Newbie :)

Post by ThrottleThrasher »

Hi everyone! My name is Aleks and I'm 30 and based in Exeter. I'm a proud rider of a Triumph Street Triple R (photo hopefully attached)and I absolutely love hitting the roads for a good ride. I'm always looking for an opportunity to meet new people and make connections with fellow riders. It's great to be a part of this community and I'm looking forward to participating in some discussions and learning from all of you. Cheers!

Hey there Aleks, give it a couple of years and you'll be able to reach the pegs on that trumpet.

Welcome to the forum, jump on in and get yourself on a rideout.

I do feel like a toddler on it since my suspension has now been set up properly 🤣 learning curve

Hey Alex. Welcome to SWB

Triumphs are great bikes and the Street Triples are great.

Many of our ride outs start from Exeter so give it a month or so and we should have around 1 a week for you to join should you wish to do so.

Hope to catch you on a ride out some time soon.
Road Bike = BMW F900R SE (2020)
