Old Shafter, New Bike

Triumph Speed Triple 1

Who needs a mid-life crisis when you ride a motorbike! Last week, I took delivery of my new Triumph Street Triple. After 22 years of riding BMW's (well OK, I owned a Ducati Monster in 2002) I've foresworn Teutonic efficiency for English hooliganism, and it's great!

Triumph Speed Triple 3

Headline info - the Street Triple is a naked streetfighter based on the Daytona 675. There is nothing on it that isn't essential to make it go or stop. Touring with the Shafted horde will a challenge, no 35 litre panniers or top box on this baby. However, the payoff on the daily commute is worth it in spades.
