    Hi,
    I'm new to Triumph motorcycle world. Just got my Speed Triple 1200RS delivered yesterday :). Really nice looking, well finished bike.
    I live in a small village in the Fench Alps. We have nice twisty mountain roads here, the bike should do well.
    Looking forward to chating with you.
    Regards
    Didier

    Yes, indeed. I was riding around the Aix les Bains lake this nice sunny morning. Really nice and quiet.

    I'm on the first heights of Aix, toward Le Revard.
    If you plan another ride around, let me know. We can eventually speak french if we meet. :grinning:

    Thank you for the offer Hubaxe. I usually stop at the Skiff pub at the Grand Port when I ride around the lake area. Indeed we can meet there.

    J'étais dans ta belle ville d'Aix-les-Bains hier matin où j'ai dégusté un bon café au Skiff. J'étais avec ma RT ;)

    Nice bike. The RT was an option as I came back to motorcycling, but I made too many kilometers on BMW, I went for something different.
    Next time send me a pm, I'll ride down the mountain for a coffee. That place is a nice biker spot.

    Yes, I'll let you know next time I go there. Would be nice to meet with you.
    I had the same thinking as you, try something different, thus the Speed Triple, which I enjoy a lot. But I could not get rid of my BMW(s), in addition to the RT, I have a S1000RR.
