Speed Triple 2 up England - Pyrenees
Last August Carol and I did 2100 miles on a trip from the north of England to the French Pyreness. Nothing was booked apart from the ferries. We just stopped where and when we fancied and found a B&B or a hotel.
There isn't a rear carrier available for the Speed Triple so I made my own from an old Renntec. A grinder and a mate's welder and hey presto!
The only other mod was to replace the standard ironing board with a custom gel seat.
No bike or comfort problems.
Having had a Honda Blackbird for 8 years, the Speed Triple has been a revelation and put the fun back into biking. It is so light and agile. Far better than the Bird when the countryside gets lumpy.
Would thoroughly recommend the new Speed Triple as a two up tourer.
Take care all.
