Went to the DC Show today. 9 Bucks got me into the door, saw some nice bikes, travis pastrana, and even got a knee down.
I took a million pictures, a few are below.
I don't care for custom 'busas at all, but this one is pretty slick.

Yeah the busas logo was backlit, kinda cool. Oh man triumph was one of the first stands i looked for. They had a real small display and the bikes were lined up so tight i couldnt get a good shot. But i did sit on the triple and it is short feeling! thing must be a wheelie monster. But agreed that the triple is one of the best looking factory bikes out there. i love the look of that bike.
great pics! thanks for sharing! I missied NY motorcycle show this year... :(

Thanks for the reply.
Ya, the street AND speed triples feel like a scooter when you sit on them. They are tiny, especially the street. I haven't ridden one, but 4 owners I talked to said they were very torquey. One did say 'wheelie monster' without provocation. ;)
Thanks again for the pictures.
Nice pics Nick! I didn't get a chance to go, but I'll be at the next one.
Looks like you have a thing for the Italian bikes...I got my eye on an 848, but it'll be a looong time before I'll have the cash to drop on that one :cry:
The Speed Triple is nice too. I took a test ride on one at a local dealer last year and it was so nice. It was as comfortable as the GS as far as riding position, but the power was insane compared to my bike :laugh: I think they'll have another open house this spring - if you're interested I'll give you a heads up :cheers:
