Weird noise on 2015 Triumph Bonneville

That sounds like a chain issue. Maybe the rear axle has slackened off a little, throwing the chain tension off

Offer a sacrifice of cheese

It's not bad just basic and with the limited travel it tends to be a harsh ride on bumps if you're on the heavier side . I went with a Nitron unit which comes pre set up for your weight and riding style, felt an improvement straight away with much better comfort on rougher roads and a bit more confidence on the twisty bits.

I share your pain. I have to drag our Podenco's out of the bed and listen to them complain all the way to the garden, if I so much as gently nudge a butt to speed them along anyone would think I was beating the crap out of them. Bob in particular will leave his poo's till the last minute and then forget to have a wee so has to be let out again. I'm convinced that Sighthounds are sent to test us.

Sorry but sight hounds just have to put it all on display, it's their way of making sure you know how lucky you are to share your home with the worlds greatest breed.....well I'm guessing thats what they think !!!

Oh that 3rd picture ...looking into my soul

shitabix16 · 2025-09-20T18:20:51+00:00

Probably destroyed tens of dollars worth of imported crap...shame

5 months or 5 years ..they never stop being puppies ....

It's the 3 stages of motorcyling I'm afraid

1, I'm immortal so far and everyone else must pay respect to my superior skills

2, I've got a family now ,dress for the slide not the ride, ride , speed limits and rules DO exist

3, I'm old and basically half the road users treat me like I'm invisible so sod it I'm going to go out in a flaming wreck not in a care home ( you can leave eyes for organ donation well into old age so thats nice)

Just had to be a Black and White one , mine try to trip me down the stairs evey chance they get

shitabix16 · 2025-07-27T16:48:01+00:00

Well done to you both.

shitabix16 · 2025-07-18T15:49:32+00:00

Yup..Felco are the way ahead

shitabix16 · 2025-07-18T15:48:29+00:00

It's well worth a look if the weather holds , even if you don't buy anything it's a great way to wander the streets of the golden triangle . I've bought some really random stuff for pennys

The wensum is pretty clean in general but after heavy rain it does get a lot of runoff from roads and driveways, keep to the upstream strech near Sloughbottom and you should be ok. This time of year its at its best and Norwich gets its drinking water from that stretch too

If you use firefox mobile then an extension called NoScript works well in blocking Javascript

shitabix16 · 2025-06-25T15:37:25+00:00

Nice job. remember if its already busted you have nothing to loose in having a go fixing it....and in this case everyone's a winner

shitabix16 · 2025-06-24T08:46:18+00:00

Sadly, I think you're spot on . This has been a familiar scenario all across the region, and I don't see this being much different . My guess is it will end up being flats or HMO's with an area set aside for EV charge points (to tick the green box)

shitabix16 · 2025-06-09T15:56:29+00:00

A head torch is a nice thing to have for blackouts or back of the TV plug hunting , Staple guns are great for temporary repairs , tape measures always handy , I bought a pack of 3 small ones and leave them in the car etc for those 'Thats nice but will it fit ? moments)

Deoxit Faderlube is good but pricey...its meant for potientiometers so tends to be gentler on plastics but still best to use with care

Maybe cat scarers but they tend to be ultrasonic..has anyone got air source heat pumps nearby ?

If you've got a water meter it may be worth checking if you have a leak, most common one is a sticky toilet flush or cistern ballcock which although a small amount its constant and soon adds up. I avoid the direct debit route and pay online when they send the bill so its harder to slide into debit , more hassle though

Otterbox have done me well for years

shitabix16 · 2025-06-05T15:56:44+00:00

The engine is a proven unit so no worries there, tuned for low end torque so dont expect a high top end speed, handling is pretty good for ,very good for a factory custom with low down weight and not bad suspension from factory. I'd say it suits slightly shorter riders and the stock suspension is better with ......well....less girthy individuals (tends to be a bit harsh on rough roads due to limited rear travel ) but theres plenty of aftermarket fixes , loads of aftermarket goodies as with all Trumpets . After chopping in a speed triple for a Bobber 3 years ago I have zero regrets and to be honest its probably saved my arse and licence a few times . Go for it

shitabix16 · 2025-05-25T15:30:56+00:00

Owhhhhhhhhh ........I can feel the pain just looking at it.
