Under200 from CLSB was kind enough to let me ride his Speed Triple. What a nice ride. Very comfy riding position with a greatvery torquey engine. Sitting position is a little high for my tastes but not too bad. But it really sealed the deal. No more supersports for me. The GSX-R 750 will go on sale next season. I need to decide what to get next season.

Hunny and I rode a triple for 10 minutes one day. Nice comfortable ride.

doesn't he have a street triple?

You are correct. All those Eurotrash bikes look the same to me.

No, he has a Streed Triple.

I'm pretty much convinced I'm done with the supersports for a while. I'm bored with it. The roads in Illinois suck for trying to have fun on a full on sportbike. I've ridde
n the same 3 "decent" roads 1000s of times. I don't have time to take a whole day every weekend to ride to WI in search of good roads. I don't have the money to do more than 1 or 2 trackdays a year.

I'm going motard .

i am thinking the same, but the monster said to me, "it's either track or street. not both"

yep, street trips are fun. great for whipping around the city. if i still lived down there, i prolly would've gotten that instead of the speedy.

Fire her ass right down a flight of stairs. That will change her mind.

Last weekend my girlfriend was questioning why I need to have 5 motorcycles. It's impossible to explain that to someone who doesn't ride or have any hobbies similar to riding.

My SV is mostly for track. Street I am going vintage or SuMo.

Hahaha I get that all the time with my bicycles. Funny thing is, I just got her a hybrid to start riding a little. She's ridden it a total of 4 times so far, and already she said she might like a regular road bike. So I ride like a few hundred miles a week for 10 years and have 8 bikes, and she's ridden 4 times in her life and wants another. Needless to say I won that one.

Oh yeah, back to the Triumph. I want to ride a 675 sometime to see how I like that. I bet I would love it.

You will love the 675 esp on the track. Thats where I fell in love with it.



I am starting to like the Buell 1125 more and more everytime I ride it. 149 hp and brakes that can stop a truck Plus the thing is very very comfortable.

at our age, that's becoming more 'n more relevant

so true

The d675 is an awesome bike. Third gear is a mother fucker though.

I love my D675. Best bike I've owned so far. If I were to rank my bikes in order of most favorite, it would go like this:

1) Daytona 675
2) R6
3) R1

I would rank my list as follows. Never should have gotten rid of my F4i.

1) 2006 GSX-R 750
2) 2001 F4i
3) 2005 600RR
4) 2005 R1

Now you got me thinking how many bikes I have actually owned. Holy crap.

what's the count?

Wow, there was no love for the R1, what is wrong with that bike Mao and Erz?
