Default Took the triple up in the mountains today... (BWW)

Verdict thus far: Power=awesome, seating position=comfortable, handling=just right for street use, seat=in need of improvement.

Beautiful day, here are a few pics:

Default I thought is was out West. With all those trails out there, you might

want to consider a Motard or an Enduro.

Default shhh...my wallet might hear you :)

if I only had the $$$ I'd have a slew of bikes out here. Had to settle on one that did most of what I wanted.

I think I'll try a Sargent seat in hopes of improvement. My big complaint is a bulge right where my boys are that gets old after 20 miles.

Next bike will probably be something like a BMW GS or Aprilia/Duc/KTM motard.

Default Thanks! Used to live in Central PA and was able to find some great roads around there.

When I wasn't getting harassed by Harley guys :P (nothing against them, they didn't seem to like italian bikes).

Anywhere on 2 wheels is better than 4 when the sun is out and the road is clear.

Default I'm with you, a bike for every day and then some! The KTM is definitely

my next bike. As far as uncomfortable seats, I hear that too, an hour ride on my 954RR(especially with my fiancé on the back) and my nuts are Screaming!

Default I agree, 2 wheels are always better! And there are some good roads around here...

...just not as scenic as yours, IMO.

Default I was out there last week ---

Boulder to Nederland to Golden to Castle Rock to Colorado Springs. If you get up to Nederland, Bears Brothers Bistro is not to be missed.

Unfortunately, I was in a rented Chevy Suburban - my Thunderbird Sport would have been a lot more fun.
