It's been fun, but........
Things change. Time for me to quit be so crazy on the streets. To many of my comrades are going down. The dick waving contests are getting worse. I'm gonna go play on the track for a while and see how I like it. The ZX-14 has been a great bike for 19K miles but she is too heavy and turns too slow for what I want to do. Ya'll have fun and ride safe. I'll be getting my jollies on this...........

I've been doing the same, the street is alittle too crazy to be getting crazy. I did have a get off at the track 2 weeks ago but, the upside of this story is that I'm sitting here typing this & not in the hospital or a grave. 100mph hi side, I walked away with a sprained wrist & ankle. $600.00 fixed the bike so you'd never know it hit the tarmac. The street wouldn't have been as forgiving.
Good move!
Enjoy!

Best wishes on your new ride bro. You have to do what is best for you. It is nice we have so many choices out there.
The streets are getting worse and worse by the day. Cell phones, TV's in cars, ladies doing their make up, etc etc. I think being an experienced biker makes you a better driver in general. Just have to have eyes on all sides anymore.

That triumph is a SEXY bike for sure in my opinion it is hands down the best middleweight around I am weighting on them to make a 1050 daytona similarly styled with a hypertuned version of the speed triple motor and I will be trading one of the 10's for a triumph I am thinking of getting the wife that 675 daytona but I gotta find out if we can get it low enough for her...

Trucked alot all over Tx. I ve seen why you're doing what you're doing. Guess too much NASCAR in the car drivers down south..,I dunno.
I'm doing a track day thursday. On the 14
Thats the way it is until I breakdown and get a track only bike. (still shopping.)
Your Triumph is one bad scooter. Enjoy!!!!!!!!!
I'm just envious, I'm priced into a used gixxer 750 or 636
