As you may remember, my 6 month old modified Street had an altercation with a woman who didn't know how roundabouts worked, or that she had to stick around after she had run someone and their bike over. It left the bike with 3.5k worth of damage, 3 months later it is back, polished and pristine again. She is in very, very rude health.

Aye, careless driving, failure to report an accident and quite possibly being a total cunt.

Vey happy to be back on it again. Very few bikes are so hooligan orientated as a Street Triple.

Arrow is all good, but Ktech is the main expense on this thing. To replace those front forks would set me back about 2.5k. Thank christ for E-bay eh? Laughing

Ze baffle is not removeable. I guess I could get it out, but it would require chopping the can up to do.

Great looking bike. Love the sproket and chain. Need to change mine soon and I think I'll be going with supersprox too. What chain have you got on it?
