New bike pix

Very nice Jules, enjoy.

Very weird spokes on that wheel. Is that a design statement of some
sort?

Triumphs I have ridden are not for short people. Sorry Betty.

Thanks Johno Petal... <making rude signs at theo> hee hee

That's why all I can do is drool enviously, theo... Hey, I went on a ride
down the coast recently with a group, and there was a bloke with a black one
of those - it looked an absolute weapon, and I was just dying to see him put
it through its paces in the twisties, but he rode like a nanna - even I
overtook him at one stage, and I reckon _I_ ride like a nanna! It was sad to
see such a beautiful bike so poorly treated!

Well, I dunno how tall you are, but the Speed Triple was too big for me.

OTOH, the Street Triple fits me rather nicely!

I reckon she won't get rid of the SV until she's thrown it down the road
another few times.

The Street Triple is amazing. For all intents and purposes it makes the
same power and torque at the same revs as my Z750 despite being 10% down
in cubic capacity; it's 30kg lighter; it's the same price (give or
take); and it looks horn. The current model Z750 looks like it's trying
to look horn. And everything else in that class worth considering is
much more expensive.

And I'm having trouble thinking of a public road in Australia worth
riding [1] where a Speed Triple rider could get away from a Street
Triple rider of equal skill.

[1] On that sort of bike. If ultimate top speed matters, buy a Busa.

 

You are a NASTY man Andrew!

Don't worry Betty, I'm only 5'4. It's been lowered enough that it's the
same seat height as my TT. If you can ride an SV you should manage the S2.

Ta Theo.

I think it's all flowery-like so I can say it's a girly bike... <looks
around for Bugsy>

 

S2? Did they cut one cylinder off too?

 

<smirk> bless you Clem, you must be psychic! I was just thinking exactly the
same thing <snigger>

betty

 

tired fingers............. it's been a big week, Clem.

 

No, Out Of Pocket Specials. It's an add on to the insurance because of all
the extra bling.

 

Oh, well, in that case, consider yourself invited to drop in chez Manson
any time you are passing thru Sydney.... I'll have the allen keys ready! ;-)
