Demo Days at GP

No, I get "the look" when I use the good household vacuum in the garage.

Oh I'm intimately familiar with "the look"...

Used her sauce pot *once* - just ONCE - to warm up the grips so they're easier to get on over the handlebars and it's like daggers from the eyes piercing my soul...

You are always welcome for a test ride

I appreciate it, man, but that might be dangerous. I could end up falling in love with your bike. I have a soft spot for the yellow 765, with the red one coming in a close second.

How was the Street Triple at slow speeds. E.g slowly moving on from a stop or in slow moving traffic etc. I always thought the 3cylinder engine would be a lot more smoother than an L Twin.

It was super smooth. You could barely feel any vibrations at all. That is the first thing I noticed going back to the Multi; as soon as I turned it on, I could feel it shaking.

That said, the turning radius is pretty poor for day-to-day riding compared to the Monster. I assume Triumph geared it more toward sporty riding than commuting.

I still think that those triple cylinder engines sounds amazing at all ranges.

I was pleasantly surprised by the stock exhaust note on the ST765. If I were to buy one, I'd probably leave the exhaust stock.

Spent a good 2-3 hours there and had a nice chat with the rep who was running the event after.

This was actually the third time I've spoken with him. He used to work at Pro6Cycle before they closed down. Somehow, he remembered me from our previous interaction there. We ended up having another pleasant 30-minute conversation.
