    Evening all.

    New member here and just wanted to say “hello”. Names Darren and I am based in Aberdeen, UK.

    Not had a bike in a few years (last one was Bonneville T100 Black), but the itch bit again and so last week I collected my new Triumph Street Triple S. Few pics attached. BB600555-5EC0-4258-9270-618F4D9ACFDB.jpeg 2737CEEC-7CBE-4BD5-AAA7-E8BD434DCC3B.jpeg D8DA484D-C64B-4936-A9D2-6B056FE05C13.jpeg

    Only “mods” so far are a tail tidy, and bar end mirrors. Don’t intend doing much else. Am interested in a dash cam setup, so if anyone has any recommendations, keen to hear.

    Set up an Instagram page to track some rides around some of the brilliant roads around here, so please give me a follow. @Scottish_triumph

    Anyway, maybe see some of you out and about

    Welcome to the family. With those pictures you will go down a storm with the inmates and nursey will love you for keeping them quite while she dishes out the meds.
    Ride Safe & Enjoy

    Hi Darren,

    Good looking bike you got there! I'm looking at getting one for the missus soon. I was wondering if you had any opinion on if getting the "S" over the "R" is good choice. I'm almost certain you must have done the research before buying. There's a new 2018 street S at my local dealer and the price is very convincing. Thanks!

    For me, I wanted a bike that I could use occasionally. So spending the extra for the R just didn’t make sense. For what I need it to do, the S is ideal. Things like the new TFT dash on the new R, and a few other “toys” would of been nice, but really they’d have been luxuries rather than necessities for me.
