It'll do a hundred and ten miles per hour. By the time I'm done with the mods it'll probably do like a buck 15.

Very true statement!

You can get just as dead doing 35 as you can doing 80.

ETA: OP that triple is probably one of my favorite bikes ever produced. It is fantastic! One day I will own a triple and a FJR1300.

I don't.

I got the Silverwing for $1500 off of Craiglist.

This is what it looked like before:

Baking unloved in the sun, spiderwebs and dusty with some janky ass stereo stuck on it.

Ripped all that janky shit off, changed all the fluids (Mobil 1 4T, K&N oil filter, K&N air filter, Castrol synth DOT4 brake fluid, Mobil 1 gear oil) now it's waxed, polished, and about to get some Michelin Pilot Pure SC's on it:

This is a more leisurely ride, not "Got to pay attention hundred percent or I'm going to die" kind of ride.

It's fun to just twist the throttle and go, be able to look around, having your feet extended.

Definitely a different vibe from the Triumph.
