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

Alyssa Rattray’s Magic Trick

While in Auckland in the weekend, I just had to record our little niece Alyssa, doing her magic trick. So I compiled some clips I took on my digital camera, and threw in some music and voice of Alyssa, and bobs your uncle. Enjoy.
