Well, it happened, my friends. Rode the new Speedmaster home yesterday after trading in my DLX with mixed emotions. Hard to see it go, but too excited about being back on a Triumph again to let it stop me in the end. I blame (give thanks to) Stichill for this whole thing...had he not posted the first press photo here months ago, I'm not sure this would have ever happened.
I rode this beauty home yesterday. Quite a different experience from the ultra-refined almost electric bike feel of the DLX. In comparison, it rumbles and shakes and roars like some primitive beast (no need to even think about after-market pipes on this thing), yet handles beautifully and the ergos are more suitable for me than I was ever able to get the DLX to.
I plan to stick around on this forum of course, and hopefully hit the West Coast rally again this year. This is a fine group of folks here and y'all haven't seen or heard the last of me.
