Triumph Street Triple RX
I’m a massive fan of middleweight nakeds and I’ve ridden the rest so it’s now time to ride the best! The Triumph Street Triple is the class leader and I can’t wait to get out riding. With a trackday in France and riding holiday to Scotland planned it’s going to be an awesome summer.

I fear change. I can’t help it, it’s the way I am. As far as I’m concerned there’s no music better than that of Erasure circa 1986! If an outfit is clean I’ll carry on wearing it – and when choosing a...

I’m not a speed demon but I’ve found the Triumph Street Triple Rx to be the nippiest middleweight I’ve ridden. My previous fastest speed was just over an indicated 120mph on my Ducati Monster, but my...

What a beautiful building and fabulous view. I’m sat in the grounds of a windmill, set high on Mont De Watten – and I’m only 50 miles into my little French adventure. I’d been planning a solo trip to...
Long term update: Triumphant island return
31 July 2015 by
What a dramatic place to sit and have a cuppa. Sat on the cliffs at Niarbyl Bay on the Isle of Man, I can see why it’s been used as the backdrop for films and telly shows. For a few days I’ve been...

Long term update: We're off on an adventure

I’ll admit it, I’m a control freak who just loves lists, planning and knowing exactly what I’m doing and when I’m doing it. But I love the fact that bikes make me do impetuous things every now and...

As someone who grew up when Sony Walkmans were the most technologically advanced piece of kit you could wish for, I’m a bit of a technophobe – so the dash on my Triumph Street Triple Rx is very...

For a moment I can’t work out why the guy at the next petrol pump is staring at me. Then I remember that I’m dressed as a giant rabbit! I suppose I do look rather odd. It’s my first proper trip out on...
