SteveFord Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 (edited) In exchange for a six pack of beer and a corn dog he brought me a Bug Eyed Monster. A Triumph, just not one from the 70s. You know you're getting old when you put the baffle in the muffler because the damned thing's too loud...

Murph Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 A bribe. Why didn't I ever think of that? Fantastic, Steve, I rode for several decades when I was a younger man. Now and then I think I'd like to have a bike again, even if just a smaller 350/500, something to putter around town. Heck yea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Pepper Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 (edited) I guess it was a motorcycle or another reptile. As Gibson haven’t done a Bill Nelson “Axe Victim” ES-345 or Andy Powell “FUBB” Flying V. Edited December 25, 2023 by Sgt. Pepper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveFord Posted December 25, 2023 Author Share Posted December 25, 2023 Thank you, gentlemen. I'm pretty sure England is a small island packed full of very polite psychos. I hope everyone had a great Christmas. Time to eat turkey and watch football through my eyelids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narwhal6 Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Speed Triple? Damn, that's like 170hp isn't it? I had an Aprilia 750 that was maybe 90hp, felt like I could barely hang onto it when it was in sport mode. With the onset of arthritis I switched to a cruiser style Softail. The Aprilia had that same angular street fighter look your Triumph has, I like it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFord Posted December 26, 2023 Author Share Posted December 26, 2023 It's not quite that much, I think 138. There's no riding modes or ABS on this one so I really had to think hard about getting it. I know it's fully capable of driving me into the ground like a tent peg. I hate when that happens.
