I was looking for a bike and a friend mentioned there was a Truimph Dealer in town and he had seen the America/Speedmasters.
I had been all set to shop for a Japanese metric cruiser. Took one look at the Speedie in the showroom and it was so much purtier than all those Honders and Yamahammers and Suzuikis and what not. It won on pure looks and the mystique of the Triumph name.
