A Triumphant Day

It was a beautiful morning, to be out on my Triumph. I met a few friends, at Llandow circuit, for a catch up, and then a ride out. The photograph shows the Triumph at Ogmore-by -sea with Porthcawl in the distance. Guess what happened next? I went to start the bike and the bloody battery was flat **** **.My friend Peter, rode home to get some jump leads, but in the meantime, after waiting a while, the battery recovered a small charge, and I was able to start it. She fired up with a big bang, backfired, and then started. On the way home, I saw Peter coming towards me, in his car, and signalled to him, and he turned around and followed me home. I think I will be buying a new battery tomorrow.
