Dave Peterson
Age: 45
Year: 2006
Miles Done: 7,400
Mods: Custom fender eliminator, frame sliders, Triumph Fat black handlebars and bar-end mirrors, Snake Skin tank pads, ported/polished and ceramic-coated header, MiVV GP carbon fiber silencer, Tuneboy custom tune, K&N air filter, SAI removed, Pazzo levers, Rizoma brake reservoir, Triumph hub covers, black powdercoating
Best Upgrade:"Has to be my exhaust with the custom tune. It really woke the bike up all through the rev range, eliminated close to 20 pounds, makes it look even more badass and it sounds like a giant pissed-off alien robot."
Favorite Aspect:"I think a lot might say the flat torque curve, or the comfy riding position coupled with great handling, or the sexy, badass look of the bike. I'll just say the bike has soul."

Miles Done: 13,700
Mods: Woodcraft 52mm clip-ons,
Best Upgrade: "Woodcraft clip-ons. I'm one of the rare Speed Triple owners that still likes the sportbike seating position. I feel that it's much easier for me to handle on the track."
Favorite Aspect: "The torque of the Speed Triple provides great pull out of corners. I can ride the Speed Triple 60 miles round trip to work every day, then put it on the Jennings GP road course and be very comfortable and capable in either place."

Year: 2007
Miles Done: 9,300
Mods: K&N air filter, Vortex clip-ons, bar-end mirrors, rim accent tape, M4 GP exhaust, Garmin GPS, XM radio
Best Upgrade: "I'd have to say the exhaust, it sounds sweet."
Favorite Aspect: "Nothing fancy on this bike...just aggressive goodness! Low end of a twin and the top end of a 4 banger! Fairings are for sissies! Not to mention it's a wheelie monster! Euro Styling! Hell, what's not to like?"
Christopher Liston
Age: 33
Year: 2008
Miles Done: 3,000
Mods: Arrow exhaust, Triumph bar-end mirrors, seat cowl, belly pan, Ermax fender eliminator, Clear Alternatives Daytona 675 integrated taillight
Best Upgrade: "It would have to be the exhaust-- the sound and the increased power are great."
Favorite Aspect: "The big grin every time I ride and it's nice to know I'm not going to see another one at every bike stop."
