    ...home to some of the best motorcylcing roads the world!

    Not.

    Picking up my first Triumph, a 2008 Speed Triple next week and also my first litre bike.
    Very excited as I've waited ages for the right one.

    Any honts and tips on the bike much appreciated.

    I'll be getting our on across the coubtry this summer so will keep an eye open for all Triumph owners...

    Hi welcome to the forum, am sure you will have a great time with the Speed Triple; the 1050 engine is a peach. Plenty of Speed Triple owners on here. Look forward to seeing some picks of the bike when you get it

    Yeh riding in London is a pain but it beats the tube or bus and even though I'm in the rat race I can pretend I'm not for 20 mins every morning and evening!

    Have you got any security settings on which is preventing them from uploading? I believe some android phones have a problem with uploads.

    Hi Tratch, sorry for the delay, your pictures are now on the forum. We've had to up the security settings on the site as we have had a lot of spam members posting on here.

    Please PM me if you are having any other problems.

    Kind regards

    PS awesome Speed Triple ;)

    Am loving it - though the ride quality on London rides is not great.

    Booked in for K-Tech piston kit, custom springs and Nitron Sport rear shock all set up for my weight and style.

    Will post pics and feedback soon as.
