SOMETIMES
ALL YOU NEED
IS A BRITISH
TWIN AND
NOTHING TO
DO FOR AN
AFTERNOON
L
et's face it: 2020 has been nothing
short of a feces-fueled dumpster
fire. It has continually thrown us
into disarray—businesses and lives have
been ruined, a continual state of fear is
perpetuated by those in authority, and
we're almost always exposed to the
worst humanity has to offer.
What 2020 has also done is highlight
the things and people that really matter.
For me, that's my family and the peace
I find when I strap my helmet on and
simply go for a ride, with no motive
other than to get away from it all.
Simplicity is thus extremely important
to me, which is where this week's test
bike of the Triumph Street Twin comes
in. The Triumph is by no means a simple
bike—it's a modern machine with all
the complexities that go with it—but the
aurora it exudes is simple.
Just get on and ride.
