That picture could represent a single day-trip outside of Melbourne, Australia. Unlike North America with it's paved primary, secondary and rural roads, Australia's roads can vary from pavement to non paved roads going to your destination and they would still be considered primary/ main roads. Dust kicked up by vehicles and add a little moisture to the picture and voila a very dirty bike in probably less that a day. As for the headers, Triumph leads the way in using the materials it does that lead to oxidization and rust.

What is this word "clean" that you use? I am not familiar with it.

Come on.. she's pretty as she is! It's the inside that counts, remember?

Why the low muffler? Also are you using stock gearing? I don't plan to off road my StRiple but I've been intrigued by the Versys/Ninja dual sport conversions.

Thx...nlp

Stock gearing at the moment. Why the low muffler? I don't know. I liked it.

It's a rat bike. Mechanically speaking, it gets pampered. Cosmetically not so much.

I love the look people give when they see it the first time. I can read their minds: "what a piece of shit!!".

They'll usually think hard to find something nice on the bike to point out.. "Nice bar end mirrors"

Once they see and hear it doing its thing, they usually "get it". I'm not an awesome fast rider, but I get by ok.

Doesn't matter what bike you're on or what it looks like. You can't buy an adventurous spirit. I had to rat this bike up to enjoy it more. So I now piss myself laughing when stupid shit like this happens:

The striple is very capable offroad. Just needs more clearance and knobbies for the mud.

Roosting your mates, fishtailing up dirt roads, getting stuck in mud, ass puckering when you see a rock that could pierce your sump- all of that adds to the fun.

It's better to see a bike being ridden AND enjoyed as opposed to just leaving it in a garage.

My bike NEARLY got new bar end mirrors but I must have grabbed the wrong ones from Triumph because the screw they come with is too small to thread into the handle bars. They will be returned tomorrow.

I had heard that some of them sleep lying down.

I'm cross-posting, simply because I missed it from a few weeks back.

Potential free front Sportec M5 tire offer from Metzler. See my post on page 2 about the promotion period vs. available qty. I submitted my claim and now am just waiting for a reply.

Nice neyzen!:thumbsup: If I had the money, I'd like to get a wrecked Street Triple and put longer travel suspension on it and do logging roads/easy trails. Others will say "Why not just get a Tiger 800?". Two reasons.....I like the power delivery of the Street much better(the Tiger 800's is too soft imo) and it weights too much!

And in just a matter of minutes...:thumbsup:

Expecting the Metzler's to be provide good traction during the wet fall/winter.

That's what I thought until I read the terms and the promotion period is 9/30/13 or While Supplies Last. I just received a receipt from Metzler thanking me for my purchase. :thumbup:
