First big bike at 61 unique street triple

[Kiwi Rat]

G'day from across the Ditch in NZ from a 65 year old (err.... young)

What a great paint job and may you have many fun years on it!

Cheers,

Geoff

I think Rob is up there too. I turn 67 this month and have a 2012 Street Triple r with 2100 miles on it now. We ride year around in Texas. Best bike I've ever owned. I love the power, lighter weight, upright seat position, and lower seat ht. Black and Gold was my high school colors, so I went with that, but I too like the mat green. First one I've seen of that color.

Best wishes to Texas aj. We ride all year also, how lucky for us

Hi PjC

Good for you - hope you're enjoying it! See if you can get a tour of Peter Jackson's studios/Weta Workshop whilst you're in Wellington, I understand it's one heck of an experience! Pity you're not berthing near the Coromandel Peninsula or I'd shout you a beer or 3!

Love it.

Beautiful bike, have you been out riding it much?

[PjCliffo]

Can't ride it till January 10 when I get my full license. The wait is killing me!

Had the bike for 1 week now, awesome bike, amazing power. Having difficulty staying under the limits, it's a steep learning curve after my 20 yr old virago 400 cruiser, but enjoying every minute.
When I first rode it out of the dealers both legs were flapping like crazy trying to find the foot pegs! Amazing bike

You have quite a learning experience ahead. The power and the handling will amaze. Take it easy until you have complete control.

I was laughing at the image of your legs and feet trying to find the pegs!! I did the very same thing. The other one was putting the bike in first gear with the sidestand still down!

Hope you get that grin everytime you throw a leg over.. Ride safe..

That is a great bike! I would consider repainting mine to that color, but I'd cock it right up. Have a blast, man.!

Looks great. Love that colour. And yes, it can be dangerous to go to the store for a small item
