Rode it for a short distance and the engine sounded great. Everything works fine. Needs a rear new tire.

Very nice Charlie, happy riding to you!

I'd ride that in a heartbeat.

A couple of friends have had those, really nice bikes. Looks like a great deal.

They seem to be a real bargain. My friend has a Speed Triple and loves it. Seems like a really nice bike and makes a good noise. I considered a Spring ST when I was shopping for a sport touring bike. I think it was the lack of gadgets that turned me away. Got a 2009 K1300GT.

A street triple is what I started wanting but I got hooked on liter bikes. Touring is what I really like doing and I hope this one works for that. My fear is that the more sporty riding position will get the best of me. I sure hope not! I'll try it out in a couple of weeks. It doesn't have cruse control, which I would have liked. It seems as though it will be mine Saturday. Let's hope the weather is a bit cooler then, as it's going to be close to 108 today.

Just think about the forced riding position as an incentive to fully explore the benefits of yoga.

There is wisdom in this statement! I've been in physical therapy since March from an over zealous Yoga instructor and my ignorance. I haven't given up on Yoga but my choice of instructors is limited to one. Ti Chi is my next hope.

Nice bike for sure. It's amazing what $3000 will buy now in the used bike market.

Slick looking bike. Front tire looks not so good either.

I have a friend who is a yoga instructor. She's gonna be 70 this year, so her workouts are for people our age with low stress positions.
She talks about some younger instructors who get competitive and over demanding. Sorry you met up with one of those types.
Are you gonna carry an extra stator and valve cover gasket for your Triumph?

I'm sure there is something I'll have to carry. Thx

Looks like a real nice motorcycle Charlie. Them Triumphs are really starting to grow on me. It looks like you can get a good deal on them too. They fit in at GSR rallys too, there were a few at the Brown County Rally👍
