My Triumph Trident 800

This is my first motorbike. I'd been curious about riding for a while, but the thing that finally got me to do it was that my girlfriend rides too, so getting a bike of my own meant we could go out on rides together instead of always taking the car.

I looked at a few different models before deciding. In the end I went with the Triumph Trident 800. I liked the way it looks, and I wanted something powerful enough not to be boring, but not expensive enough so that I would be afraid of dropping it all the time.

So far I've been using it mostly for weekend rides and touring. At the moment of this writing (July 16th 2026) I just finished the break-in period and I have an appointment to take it back to the dealer for the post break-in service.

These are some photos of the bike.
