Today we bid a fond farewell to my trusty Triumph. The boys at the shop tell me she is a total loss, no hope (well, any safe hope) for a working repair. I am hoping that the insurance money will cover a new Speed Triple, cause being between jobs means I will not be able to make up any gap between the insurance and the purchase price. Not to mention I need Vanson to repair my gear. I think I might have actually sniffled and maybe shed a tear when they told me. Perhaps my streetfighter days are over. 
Hope tjings better.... life is never over... until it actually is
