    Hello All,

    My name is Austin and I have been riding about 10 years on and off. Just purchased a 2014 Triumph Street Triple R and I'm in love with it. I have had the bike for about a month now and already made a few mods to it. Most noticeable is the paint that I did myself, the exhaust, tag holder in the back and headlight conversion.

    Glad to be apart of this group and look forward being apart of many discussions :)

    Hello Austin and Welcome to the Forum :cool:
    The Speed Triple R is a cracking bike, a load of fun to ride & will show a clean pair of heels to many a sportsbike round corners, I like the paint job, loving the red white & blue! :p

    Hey Billiam! She is a blast to ride and I am sad that winter is coming, I will be out on it less but really looking forward to this spring. I figured the RWB, can't go wrong since shes a Brit and I live in the states (Don't hold that against me) so it works both ways lol

    Thanks guy :party:

    Welcome to the family. Yes real cool looking machine you have there. Thanks for sharing the picture. The inmates here in the asylum will love it. Nursey will get a quite night with the meds.
    Ride Safe & Enjoy.

    Hi, Austin! Sandi T here. Welcome to a great forum with a terrific bunch of guy--and gals. What a great bike! Glad you're loving it. The paint job is gorgeous.

    Billy is right (and didn't have to give it too long), here I am to tell you it's still good in Arizona! :joy::joy::joy: :sun: In fact, today the overnight low was in the high 50's F and the high was in the 70's with sunny blue skies. Perfect. :cool: I'll try not to gloat too much come January. ;) Enjoy that Street Triple, especially before winter hits in Baltimore!!

    Cheers to all for the warm welcome!

    Had to park on the roof of the parking garage today and snapped a nice diddy of Baltimore's Bromine Seltzer Clock Tower (Bmores Big Ben)
