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]

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]
