NCS Bike of the Year Named!
And its from 2007?
This picture kind of explains it all... the bike, my passion for motorcycling, and even a little about NCSportbikes. First of all, let's talk about the bike, seeing as how it did win BOTY. I've been riding for 14 years, and well over 100k miles, and to me, the Triumph Speed Triple should be pictured in the dictionary under the word motorcycle. The Speed Triple defines what motorcycles are all about. I've owned my Speed Triple for a little over 3 years now, and I still grin from ear to ear just looking at her, much less what my face looks like after an exhilarating ride on her. She's the ultimate hooligan machine for tear'n it up on your local backroads, yet refined and classy enough to cruise up to your local NCS bike night. That's the reason I've spent even more time and money on her making it even more unique to me. Believe it or not, I'm not thru with her yet, as I still intend on a custom urban camo paint job on her one of these days. I believe that will complete the hooligan look.
As far as I'm concerned, this picture explains what motorcycling is all about for me. A good piece of pavement like that, and Speedy underneath me, and all of my worries just get washed away. Of course, I feel like I become one with the bike, so much so, that it's almost as if I'm one with the road itself, that's how nicely Speedy flows on a good stretch of twisty pavement. I've yet to experience any better way to enjoy a nice sunny day than to get out on my bike and ride thru the country side. The views, the air, the feeling... it's hard to explain to someone that doesn't ride. It truly is the best feeling a human being can experience.
And what might that pic have to do with NCSportbikes you may ask? Well, believe it or not, as much as I enjoy a good ride thru the country side by myself, I enjoy it just as much(if not more) with others that share that same passion as me. Well, this pic was taken at the top of Highway 66 where I met a group of NCS'ers for the very first time. One week later, I joined up on this fine site hoping to meet others that share those same feelings I described. One year and a half later, I've made many friends and shared many rides with some great people here. Here's to another fine year of group rides, bike nights, and just hang'n out with some nice folks that you've met here at NCS, and good luck to all of you for BOTY 09.
