    Hello all, just joined as I have recently added a 2009 Speed Triple to my garage where it will join my Aprilia Tuono. I must confess to buying the Triumph as main bike as I hate to get the Tuono dirty in the winter, yes I know...........sad. Anyway love the Speedy .

    Hi and welcome.
    I bought a Trident so that I could keep the Bonneville clean.

    What, Ho! Eyore. Welcome and snap - I'm in the process of buying a Sprint so I can keep my Bonnie clean till Spring. Gotta say stolly's solution seems the cheaper option, so double d'oh! :)

    But now having spent so much time and effort getting the Speedy up to my OCD standard I am going to have to buy something else now to keep it immaculate. Dunno where all this will end, probably badly...........divorce.:(

    Well looking on the bight side Eyore divorce does mean you won't need to buy a grab rail.

    Ironically, I fitted a grab rail today. But fear not, as you will see the pillion pegs have been removed.:rolleyes: I bought it to strap the odd bit of luggage to and to make moving the bike about much easier.

    :eek: My Baggage follows me.....................:rolleyes: Loving the bike Tim, always loved the 1050 motor in the Sprint and had that bike for 3 years and almost 30k miles, but eventually got bored with trying to make it handle properly, and brakes were poor too.
    Anyway, as mentioned . Put on a Triumph grabrail, not the T type which gives something to attach my Jofama one piece tail pack to. Hope the side bits don't touch the Arrows but they are abit lower than the originals ,so fingers crossed. Will take the Speedy to the TT next year.
