A software developer (C#), a biker (VP of TOMCC), Physics nerd (BSc), likes board/rp games (TTRP), Hawkwind (PXR5), Abruzzo (IT), and is an international superstar (ok, maybe not). If you ride a motorcycle then you're ok in my book.
Sunday's Triumph is the Tiger adventure bike. Not quite the Explorer, but still, the Tiger name has been associated with the adventure bike style since the mid 90's. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #triumph #tiger
So... it's sunny... and it's a Sunday... so where am I? #whereislaurence #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #triumph #streettriple #streettriple765rs
Saturday's Triumph is the venerable Tiger Explorer. This is an XC model meaning it's more off-road biased with wire wheels and suspension to match. Helps with pot-holes. 🙂 #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #triumph #tiger #explorer #tigerexplorerxc
It was tricky getting this picture - but it's a rather nice modern Bonneville T120 though I'm not sure about the bars... but that's just me. At least there's room for a pillion and tail pack. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #bonnevillet120 #triumph #tomcc
Seat covers can give luxury and relief, but surely the fluffy ones can get a bit waterlogged in rain? Still, nice engine bolts on this Tiger 955i. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #triumph #tiger955i #tomcc
One of Triumph's most popular modern classics is its Speed Twin 1200. It's a good all-rounder with classic looks and decent performance. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #triumph #speedtwin1200 #tomcc
There have been two types of Tiger for quite a while - the R type and the C type. This one is an R type - the XRt is a road-focussed touring machine, hence the cast wheels. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #triumph #tigerxrt
Keeping with the white theme from yesterday, here's an early Hinckley Bonneville - complete with luggage. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #triumph #bonneville
Yes... it's mine... but I love it so any excuse for a picture of my Daytona 675R Gen 2. 🙂 #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #triumph #daytona675r
It may be boiling out, but this is what I do every sunny Sunday. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #whereislaurence #triumph #daytonamoto2
So, here's the next Triumph... resplendent in yellow it is a Bonneville T100. This had come all the way from Manchester to Hastings. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #triumph #bonnevillet100 #tomcc

So, day 2 of Triumph and here we have an unapologetically single seater. The Bonneville Bobber is a factory custom that has broken the mould. The luggage looks good too - if small. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #triumph #bobber #bonnevillebobber
So, today is the start of a Trifest of Triumph picture, for a few weeks. To start, here's a Tiger 800, with full luggage. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #triumph #tiger800 #tomcc
If the Honda isn't your thing as a learner, then there's always the Yamaha MT-125... though is it a bit more pricey. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #yamaha #mt125
What's encouraging, these days, are the number of learners I've seen out and about. The Honda CB125R is a good learner bike too. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #honda #cb125r
It's not quite a sports tourer, but then possibly not a tourer in the modern sense. However, the Yamaha Diversion made a lot of sense as it was a very flexible machine. A good second hand buy for a day-to-day commuter. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #yamaha #diversion
When it came out, some people really didn't like that Triumph were using the Bonneville and T100 names for modern bikes... so imagine their views on the Bonneville T100! Anyway, here it is. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #triumph #bonneville #t100 #bonnevillet100
On any given sunny Sunday... #whereislaurence ? #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #triumph #daytona #daytona675r
Once you've passed your test, a good starter bike is a 400cc (in the UK at least) - not so expensive to buy or run. The Kawasaki ZXR400 is also a classic, this version (L3) dating from 1993, so cheaper to insure too. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #kawasaki #zxr400
Amongst learner bikes, it does seem that the Honda CB125F is one of the more popular ones, and at £3,300 OTR you can see why. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #honda #cb125f
Not quite old school, but it is now a Classic as it debuted in 1993/4. The Triumph Thunderbird 900 is almost timeless in appearance. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorcycle #triumph #thunderbird #thunderbird900
Now, I do like a nice Triumph, and although this isn't my sort of bike, the colour on this Tiger Sport 800 is just lovely. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #triumph #tigersport800
This will please the Americans. Occasionally you do see a Harley Davidson out and about... but only when it's sunny, or so it seems. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #harleydavidson
Not posted a BMW for a while, so here's what some claim to be the GOAT of sports bikes - the S1000RR. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #bmw #s1000rr #s1krr
