Triumph Street Triple

My brother in law’s new Triumph Speed Triple.

I took it out for a ride around Auckland and got lost in Panmure. See route below
A very nice ride, nice low down torque and gets up and dances nicely at higher revs.
Comfortable riding position, easy to get use to and has a very nice sounding exhaust note throughout the rev range.

Featured in the UK SuperBike magazine The Ten Best Bikes of 2008 from June 2008

Just a little walk around to a bit of “P.O.D – Boom” – I should of got the dash and other bits, but you get the gist of how sharp this thing looks.

This is the route I took when I took it out to the best of my memory. My brother in law has a much better route planned out for me for my next ride

Siamese twins walk into a pub in Ontario and park themselves on a bar stool.

One of them says to the innkeeper, "Don’t mind us, we’re joined at the hip. I’m Joe, he’s Jim, we’ll have two Molson Canadian beers, draft please"

The innkeeper, feeling slightly awkward, tries to make polite conversation while pouring the beers.

"Been on holiday yet, boys?"

"Off to England next month," says Joe. "We go to England every year and hire a car and drive for miles, don’t we, Jim?"

Jim agrees.

"Ah, England, "says the innkeeper." Wonderful country…
the history, the beer, the culture…"

"Nah, we don’t like that British crap," says Joe.
"Hamburgers & Molson’s beer, that’s us, eh Jim? And we can’t stand the English – they’re arrogant and rude.’

"So why keep going to England?" asks the innkeeper.

Joe replies, "It’s the only chance Jim gets to drive."

Mick suggests. They arrive at the bus depot and Mick tells Paddy to go in and get a bus while he keeps a look-out.
After shuffling around for ages, Mick shouts, ‘Paddy, what are you doing? Have you not found one yet?’ Paddy shouts back, ‘I cant find a No. 91′ ‘Oh Jeysus, ye thick sod, take the No. 14 and we’ll walk from the roundabout.

An oldie but a goodie from Roxanne One day an Irishman, who had been stranded on a deserted island for over 10 years, saw a speck on the horizon.

He thought to himself, ‘It’s certainly not a ship.’ As the speck got closer and closer, he began to rule out even the possibilities of a small boat or a raft. Suddenly there strode from the surf a figure in a black wet suit.

Putting aside the scuba tanks and mask and zipping down the top of the wet suit stood a drop-dead gorgeous blonde! She walked up to the stunned Irishman and said to him, ‘Tell me, how long has it been since you’ve had a good cigar?’

‘Ten years’ replied the amazed Irishman. With that, she reached over and unzipped a waterproof pocket on the left sleeve of her wet suit and pulled out a fresh package of cigars and a lighter.

He took a cigar, slowly lit it, and took a long drag.
‘Faith and begorrah,’ said the castaway, ‘that is so good!
I’d almost forgotten how great a smoke can be!’

‘And how long has it been since you’ve had a drop of good Bushmill’s Irish Whiskey?’ asked the blonde. Trembling, the castaway replied, ‘Ten years.’

Hearing that, the blonde reached over to her right sleeve, unzipped a pocket there and removed a flask and handed it to him. He opened the flask and took a long drink. ‘

‘Tis nectar of the gods!’ shouted the Irishman. ‘ ‘Tis truly fantastic!!!’

At this point the gorgeous blonde started to slowly unzip the long front of her wet suit, right down the middle. She looked at the trembling man and asked, ‘And how long has it been since you played around?’

With tears in his eyes, the Irishman fell to his knees and sobbed, Don’t tell me that you’ve got golf clubs in there too!’

One day a man comes home from work to find total mayhem at home. The kids were outside still in their pajamas playing in the mud and muck. There were empty food boxes and wrappers all around. As he proceeded into the house, he found an even bigger mess. Dishes on the counter, dog food spilled on the floor. The family room was strewn with toys and various items of clothing, and a lamp had been knocked over.

He headed up the stairs, stepping over toys, to look for his wife. He was becoming worried that she may be ill, or that something had happened to her.

He found her in the bedroom, still in bed with her pajamas on, reading a book.

She looked up at him, smiled, and asked how his day went. He looked at her bewildered and asked, “What happened here today?”

She answered, “You know everyday when you come home from work and ask me what I did today?”

“Yes,”

“Well, today I didn’t do it!”

The motorist is a bit perplexed, but reckons there’s no harm in it letting the man try – it might be worth a laugh. The passer-by turns his bum to the car and slowly rubs it up and down the driver’s door. Suddenly, the lock opens and the passer-by turns and opens the car door.

“That’s amazing!” says the motorist, “How did you do it?” “It’s easy” replies the pedestrian,……………………. “I’m wearing khaki trousers”

“Some parents,” she said, “tell the older child, ‘We love you so much we decided to bring another child into this family.’ But think about that. Ladies, what would you say if your hus- band came home one day and said, ‘Honey, I love you so much I decided to bring home another wife.’”

One of the women spoke up immediately. “Does she cook?”
