I have now officially come full circle! I recently sold my 11 speedy, it never fit me right, apparently they moved the pegs and bars back for 2011. Anyway I used to have a 2004 Green and silver America (my first Triumph) And I have owned 2 Speedies the 11 and an 07 mulberry red, both sold I found a 2005 America red and silver with only 460 miles! A 73 year old man bought it new and has not ridden it much, he did lay it down on the left side at the DMV trying to pass the exam. Bent the clutch lever and the shifter rod, that's all the damage, carbs may be gummed up or the gas has gone bad because it backfired slightly, but I plan on rejetting anyways.

I think I prefer the grey motors over the blacked out ones!
Any jet size recommendations for the FREAK and D&D slip ons.......

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Sweet ! You got a good buy there.Looks like an aftermarket seat too. BUT,the Black motors look better!  Just kidding,each to his own.As Triumph says "Go you're own way"

Kinda tripy to have a new old bike eh? Looking at the odo and doing a double take as the dern things gotta be wrong! Changing the oil at that ridiculous odo number. Removing the AI all over again. Having a tight bike again. Young, resplendent, vivacious... Sweet ride Mark. P.S.: careful with those tires as they have to be rock hard.
