Bought the wife a new bike

[ULEWZ]

Ann has been bugging me for a new bike to replace her DRZ400sm, as that bike has a high center of gravity and only 35hp, so we splerged and got here a brand new 2012 Triumph Street Triple R in red. So far she loves it and it is light at under 400 lbs. :clapping:

Woo-freakin'-hooooo! :yahoo:

That looks like a fun ride.

 

[AlleyCat]

That is a very nice ride !!! A buddy of mine rides the Speed Triple and loves it. No issues with the bike...

 

[marcusorelius]

Sweeet!

 

[escapefjrtist]

Very nice!

Now you've got a hooligan bike when the SO is out of town! :lol:

[tcfjr]

Very cool. My son got a new Speed Triple a couple months ago, in black. He loves it!

 

[ahchiu]

That's nice, it's nice when your family rides together. :yahoo:

 

[not2shabby]

Sa-weet! I'd like to take one of those for a spin.

Triples are without a doubt THE best engine for a motorcycle. Now if Yamaha could make a 1300cc triple sport tourer, I'd be all over it.

I like the idea of a triple, and that Street Triple by the OP looks awesome...

...BUT I replaced my XS Eleven(four) with an XS850(triple) with insurance money in 1980 after the Eleven got stolen...and all I thought about was how puny the HP was compared to the Eleven. I guess I really look at the response of the throttle more than how many pistons it has.

All things being equal in the response category, I would love a triple.

I need a rich step daddy like Beemerdons or somebody like that to buy me a bunch of different bikes so I can compare them all.

But if that doesn't happen...I'm still good with touring the world on my FJR.

Beemerdons already has one bastard step child drinking his beer so why on earth would he want another one. Beside that I am in line in front of you.

Yeah, I know I've no shot at that.

But maybe if Smitty would let me ride his bike(s) when gets them, I should have a good number of test rides of different bikes in the next ten years or so to make comparisons with...please Smitty please...

ULEWZ, awesome bike and very cool to have a wife that rides.

My wife was not near as happy as yours when I bought her the S4RS Duc ...

 

[Hudson]

Life is pretty sweet when the wife gets the speed triple as her gift. Mebbe I should try that for Valentines Day.

Never mind.
