    AMPS just asked how long I wanted... I said, probably an hour, make it 90 min to be safe, told them I had an exact route planned out in East Auckland, and off I went, three bikes in a row.

    Hey Gubb,

    Sorted a Street triple test ride out yet? thought in another post of yours you had one lined up for the weekend just passed.

    Interested in your views compared to the others you've ridden. The Striple seemed to me to have the best seating / handlebar position and a nice light bike to boot.

    I made the ummmm mistake of test riding the street triple AND the speed triple.....

    Can't for the life of me work out which is nicer.

    The street is some light grunty bike. Easy as *$(*#&$ to wheelie.

    Yeah mate, I had, but 15 minutes after I organised it, they sold the damned thing. didn't have another demo model there, will try the only other Triumph dealer in Aucks, failing that, it'll be off to see DMNTD.

    Write up will follow, as soon as the inevitable grinning like a loon wears off.

    Goddamn I am jealous. Got my full now but can't get management approval for a new bike right now having just been unemployed for three months. Enjoy!

    Just take a credit card, cheque book or some other form of payment, or be prepared to leave the dealer a broken and sad man.

    That is the one reason I won't test ride one. If I cannot buy, I will be sad... very sad.
