What, something like this?:

Love the thought of a 1050 Speed Triple, but could I use all that extra power on the road?...  No.  Of course not!
That's it. Already have a BMW GS and a Kawasaki Versys so don't really need any more bikes or Scooters.  My dual sports are only 650's but are to heavy for any serious trail riding, more suited for gravel roads.  Had a couple of Honda XR's that I use to take trail riding in the mountains of Colorado, much narrower and a lot lighter but not street legal.

Nice bike Neil. My neighbour has one of those - or at least he did have a few days ago. He changes bikes like I change underpants (quite frequently!)

......saying that, I think I see a bright orange (ugh!) new KTM thing across the road. The Triumph must have needed new tyres or something.

I know people like that, we have a guy on Romeo rides that shows up on a new bike what seems like every other week.  I tend to ride the Scooters to the rides because they are so dang comfortable on trips. I might ride a different scooter but far from new.

Nope, the only changes folks see from me is whether I'm on the Kymco or the Triumph.  Kept the last Triumph for near on 20 years...
