New to the Street Triple forum? Post here to say "hi" so we can all get acquainted.

If you are also new to the bike itself and have what you might consider newbie questions, you might want to review the New Members Questions thread. (It also contains the first 10 months of new member introductions.) It is no longer open for new posts, but if you have questions that aren't answered there, the first post tells you how to get more information.

Just wanted to say hi to the forum members. I'm located near Ottawa, Canada where the snow has now turned to rain . . . .

I've always wanted a triple but never did get near to owning a Laverda (yes, I'm ancient). I chose as my avatar a picture of a seriously race-prepped Laverda Jota, circa 1981.

I have a couple of Ducatis in the stable right now and will likely ride them forever, but my dealership also sells Triumph. I can't pull the trigger until later this summer but that should give me enough time to lurk here and make the right personal decision: Speed triple or street triple.

If anyone has a link to previous discussions comparing these two remarkable bikes, I'd like to get on the learning curve. TIA!

Hello, everyone. I've been lurking for a few weeks, so it's about time I introduce myself. I live in northern VA, and plan to purchase a Street Triple R this week.

My last street bike was a Honda CBR600F4i. I sold it about 3 years ago. It was fun out in the mountains, but it didn't work for me around town or for commuting. I wanted something a bit more comfortable with more useable power in the lower RPMs. After reading so much about the Striple, I think this is the bike I've been waiting for.

I can't wait to get out & ride again!!

Hi everyone, been on here a week or so and thought i'd say hi. I'm originally from the Isle of Man in the UK but now reside in New South Wales in Oz with my BF.

I've just sold my bike (MV Agusta 750 Brutale) in the UK and now want to get a bike here. I rode a Street R about a month ago and loved it, fingers crossed i'll be owning one in the next month or so.

Meanwhile i'l just be lurking in the background reading peoples post and making my list of mods i'll be doing to the street.

I've been posting here for about 2 weeks, but just brought my new orange STripleR home yesterday. Love it so far!

I'm in Ottawa, Canada. I've have about 250K kms riding experience, and this is my 7th new streetbike (9 used ones too!) I've done a few longer trips, including 2 in Europe and recently a Western NA 22K kms trip. I believe in: Back Roads. Period.

Cheers,
Greg H.

Hi guys.

New Street Triple owner here. I've been browsing these boards for about three weeks and finally decided to make a post. Bought my black S3 about 2 weeks ago and I am loving it, it's so different compared to everything else out here in new jersey. Both the sound and the look of the bike are just amazing.

Look forward to chatting with you guys.

Hey all

I've made a couple of posts so far, but thought I'd introduce myself. I'm from Clinton, NC and my black ST3 is my first Triumph. I've owned it for a few months now, although I've not had as many opportunities to ride as I would have liked. Weather, mostly.

I love my bike. I've always liked Triumphs and their Triples, but never had one before. When I was looking for a new bike back in the fall, I saw the ST3 and fell for it right away. And I LOVE how people rubberneck at me as I go by. I've been riding most of my life, and this bike is the first one I've had that has drawn more than a glance from most other people.

Keep the shiny side up and betwixt the ditches, yall!
Will
