Congrats Shaun, good to see you back in it.

Whenever I get back to NZ to live I gotta go see that crazy DMNTD nutcase...

True, with the TREX out of action, I'm down to a push bike.

Though if you were on the poocati it may be close.

No 90% of the time it doesn't do anything but theres just that 10% of the time when you fuck up, don't give it enough of a rev between the gears and your already hard on the front brake so the backs got no weight on it...stops the back wheel from locking up and skittering around

I like the way the engine sounds.

They've never been that expensive.

Go naked and get the Street Triple.

Street and Sport Motorcycles in CHCH have a new one for $15k. Sounds all good at any price under 16k.

I am lucky to have a ggod friend who has one and has no probs about letting me take her out. They sure are a nice ride.

Yeah, it really makes them worth looking at at the price. At $17.5K (full retail I think) I would still choose a CBR 600 or GSXR 600 I think...$2K goes a decent way to mods. But when the Triumph starts being a competitor cost wise, it really is hard to pass by. I think I might just go have a look at one when I get back to NZ.
