Yeah thats pretty much all I gotta say, kinda random but whatever.

Pic is kinda random too, taken Sat. night @ the drive-in, home boy's RSV next to her - Lara & April in the pic, nobody seems to get either one.

Seriously no one responds to random threads here?

This is wayyyyy different than the Honda and Mustang boards. Yes, I own a '00 Si, at least until Saturday (

payments too much for me with bike and wedding to pay for) and two Mustangs, and yes they get along fine, kinda fits my bi-polar tendencies (you think I'm joking, ha).
Anyway, I kinda started this as a wicked random type whatever you want thread. btw, the title was edited for content, sorry about that I may have been slightly under the influence at the time of typing it, live n learn.

The red 675 is definitely an awesome machine! It's great to have a motorcycle that you're really happy with, both owning it and riding it. I'd love a Daytona too. Brilliant machines!

What's not to like? The 675 is probably the most fun bike I've ridden. It tends to get me jacked up after a spirited ride and makes me feel that 37 years of riding motorcycles has brought me to this point of oneness.
Oh, this forum isn't real big on chatter. It tends to stick to enjoyment of the bike and sharing info. You'll feel right at home!

My previous 2 bikes have been Italian and I put the lower activity on this site down to the fact that there isn't so many 'issues' with the Triumphs as the Italian bikes. The latter always have an owner with a problem somewhere! Gives us more time to just ride and enjoy them

Good point. Lots of chatter on the Sport Classic site and TONS of yak on the Twins site here. The 675's require nothing to make them great road or track bikes.

Its weird how different it is, 99% of the Honda board is "yo yo, i smoked a old lady in V6 Mustang going 45 down the highway with my turbo crx." The Mustang boards are mostly "blah blah blah ricers" and "so I went to the track and broke..."

exactly.
