    I agree with your sentiments about the F800, I thought my F800ST was a very good bike but like you it just left me a bit cold, the Street Triple is in another league, it’s just such a good bike in comparison, makes every ride an absolute pleasure and it’s such fun, which is what motorcycles should be.

    There’ll be no tears when the F800GT is carried off by its new owner. It never let me down but there’s more to riding than utility. I’ll have to ride a Triple one of these days, sounds fantastic!

    Would look good in your castle. And that Triumph Triple Ripple does thing to you head.
    Ride Safe

    I won’t lie; it’s great to have a clean, well-lit space. For 25 years I’d been making do with a 2-1/2 car garage shared with two cars, a old motorboat, all the lawn care equipment, and anything that didn’t fit in the house. It was always dirty and poorly lit, always had to move things around to work on a bike or take one out...I was living like an animal! This new pole building is paradise.

    Make sure you keep it as your own. Don't get invaded with the cars. And one day we will all come over and use your castle for parking.
    Regards
    Joe.

    Great minds think alike! Mrs. Futterman is always proposing new ways to take up all my space storing various junk. I’ve granted her one 1.5 m x 1.5 m corner behind the boat, which is currently occupied by her swimming pool pump/filter and associated hoses and piping, as well as a wooden 4-harness table loom. Enough! Lol

    If you guys ever roll through Kentucky you’re more than welcome to overnight here!

    We’re all on our way, we’ve chartered a Boeing 737, I can’t believe how cheap it was!
