only going to see acustomer locally and ended upout in the country.
Did 52 miles

Only managed to get out for 1/2hr tonight, feel better for my triple fix after last two days of rain down this way

Me and my mate did 160 miles today, Brecon, Builth, llandovery and home but him on VFR and me on the Bonneville.

Three triples - 1 Zed - 1 Yam YR5 went for a ride out tonight. Fantastic weather, long may it continue.]
Sorry no pictures taken, but will do some tomorrow. Promise.

I used up three tanks of petrol just riding around today. I'm only managing to get 50 miles from brimful to reserve.

Ended up going past Box Hills so stopped for a bacon butty.

Spent quite a lot of time at the side of the road changing plugs over. Seemed like a plug problem and eventually found a small bike shop that had the NGKs in stock. Problem seems to have gone away now.

You should be getting about 40mpg unless you ride like a total nutter.
I should be at Boxhill sunday noonish if anyone is about.

BIG H.

If you are going to be there I might ride over for noon too. I really need to let someone who knows triples to have a look over and give me some advice/reassurance. The last few weeks have just been a haze of shakedown tests and problems to resolve. My experience is from over thirty years ago and so at the moment it's a complete mixture of grins and fun with concerns and worries about things that might need sorting and how best go about it.

What bike you got so I can find you?

NO its not broken down
Nice little shake down to Devils Bridge, running spot on so far, bit of clutch slip but could be I need to give it a few miles.
Spent a lot of time on the carbs which seems to have paid off

Devils Bridge Lancashire ? That's a good ride from Wales ????

Noticed you have a Preston reg. no. though

I should be there on my H2C .

There was about half a dozen triples in Maidstone tonight.

Your right that would be a good shakedown but no Devils Bridge, Ceredigion in Wales

Went back to Box Hill and met up with BigH and then another purple C turns up out of the blue.

Thanks for all the tips and help, very appreciated. Nice to meet you both:)

The Dencos sounded......V.Good

Took this for a spin today as the weather was beautiful here.

Clive. I think I talked to you when I was searching for a triple a few weeks ago. Sorry I never made it down to you but I went up to see the H2C pictured above, In the background), and thought it was the right one for me.

The sun was even shining in Orkney today. My daughter Rachel posing on the H2C.

seems you have to right click and open in new window to veiw

BigH,

Only had time to check my needle setting this evening. You were right, the circlip was on the bottom setting on all three carbs so I moved them up to the fourth one down. One step closer to better running, (and fuel consumption), I think

I'll check the main jet size tomorrow.

Thanks for help.
