    Hi everybody! Came across this site via facebook and looks good so far!

    Had various Triumphs and now park my backside upon a 2012 Speed Triple.

    Looking forward to catching up with you on various forums and having fun with the usual banter!:upyeah:

    Thanks for the welcome!

    Yep, Red is the best colour and also the fastest! :wink: I buy my bikes from A1 Moto, and not being biased, Ive always been looked after by them. Also, the 70+ miles to ride there makes it a mini day out too!

    Taking the S3 to Switzerland this year, (my old 1600 Thunderbird did 2 previous euro tours over the last 2 years) so really looking forward to doing some of the alpine passes. Did the Grossglockner last year from Tridays and that was a blast.

    Did the Alps last year and had a great time, bet quite a few forum members would be interested in seeing some photos from Tridays if you have any.

    Hi Almack and welcome to the forum, I'm sure you will soon see that there is plenty of good lads on Here and couple or one who continues to strive to bring every thread In to disrepute.... But he or they are in the minority.... Sad really but hey ho so is life.... It is these sad individuals that make you realise how normal an existence the rest lead whilst they wallow in pure sadness... But each to their own... We all share a love of triumph if not each other...!we pity them and their existence... :upyeah:
    Oh yeah and by the way,given their age it's probably a mid life crisis or dementia.... You decide....:wink:

    Hi all - I am a mate of Als and have just signed up to the forum after he pointed it out to me!

    I too am a Speed Triple owner although mine is the earlier model before they stuck those insect eyes on the front!!

    I did Tridays with Al last year too - a must for all Triumph owners - its on 21st June this year!!

    Hi Midge. I went to Tridays back in 2008, top three days. The mate that I went with has done it every year since but I feel it would get a bit samey. My SIII is the older model too (notice how much faster they are than the newer ones?). Welcome to the forum.
