    Hey, I'm Rob from Orland Park south of Chicago. I built and rode an '80 XS650 for six years and finally had to throw in the towel. In desperate need of reliability, I researched and found the Street Twin and purchased one from Chicago Motoworks. Great bike, great service and with only 160 miles on it so far, I am thrilled to be riding a Triumph. Looking forward to hearing about your Triumph experiences and sharing mine.
    Obviously, I am not going to be using this forum like the XS650 one in that, this bike is complete and will hopefully run with reliability.
    Grace and Peace all!

    Welcome to the family. Another all black steed. The inmates will be happy with that picture Black is one of the favourite colours here in the asylum. The xs is a great bike as well had a couple over the years and loved them. Great intro by the way.
    Regards & Ride Safe
    Joe.

    Welcome from sunny California. I have a 2018 Street Twin and mine has been flawless. Been riding it for 2.5 years and now 8,000 miles. No issues and it has been reliable. I also maintain it per the book. See mine below. \
    Again welcome!

    Hello and welcome.
    I have a 900 street twin sitting on my drive....it's a loan bike whilst my Thunderbird is being worked on.
    Nice peppy free spinning engine I find..though at 6'3" the remainder of the bike feels rather on the small side.
    But it goes and stops nicely...better than I was expecting.
    I hope you continue to enjoy yours .
