Featured Happy 6 Years, Speedy!

I bought my 2019 Speed Triple on November 23, 2018–six years ago yesterday! I love this bike. It’s the longest I’ve owned any of my bikes since I started riding in 2010. And I have noooo intentions of selling it.

 

I guess I’m really excited about this bike. Somehow, I posted three of the same photo! This was taken on the day I bought the bike.

 

Congratulations..

I’m much the same Sandy. This is also one of my longest kept bikes ever. Just a great piece of engineering that keeps putting a smile on my face.
Wish we had some better biking weather over the last two summers to get out on it more..!

 

Congratulations, we must've bought at similar times.
I purchased my 765rs in November 2018 and recall getting up at about 06:00 with excitement to take it out on the Sunday morning, but wisely decided to wait a few hours for the thermometer to get away from zero centigrade

 

Yes, good on ya, I've had my Thunderbird 30 years in may now.
Like you, doubt I'll ever sell it.

 

30 years, @Bikerman?! That's amazing! I'm sure your Thunderbird is happy that you adopted him nearly 30 years ago and gave him (as they say about pet adoptions) his "forever home".

 

@Sandi T: All the best for you and your Speedy the upcoming years. Enjoy your rides with it!

 

I purchased my 2005 in January 2018, with 15K miles on it. It is now 19 years old, has 37,5K miles on it, and inspite of it having been joined by a brand new 1200 Tiger this year it's not going to be leaving me! I love that Speedy so much, I'll also post 3 pictures!

 

Sandi you know I love my Speed Triple too. Only had mine since last year, but it's a keeper. My avitar photo was taken when we rode them together on the Mt. Lemon road and Ek got his "performance award" when he was riding behind us.

 

Yep, @Vulpes. There's something about our Speed Triples that makes them dearly loved! Thanks for posting your THREE pictures! (Made me feel not quite so inept and silly. Thank you, Wim.)

 

@Marco Wikstrom

Hey, Marco! Yep, I do know that you love your Speed Triple. That's awesome that your avatar photo is one I took of you on Mt. Lemmon last year! I laughed so hard at your comment about Ek's "performance award" (that's "code" for speeding ticket for the rest of you), that my smoothie came out my nose.

 

@Sandi T Yes great machine and glad you love it.

 

Three photos because it’s a triple….
I’ll go now

 

Here’s mine and it’s “twin”
