    Hi all,
    I've been on Ducati's for the last 10 years but today picked up my first Triumph, a cheeky little speed twin. The weather was pants but still enjoyed the ride home. Fingers crossed for some dry days ahead.

    Hi Ballbagracer and welcome.
    Thinking of changing to a Speed T from a Street T myself.
    I had ball bag trouble when riding Ducatis...they always seemed to be scrunched up to the tank! :worried:
    Regards,Ken.

    Welcome, from another forum newbie. I picked up my first Triumph on Monday, a 2016 Speed Triple R, to go alongside my Multistrada 950.

    Woh it's a cracker. How do you find those mirrors. Just ask as my boy wants me to fit them to my street triple. I myself never been a fan but looking I suppose they give a better view. Thanks for sharing the picture.
    Regards & Ride Safe.

    Very happy with the view from the mirrors. Always fancied bar end mirrors on previous bikes. These suit me just fine.
