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 ******* 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.
