went to riverton over new years, and i saw a suzuki tl1000s there...stood there staring at it for about 5 minutes. then i saw a shiny black triumph speed triple. Both were Vtwins and i was waiting for them to leave so i could listen to them but they left

Caltex Rimutaka in Upper Hutt is a great place to watch the bikes go past

i live in queenstown

beautiful town, but bikes aren't very common here. Especially in winter time. Stupid ice and grit!

yeah i just look at the ones on the internet. every so often i'll see a harley or something down here, rich bikes are more common than poor bikes, because of the nature of the town, and people who live down here have too much money and not enough knowledge of cool bikes. That's why they buy harleys (not hassling them) instead of a brand new R6.

i bought the last bikerider magazine, and it had an article on aprilias. THAT is a cool bike. Dunno not sure if the speed triple was a twin, not sure now that you bring it up...

People go straight into buying harleys cause they don't know any better. Its sad

Twin = Two Triple =Three. now how many cylinders does a Speed TRIPLE have? You obviously haven't heard the rorty rumble of a unmuffled late '70s Honda 250 twin have you?
