    I thought I should do the decent thing and introduce myself to you guys and gals. I'm an expat living on the beautiful peninsula close to Melbourne. My wife bought me my dream bike 3 months ago and words fail me as to how much I love my Speed RS. The smoke haze lifted the other day so I took it for a blast down to Phillip Island. Speedy never put a foot wrong. Best decision I ever had. I've never owned a Triumph before but now there will never be anything else in there from now on. Cheers everyone and thoroughly enjoy the banter on this forum. 20200108_113614.jpg

    Cheers for the compliment on the bike mate. I get loads of praise for how she looks. We're a fair way from the bushfires at present so here's hoping it stays that way.

    Thanks for the welcome mate. There's no shortage of great locations to take shots of down here that's for sure.
