Dear NBR,
I had my Street Triple stolen early in the summer of 2012. I took the money and picked up a great-condition caspian blue Thruxton that I had wanted ever since I first got my Bonneville many, many years ago. Over a year later (i.e. earlier this summer) I was on Route 2 near Greenfield in Western Mass and saw a guy on a Streetie--two-up with a top box--and it just looked so right. Even though my buddy (who I was camping with that weekend) tells me I'm just having a bout with grass-is-greener syndrome, I'm still having adulterous thoughts about my old flame. Unfortunately. "swinging" really isn't an option because I don't have the space or funds for both.
Do I assume that the grass is always greener and just be happy with the classic looks/sounds of my bike, or should I give into the urge to be with a modern bike (with tubeless wheels) that I won't constantly be trying to upgrade with new bits and baubles.
Signed,
Maybe The Grass Isn't Greener
