Returning member, new bike!

Heya team

A while ago I joined here, started with an mc17 cbr250r

Have had a few of em, sold up and bought a drz400sm, rode it for about a year, decided it wasn't me. Sold up, bought a yammy fz6r lams and put a fair whack of miles on it.

Finally passed my full license test, and now have a "real" bike

2013 triumph street triple R

My full license shortlist consisted of:
Daytona 675
Cbr600rr
R6
Street triple.

Found out very quickly that the crunched up seating position resulted in numb toes after about 10 mins riding, and total loss of feeling in feet and legs after about 30 mins on the 3 "sports" bikes, so I pulled the trigger on the street triple.

So far, loving it. Sounds phenominal, rides really nicely, very happy with the purchase.

Going to be spending some money with restorace motorcycles to get the suspension set up nicely for me, the bike has been well maintained but there's no documentation for it, so I'm probably going to have to rebuild / replace oil in the front shocks.

Saving money for a noisy exhaust, and I know it'll need the arrow exhaust tune flashed on to it.

Anyone got hookups for the tune? Or a "race bike" tune for the triple? Also, does anyone have an arrow muffler for the newer 675 street triples they don't want?

Good to be back, work has been hell lately lol

Buell 1125R throle stuck open

Ok scared the shit out of me but all ends well... however anyone else (noticed ther have been a few owners) had the large circlip that holds the plastic velocity stack molding in come out and jam the butterfly open?
If so is there a fix for the issue kinda dodgy or is it a once of situation

Bikes VStrom 1000 - Mike Hyde old bike is now for sale to right owner

Hi there.
This is the famous 'Twisting Throttle' VStrom that used to belong to Mike Hyde.

He rode this bike around Australia and the United States. Mike sadly left us a couple of years ago but his legacy lives on.

I have the bike, and have read his books, both witty and full of valuable information about Adventure riding....
Mike was a fantastic bloke!

was lucky to buy Mikes Vstrom a few years ago and wish to pass this on.
I have only ridden it back from the South Island and done a couple of short rides.
It is time to move it on and I do not want a huge amount for it, but as you can see there is an absolute load of spares and some fantastic luggage.

I have included the original link for the bike and will be shortly listing this on Trade me.
Mike was a fantastic character and this bike has had just the one owner - Mike, then myself.
I have done nothing to it other than purchased a new Motobatt, that's it!

The warrant and reg are on hold and if it gets a good offer I will happily put three months on it for the new owner.

Please feel free to PM me or call anytime 0272672340. The bike is located in Te Aroha
Any offers will be considered. Ready to ride and good for thousands of kilometres more.


This is the original ink and everything is just about the same as it was when I bought it.
There is some great information on here.....
