    Triumph Speed Trifle

    Was washing my bike this arfo and some dude rides past on a new Speed Trifle. He stops and asks if I was Finn... He was bigger than me but I was armed with a hose so I said yes. Turns out it was Zxer. We swap bikes and go for a quick spin. The reason I called it a trifle is cause it's soooo smoooooth and full of torque. Very nice indeed. It has completely changed my opinion on Triumph's. I would own one for sure.

    Zxer, nice wheelie up my street mate.

    My mother always told me never trust an Australian. However, in your case she may have been wrong, god rest her soul.

    I'd head straight for the forest and form a gang of outlaws... I'd go by the name Finn of Sherwood and our MO would be to steal from the hardworking and give to the takers. We would be relentless and stop at nothing until all the noblemen and wealth are driven from the country. The city would crumble, the cobblestones perish. Law and order would be no longer. A desolate land. We'd call our gang... The Labour party.

    And then locked away in a basement garage that is silent alarmed during the night. If, per chance someone was stupid enough to enter the hot zone they would find themselves staring down the barrel of a licensed Class A firearm. A "six pack" would hold them nicely till the cops arrived.

    Failing that, insurance will cover it.

    Yeah but where are you going to find a heartless cruel bitch to lead your labour party? There can't be two of them on the planet. Hang on, can you take our one with you? And her beautiful billboards.

    Those Speed Triples are a sweet ride alright. Did it feel much different than the Brutale?
    ps- why do Aucklanders need to hose down their bikes when it rains every 11.4 minutes.
    Happiness is a means of travel, not a destination

    Thought you might have met ZRXER on one of the rides on the Coro Loop.
    Must have been one you weren't on I suppose.

    Yeah, haven't ridden a triple yet but they look kinda cool and supposed to go well too.

    Triumph seem to turning up some nice machines lately. The Daytona 675 pipped the other mid range bikes in the USA and was ahead of the Ducati 749 as well.

    They are making some nice machines lately.

    Mind you, that Brutale is real tasty.
    If the destination is more important than the journey you aint a biker.

    But Finn's a rich wanker.

    He'll just buy another one. He used to being robbed by the peasant folk of new zealand.

    It felt completely differant. Higher geared and more torque down low.

    Ha! It got road works on it yesterday so it needed a clean. Had it's first 1000k service today at Motorcycle Surgery. Great guy (Ian) and he know's his stuff. Just behind Motormail, College Hill.
