Other bikes?

How many of you Triumph Twin owners have other bikes? What are they?

I've got the Scrambler, and thoroughly enjoy it... My only other "bikes" are an ancient Cannondale 12-speed road bike and a Trek mountain bike.



I seriously enjoy riding my pedal-type bikes... But now that I'm back into motorcycles for the first time in a long while - I could sure see how a bigger bike for two-up touring could be great, along with a smaller, lighter single-cylinder dual-sport/enduro type bike... I'm not about to go out and buy another bike or two right away but... It could happen!

Here we go again! I love my 1971 Cb750. It's been original, it's been a cafe...now it's a chopper project. It's loud, it's fast and it scares children

My CB750 has to be my favorite bike I ever owned. I sold it with 28,000 miles on it and I still regret it. The first "Super bike".

I envy you Erik!!

I had a Honda Rebel 250 that I used as a trainer for about a year, sold it when the remaining potential trainees lost interest (one got a license, one dropped it, broke a collar bone, and decided to quit then, the others never followed through at all).

I wouldn't mind having another motorcycle, maybe a Street Triple, but it's hard to justify it financially, and it's that much more maintenance, insurance, etc.

My car mechanic has 28 motorcycles. He says that he has every motorcycle he's ever bought, including a gorgeous CNW Norton.

I have an old but good-condition Nashbar bicycle that I use on the local trails, which I thoroughly enjoy.

Other Motorcycle: '08 Street Triple (black)
Extra Motorcycle: '06 SuperScram 904 & more
My current bikes are in my profile, where they should be.

Past bikes I've had, that I still hold affection for, are in order
1. Laverda RGS 1000
2. Yamaha XJ 900
3. Honda CB 400/4
4. BMW R65
5. Yamaha XS 850
6. KTM 620
7. Suzuki DR 350

I've owned a half a dozen more, over the past 35 years.
But most of those I'd rather forget.
