    Good evening! My name is Adrian and I am now a proud owner of. 2022 Triumph Street Twin. Man, been looking at this bike for a year now. I’m still a fairly new rider. I started on a Honda Rebel in 2020. That was my first bike and as a short rider I needed something that I could flat foot to boost my confidence. Hopping on the Street Twin for the first time I found myself on my tip toes and could feel my anxiety set in. I test rode it and I couldn’t stop smiling the whole ride. Luckily I’ve already built a habit of stopping with my left foot down so the seat height wasn’t a problem at all. Anyway, very nice to meet you all and I’m glad I finally made the jump. I love my new ride!

    Welcome to the family. Good intro and lovely bike. If you need the control just drop those rear shocks by half an inch and replace with some firmer units.
    Joe.

    Greetings, Adrian, and welcome to the forum. And to the wonderful world of motorcycles and riding! It's great to hear and feel the excitement of a new(er) rider with a new bike. Enjoy that Street Triple! And I hope you enjoy the forum. There are lots of helpful, knowledgable, interesting, talented, and entertaining folks here always willing to provide information, share experience, and give advice. Whereabouts in California are you from? I spent ten years there, some in the Bay Area and some in San Diego County.

    Hi Sandi. Thanks for the welcome! I’ve been in the Central Valley for the last 5 years but I originally leaved in the Bay Area, particularly Fremont, where I grew up.
