Man, got back from Arkansas Monday as we went three days there from south Louisiana.My bike ran and performed beautiful!!This thing handles like a crouch rocket in those mountain turns.I did not see any other triumphs around,but every body was drawn to mine.only discomfort i had was i need a drivers back rest,and then i could stay in the saddle all day.Got about 48 mpg.  any way had a great time,and am going back real soon!!!!

Yup, Triumph have really got it right on the America/ Speedmaster - over here in Aust they are really taking a good slice of the cruiser market off Harleys and their Japanese counterparts simply because their bulletproof and lots of fun with plenty of style. But then I don't have to tell you blokes, you already know.
I's been a long time since a particular model has generated so much passion, and I'm stoked to own one
