    Hi Everyone,

    Not quite new to Triumph. I had a Tiger 800 XC which was a nice bike, just not my kind of bike. Went on to a BMW K1300s which was a beast - but heavy. Deposit down on a mint STR 2016 which I will get in about a week. For the flip of a coin could easily have been an MT10 but recon (hope) I made the right choice, so looking forward to owning and riding her and tapping into you guys with more experience than me in this lovely looking bike. Maybe even bump into one or two of you along the way sometime

    Regards,
    Kev

    Welcome to the family. We will look forward to a picture of the steed soon. Helps Nursey administer our meds. You don't want to find out to much about the madhouse here. As when you join us you will be like us. We sit here dribbling over the pictures. But there are some fantastic peeps on here who will back and help you all the way. And like I just said to another member if you are a subscribing member that Halford's card is worth it's weight in gold.
    Ride Safe & Enjoy.
    Joe.

    Hi kev, live quite local and regularly pass your way on a work basis. Might see you at Squires sometime?
    Test rode an MT10 expecting it all singing and dancing. I'd previously rode a mates 2000 r1 street fighter and anticipated more but improved, sadly disappointed.
    I think you'll get on with the Speed well.
