    Just wanted to introduce myself! I've LONG wanted for a Speed Triple and for my Bday last week I got a 2007 1050 in black and gold that I'm super excited about adding to my collection! I have several other bikes, but this is my very first Triumph! Looking forward to learning and contributing!

    I am a certified motorcycle instructor in basic rider course, intermediate, advanced, adventure bike, and 3-wheel! I love all types of riding, including roadcoarse woods, and cross-country sport touring! I also own a small motorcycle, welding and light fabrication shop.

    That's quite the stable! My first bike was a 2003 Speed Triple that my son now has. Nice ride, but not very comfy for my passenger (wife). Moved on to a Sprint GT 1050, and then a Trophy SE 1215. I got onto my old Speedy and it felt like a bicycle! Maybe a smaller bike is in the cards someday!!

    Love the look of the twin headlights, too!

    Got my first mc endorsement in Sydney back in 1998! Rode an RG250 for that year!
