    Just wanted to introduce myself! I've LONG wanted for a Speed Triple and for my Bday last week I got a 2007 1050 in black and gold that I'm super excited about adding to my collection! I have several other bikes, but this is my very first Triumph! Looking forward to learning and contributing!

    I am a certified motorcycle instructor in basic rider course, intermediate, advanced, adventure bike, and 3-wheel! I love all types of riding, including roadcoarse woods, and cross-country sport touring! I also own a small motorcycle, welding and light fabrication shop.

    That's quite the stable! My first bike was a 2003 Speed Triple that my son now has. Nice ride, but not very comfy for my passenger (wife). Moved on to a Sprint GT 1050, and then a Trophy SE 1215. I got onto my old Speedy and it felt like a bicycle! Maybe a smaller bike is in the cards someday!!

    Love the look of the twin headlights, too!

    Only charging through lines of traffic ? The bastard thing turns me into a 17 year old ( with very sweaty armpits !)
    The only things I could say against it ...... thinks ? ... hmmmm ? ... the previous owner replaced the 'uh oh' headlights with the later 'angry' ones... but I have the originals, so, one day, maybe ?
    Enjoy, mate .. go, stop, handling, what more is there ?
    A better seat for mummy-bear, apparently ? :p
    Nah .. that's what the Bonnie's for !!!

    Luck to yer !:joy:
