Featured Back To Five Bikes Again Just Put The Street Triple Back On The Road

Looks great Joe, very nice

 

I think blue would look best ... but then I have no eye for colour coordination or decoration

 

I agree with @MadMrB @joe mc donald -blue stripe would look good. Looks like you have done a great job even if it is just rattle cans. Hope you manage to get a good ride or two in. Weather where I am is atrocious - cold, windy and wet

 

Blue it is then Joe

 

Looks great

I'll put a spoke in tho, I'd leave the wheels unstriped

Def prefer them plain

 

Looks good @joe mc donald

 

Your STriple looks absolutely lovely, Joe. The belly pan and hugger look good colour coded. If you DO succumb to the urge to put stripes on the wheels it has to be either blue or black - if blue, try to get one similar to the brake line colour. Just my 2 penn'orth.

Edit ... BTW did you use the HARPIC MAX10 method to clean the exhaust downpipes?

 

Bike looks awesome @joe mc donald, no blue for me just plain old white

 

Top job @joe mc donald that's a very nice bike you have mate

 

Your Street Triple is looking terrific, Joe! And your photography skills are on the upswing, too. I hope you're able to get in some good rides on this bike before your bad weather kicks in.

I do have to say that your thread title is a bit of a bad influence on me. I'm down to two bikes since I traded my Road Glide Special and Low Rider S for the new Street Glide Special. But I'm finding myself obsessing over getting a third bike again to fill that empty space in my garage--and my motorcyclist heart. So you saying you're back to five bikes again makes having three bikes seem positively tame!

 

Yes, when I'm combing the MC sites and YouTube reviews at night I try to remember that another bike in the garage isn't just the initial cost but also insurance, registration, maintenance, tires, etc. And I do now have that Mutang in the garage too. But the pull of a third bike is S-T-R-O-N-G!

I'm glad your boy helped you see the light on the Street. It's a beautiful machine, Joe. Yes, you can only ride one at a time. But if that was the primary argument for how many bikes to own, we'd all only have one! Unless maybe you can do this....

 

I agree with Adie P, blue rim tape to match the brake lines would really pop. The bike looks so good now, though, it would be just fine to have none at all.

 

Bike's looking very smart, Joe!
