Got a new ride

No Worries · 08-10-2015, 01:59 PM

Got a 2004 Triumph Sprint 955RS off of craigslist. It was Triumph's answer to Honda's VFR 800. So I've joined the 21st Century. I'll post pictures when I get a new host. My GoPro has a handlebar mount, but the Triumph has clip-ons. So I mounted it on the passenger peg looking backwards. I was coming down Lookout Mountain yesterday and saw two sportbikes. I asked if they wanted to be in my video and they said yes. Here it is: [yt]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlAkLKafT8E[/yt]

Glad to see you're still at it...

Now where's the pics of your new steed?

You're gonna love that engine! It's the same as in my Tiger but, with more peak HP. Torque for days and a great sound! My Tiger is a fat pig but, it'll yank the front end sky-high just off the throttle in 1st so, yours should in at least a couple of gears! Oh, in case you're concerned about it, don't worry about that popping on deceleration. It's a Triumph triple thang!

It's a small world. Two years ago, I videotaped a rider on a Triumph Speed Triple going up Lookout Mountain, while I had the camera mounted on my handlebar. On Friday, I was on top of Lookout Mountain and I met the same rider. So I videotaped him going down the mountain from my new Triumph Sprint: [yt]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baBbC3FL35k[/yt]
Here's the video from two years ago:[yt]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjne6FFDzZk[/yt]
I kind of like the view looking backwards.

Now that I have a modern bike (2004 Triumph Sprint 955RS), I don't have to wear my tinted visor. Met some new riders and joined more riding groups. Here's a video of my friend Maz's Yamaha R6 taken from the passenger's peg of my Triumph: [yt]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7gMEhdz_2c[/yt]
