The weapon of choice. A Triumph Sprint ST. It's a 1999 model, so pretty old by American standards (Europeans tend to keep their motorcycles much longer) but in perfect shape. It has 24K miles on it right now.
To make it more confortable for long rides, it is equiped with a Ohlins rear shock, Race-Tech fork emulators, Gen-Mar bar risers, a Corbin seat, laminar lip, and EBC front disc rotors (not yet installed on this photo). Otherwise, it's stock. It has little additional PIAA lights under the front fairing that you can see in the picture. They're very useful to spot deers in the woods when riding at night (see later post...)
