    Hi guys,
    Returning to riding from a lot of years without a bike.
    Just purchased a street triple 675 r , on the good days when it’s not raining , or salt spreading going on,
    I am absolutely loving it. Didn’t realise how much I missed it.

    Nice ride! Aftermarket exhaust? I didn't know that salt was used in the UK. When I lived near Hull in the late 90's, there was precious little snow or road treatment.

    Here in NJ (USA), however, salt and gravel are in common use. But some recent warmth still allows for a casual (not spirited) ride, as the car traffic moves the debris to the sides of the roads.

    Where do you ride the new bike?

    I have had some periods of 2 or 3 years without a bike, felt like I had a limb missing.
