New Ride, 2008 Speed Triple
« on: April 12, 2008, 07:16:03 PM »
Picked up the new ride on Friday.  2008 Triumph Speed Triple.  Truly awesome piece of machinery.  Hope I can find the time to ride my CB550 this summer.

Canon Powershot SD600. Got it for my wife last Christmas.  Really nice camera for a point and shoot.

Damn I love the Speed Triple. If I were to buy a new bike, that'd be the one. Congratulations and enjoy!

PS. I don't blame you if you can't find time to ride your CB!

Thats my first Pick if I ever get the chance to buy newer bike. Something tells me that if I ever did get one I would have to learn to ride the wheelie instead of just popping them.
Congrats.

I had the dealer put the Arrow 3-1 full system on it with correct ECU tune.  Waiting on my barend mirrors to come in.  Getting various bits of carbon stuff for it and probably black handlebars.  Over the winter I'm going to have some parts powder coated black too.
