Street Triple a perfect fit?

[gradus]

To carry stuff, get a Kreiga tailbag or Ventura rack and your golden.  This is a bike that will have you finding ways to extend your rides and always leave you giggling.

The Kreiga tailbag looks like the way to go.  The US40 holds more than the hard bags on my VFR.  The multi component approach of the US40 (US20+ the 2 US10 bags) make it easy to take a smaller bag too.    

Actually, as someone who recently quit the habit as well, it is quite healthy.  Anything that forces you to cut ciggys out of your life is a probably a good thing (unless it's crack or something).  

I've found that the 1st 8 days have been pretty easy.  Substituting one obsession (smoking) with another obsession as an incentive (Street Triple) has made it easy to divert my attention.  Not even chewing as much nicotine gum as my previous unsuccessful attempts.

I did the deed and now own a new 2010 Matte Blazing Orange.  Dealership in Daytona is dumping inventory to while already taking delivery of the 2012 models.  Will look exactly like this with the accessories I'm buying.

Woooot!  Big congrats Gradus!   Were there any incentives on the accessories?

Congrats  

Glad to see you got a "Classic" Street Triple

Woooot!  Big congrats Gradus!   Were there any incentives on the accessories?  

I was able to get 10% off of the accessories, which they said this dealer (BMW, Ducati, Triumph M/C of Daytona) rarely provides.  Given the discounted price on the bike, they said there was no chance in hell of the 20% I was asking.  The OTD price was $8,593.50.  I'll have title and tax to pay in NC.  I can go pick it up, have it delivered or will have a semi-retired friend who is glad to have the job.  

(over analyzing side steps in)  It's a great deal relative to other 2010 leftovers.  But really only $1000 less than the new 2012's after tax, tag and dealing with picking it up.  The important part is that this is exactly what I wanted, paid in full, and I'm happy with the deal!

that's a fucking steal for that bike

I may have been misleading - that OTD price is before accessories.  You likely already figured that part.  

The bike popped up on Ebay with a buy it now MSRP of $7995.  Jumped all over it.

I thought it included the accessories
