    Greetings,

    Having waded through gobs of Italian bureaucracy, tomorrow I will pick up my 2019 Triumph Speed Triple from the dealership here in Milan. I moved here a month or so ago after 15 years in the US. I was living in Michigan, known as the Mitten. Before that, England and before that, New Zealand.

    Left my BMW R1200GS and GSXR600 (track bike) back in the States as I'll be back there in a couple of years and am looking forward to getting back on a Triumph. Had a Daytona 600 from 2003 - 2005 which I absolutely loved. Unfortunately my company wouldn't let me take it to the States.

    Cheers. I visit on a regular basis as my dad and sister still live there. As for living there, unlikely :(

    Yes - both are great bikes for different uses....but the Speed Triple will help me to forget about them. :)
