I traded my SV in for a 2012 Street Triple. Did the dirty deed this morning and rode it home. Got it from Staffordshire Triumph in Stoke. It's a really different riding experience from my SV , I really like it. The riding position helps you look much further ahead. Got to think of a daft name for her now. Pics to follow when the weather is better.

Well done, you'll love it. I love mine and she's called Tixey.

Last time someone asked for help naming their bike here it ended up being called Wahoospunkbubble.

nice one :-)

i dont name bikes and to me its a stupid idea giving something that is mechanical a name. thats like saying you name your tools such as calling a 10mm spanner Bert.... or calling your kitchen tap Suzie.

I thought that tools were generally named b*****d, big b*****d or knuckle-scraper?

Another natural progression to a trumpet :)

I do name some of my tools...
Stan-Stanley knife
Beverly- sliding bevel
Lumpy-lump hammer
There's loads of others too I can't think of right now.

What about Stiple for your Triumph Street Triple (see what I did there)

A Stanley knife should always be called Stan!

BTW, my tools have various names, depending on how bad I scrape my knuckles whilst using them LOL
