Triumph Speed Triple hiding in France (er first post in here btw)

Whilst touring Quimper taking the usual urban / catherdral shots I spotted this beastie hiding down a back alley, put a smile on my face seeing an English brute sitting quietly on a paddock stand down a French back street.

Comments?

I like the fact that you can tell it's a Triumph parked in a French alley from the photo without needing background info. Nice catch.

the way most people will see the ST is just like that, only not on a stand.

just to be american, what is that post in the lower right hand corner?

Indeed Vic :)

As for that post - your guess is as good as mine, they appear around Quimper but haven't seen many off them in other French towns/cities.

Here's another shot further down another street showing more of them, I presume they're simply a boundry line to stop cars/bikes parking etc.

Cheers :) Next stop on our travels is a bikers campsite in France for a few months so hopefully plenty more powered vehicle photos to come!
