Here's the ride I had that I should have kept.

I sold it six years ago and been missing it ever since. Great in the twisties and when the piped Triumph triple was at full song.

Nice bikes guys.

Kevin, I thought about getting a Speed Triple instead of the Duc. The decision was very tough as I really like the last of the round eye bikes. The deciding factor for me was the weight. However, I think I need to go ride a Speed Triple one of these days just to know what it's like. I may like it more.

Trey, That would be a hard decision.

When I was in the Detroit area, the Triumph dealership near me added the Ducati line to his Triumph, KTM and Gas Gas lineup. He would have open house days where you could ride either Triumph and/ or Ducati. I had a chance to ride the speed triple but the Ducati sign up was so long I didn't get a chance to ride the Monsters.

The owner also had a turboed speed triple. What a ride that must have been.

Another bike pic. My previous bike in the foreground fresh from the showroom - buddy's R1 in the background. That was a fun summer.
