Sofia Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 My current bike is a 2018 Speed Triple R, Dark Edition, Its a special edition done by 8 Ball for Triumph. It didnt really sell because the cot for the paint job was high, so I got lucky and bought it when everyone was buying the 2019 RS model for an excellent price from Jack Liileys. Its the 4th Speed Triple I have had, all from JL. To be fair I would have happily stayed with number one, that was my favourite, if it hadn't been stolen... So, originally bought in England, went to Germany and is now in Portgal. Ocasionally gets the company of the Mamoth and its little and large! And in Portugal keeps going inadvertadly off-road... On those ocasions I swear a lot and remember my childhood horse riding days!! I will try to put a video when at 1500 meters high the road was fit for GSs, not Pirelli Supercorse and MotoGP Ohlins.... 10CPRO190901-130821.MP4 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I dont know, I did go to the top, this was just a little breather before going further up. I wont put the video of this one because there was some severe swearing! And a lot of bucking!!

Pedro Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Sofia isn't getting the jokes, Bruce, she doesn't know XTreme (or Pete) is very much into keeping his bikes very clean. Her Triumph is often filthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I beg to differ. Anybody who can get a short wheel based street fighter up there has some dual sport talents. Expand It was totally not my choice, I can tell you! One day I will show the video, I was properlly pissed off!! The road was gone... Happens a lot around here. According to Pedro I should turn around... I dont believing in going back!

The fact that you can do it on a speed triple is just amazing. Kudos. You wouldnt catch me taking that gradient on a dirt road and ST. That's gutsy Expand My bike has been re-named Offroad Speed Triple! Its really the tyres that are almost slicks and make it extra spicy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
