N00b with his first motorbike

hi guys

I'm new to the motorbike scene and have recently bought myself my first bike. I have always been into anything with an engine and thought it was a good time to get out of cars and start riding.

I bought myself a 2010 Street Triple R in graphite grey with only 4K on the clock. I'm in love with it!! And have a few little mods coming up to get it how I want it.

Riding is addictive and I'm truly loving it. I want to be out constantly. The Mrs is getting a bit annoyed with me as the bike is getting more attention than her.

This looks like a good forum and look forward to reading and posting my own experiences.

Hi guys, thanks for the replies. I'm from the sunny seaside town of Worthing there are a few nice country roads around here which will be getting plenty of use!

Hi Adam, welcome in ! Good choice you made there. Please don't let the misses make you fall victim to PMS (Parked Motorcycle Syndrome). Enjoy the forum !

 

Hi Adam, welcome to the wonderful world of Triumph!

All you need now is another W Sussex member and you're set. I'm sure there's one around somewhere ...

 

Hi and welcome in.......

Welcome Adam. Great bike you have there. Truly addictive machine having ridden my mate's.

 

A warm welcome Adam nice bike be safe, my friend

 

Cheers for the warm welcome chaps, loving the bike. My R&G tail tidy turned up today. It was a bit fiddly to fit and needed a few of the holes re drilling but apart from that it was pretty straight forward to fit and looks 1000 times better!

I'm ordering a smaller plate and looking at getting some slimline LED indicators but not sure which ones to get so if you have any ideas let me know.

 

Nice rear end!

 

Thats a tidy rear end you have there Andy lol

 

Careful how small you go on the number plate Adam.
One of the forum members posted he got done for that a few weeks ago.

 

I can't find the thread DD, but I thought it was the digits that were deemed as too small, he was pulled and fined £100 and was warning others
