Thoughts on Things
all postsGetting out of here
I'm leaving in the next couple of minutes and packing up for a weekend in BC with Dan and the rest of his groomsmen. The plan is to find a place to camp. That's it so far. We'll plan it as we go.
I am in dire need of a break, so this is trip is at just the right time. On Monday I will be submitting the final NEMSIS files for certification that I have been working on for the past couple of months.
I will see you all later.
Diagnosis
Dan came over to help with my Triumph diagnosis this weekend and I think we figured it out that it might be the regulator. Some more testing may be done, or I'll just order a replacement. They're only about $50 USD so that's not as crazy expensive as I thought it might be
I decided that I'll put the bike back together and ride it until I get it fixed. I can't just let it sit there. As long as I charge the battery in between short rides it should be ok.
Disappointed
I am a bit disappointed in the Triumph. It turns out that it isn't charging and it's fouling plugs very quickly. Tonight I hope to finally have time to take a look at the charging issue. I didn't want to have to do any work on the bike - just ride. At least not have to do anything in order for it to be road worthy. I guess that is always a risk when buying used, especially 36 years used.
Wish me luck.
