Get Over The Headlights....The New Speed Triple is Awesome!
On October 13, 2011
Since its inception in 1994, the Speed Triple has been revered as the pinnacle of naked sport bikes. Itʼs this bike that coined the term ʻstreetfighterʼ to describe fairing-less sport bikes. The Speed Triple has had the perfect formula from day one: massive amounts of torque, steep, flick-able steering, amazing brakes and bare knuckled looks. This recipe has made the SpeedTriple a great seller for Triumph the past fifteen plus years. So when news came that Triumph was going to be making an ʻall newʼ Speed for 2011, everyone was excited, albeit nervous.

Tech Talk: What's a Dyno?
On May 26, 2011
What is a Dyno?
Short for Dynamometer, a dyno is any device used for measuring force and power. Dynos can work in very different ways, but TTRNO’s Dynojet Dynamometer determines horsepower (HP) by calculating a motorcycle’s rate of acceleration as the motorcycle’s rear wheel spins a 500 lb roller. After the HP of the motorcycle has been determined, the dyno’s computer can measure the RPM of the engine and use the equation, HP = (torque x engine RPM)/5252, to determine the torque.

It is time to get YOU on the track!
On April 20, 2011
We talk a lot about track days, and there are quite a few people who ask us, "what are track days all about?". Track days are like any other motorcycle or scooter event that brings people together around one common interest, enjoying bikes!
One common misconception is that track days are races. Well they are not.... Track days are the opportunity to ride a motorcycle in a controlled environment. It allows you to let go of all of the worries of cars not paying attention to you, or speed traps and redlight cameras while you improve your riding techiques. Imagine being able to ride your bike like it was designed to be ridden.
