Editor’s two-wheeler treasure: Triumph Street Triple

Editor’s two-wheeler treasure: Triumph Street Triple
New streets, old headlights

Imminent danger: a lane change, a fall, and your favorite vehicle is suddenly ready for battle. A new Street Triple would be easy to find, but then the wonderful round headlights and the classic Triumph logo fell by the wayside. It’s good that there are creative dealers for such cases.

The last day of triumph Street Triple begins with a picture book start. A golden October morning, the air is slightly iced but clear. Daughter Johanna looks out the window for a moment, pokes her nose out of the door and then goes to the cloakroom to decide on her favorite red and black fleece from the Isle of Man. So it’s clear what’s next: “Dad, are you taking me to kindergarten today with my mom’s motorcycle?” The question form is actually superfluous, to understand the whole thing more as an instruction.

We push the Triumph out of the garage. The fork shines with the autumn leaves in the driveway, the sunlight sparkles in the chrome-plated round headlights. “Visor open or close?”, I ask for the sake of completeness, although the answer is clear here too: “Let up so I can hear better.” The feeling for noises has to be stored somewhere in the gene pool by now. Every press of the start button throws me back a little eternity: the ride on the first Speed ​​Triple almost two decades ago, back then as a very young intern. An absolutely rainy, but brilliant weekend on small Eifel roads. This inimitable triumph sound was still very fresh in the scene at the time, but has not lost any of its power over the years. It is as if your favorite song was playing on the radio with your first coffee in the morning. It calms down and turns on at the same time. The Street Triple skilfully continues the personal feeling. Furthermore, with a beguiling soundscape, paired with wonderfully easy handling and harmonious lines.

The young passenger throws the triple on, slides backwards on the bench and puts the boots safely on the pegs. The triple chirps through the residential area at 30 km / h. Behind me, Johanna is babbling with the exhaust bags. Three minutes later we roll out in front of kindergarten. Of course, it is also clear which comment comes from behind: “That was way too short”, states the six-year-old damn dry and lets in “Tomorrow again!” consequences.

An hour later, the desire to have children is over. The Stuttgart rush hour slowly pushes past the Street Triple. The autumn sun mercilessly illuminates every cruel detail: the headlights dangle from the supply line like kinked flowers, the speedometer housing blown open, the handlebars bent, the foam oozes out of the torn seat bench. It’s good that my colleague Froberg has already responded to the emergency call and has brought the editorial sprinter into position on the traffic island in order to salvage the wounded triumph. Disillusioned, I sit in penitence on one of the tree-trunk-thick, red cuboids that an artist has apparently scattered willlessly on the green spaces of Stuttgart’s main artery. Blue lights flickering around me from various emergency vehicles and a woman in her late forties in tears who triggered the handstand rollover with Streety by changing lanes right in front of my nose.

The accident log wants to know a perceived amount of damage. Rainer and I roughly estimate: the engine is running, the frame is undamaged, the tank is not dented. “Could amount to 3,000 euros”, I hear myself say Not counting the mental damage – after all, the purchase was a big birthday wish from the best half and was also intended to console the loss of the Honda XBR 500 S, which was passed on to colleague Robert Gluck from sister magazine PS with a handshake.

However, the expert calculates the accident situation a little differently, knows of the correct prices (1000 euros for the cockpit unit alone) and draws the line exactly 50 euros above the former price of the 2008 model. That makes you swallow hard. Insurance German knows the concept of integrity interest for such cases: That would mean that the Street Triple, which is so valued in the family, could be rebuilt – like new!

On the other hand, it would remain tainted with the stigma of being an accident motorcycle for all time. “Where is the problem?”, The robust voice of the body-and-stomach dealer Ingo Heller from St. Michaelisdonn booms over the phone. “I happen to have a 2012 demonstrator standing here. In white. That would make you look better with your wife again!” My objection to the wrong headlight constellation (“they are square and made of plastic”) is immediately brushed off 785 kilometers further north: “Coincidentally I still have a set of headlights in round chrome from a 2011 lying around. The holder would have to fit. Wait a moment …” It rustles and creaks through the line: “Flawless. Is as good as screwed!” But there is still a central objection: “Ingo, the new lettering on the tank doesn’t work at all. I want the old Triumph logo with the classic underlay!” – “Coincidentally, there is still a complete set of lacquer on my shelf. With an undercut and in white. Once a customer ordered a replacement for his green Street Triple. Now he drives a Harley.”

The causal connection does not reveal itself, but everything else sounds conclusive. A year later, I’ll provide the “old” Street Triple back in the middle of the Pragsattel for the photo. Blue light flashes again: “Oh, you just take a picture? That looks good!” Tomorrow it should be sunny. I think Johanna wants to be brought back…
