    Howdy Everyone :D Now I don't actually own STR at the mo but I have a very strong hankering for one! Preferably the newer model! I currently own a 2010 HRC Fireblade and a Honda CB 1 400!
    I had my 1st off Oct 15, a very slow one with disastrous consequences! I basically done a number on my left forearm! And haven't been able to ride since but I'm definitely test riding a ST & STR come the spring ;)
    I'm looking forward to finding out more about Triumph I have ridden a 675 Daytona and Speed Triple! I love the 675 triple not so much the 1050 triple! Anyhoo a big hello from north of the border

    Trev.

    Hi Trev, welcome in. Nice pix of the arm by the way, looks a bit like my right wrist after some twonk on a mountain bike clobbered me while me and Mrs Al were out with our dog. Hope you find your new love soon.

    Done a better job than me, not as many loose bits, pieces and ironmongery in my arm, just bits of wire pokin' through the skin with bits of plastic plate on the outside.
    This left handed keyboard banging is a bugger.
