northern rat pack weekend

2011-06-17 - 2011-06-19

The Northern RAT Pack invite you to join them at the Patterdale Hotel, Patterdale, Cumbria, for "RATBASH 5" - a weekend of great riding and great company.

The biker-friendly Patterdale Hotel, located at the head of Ullswater in the heart of the Lake District, is the perfect base for a weekend of riding in some truly stunning scenery.  Typically attracting over 100 Triumph riders to the event, the 5th Ratbash will kick off with a pub quiz in the bar on Friday evening.  Saturday sees the option of three guided rides or plenty of advice on where to visit if you prefer to go it alone.  All followed by an evening of live music and a charity auction, with proceeds to the Air Ambulance.

triumph street triple battery

my street triple r hasnt moved since early november due to the british weather.
Well today finally got out for a quick ride.
The bike started first time no problems at all,the battery hasnt been charged (full or trickle) in nine weeks.
I have heard some complaints about battery life on the street but i cannot fault it.
Tyre pressures were very low so bear that in mind if yours has been sitting for a while.

triumph street triple battery

Not been able to test the bike to see if its leaking as the weather is so bad.
I decided to remove the battery and leave it inside in the warmth. Not started the triple for a month and it could be another 4 weeks yet.
The battery is not on charge,the test in 8 weeks will it start,we shall see.
