Hi, just wanted to stop in and introduce myself, I just found this site and I'm so excited to find a group of Triumph riders! I just got a Speedmaster in August, it is a 2006 hold-over, and I absolutely love it! I'm looking forward to customizing it. Just thought I would say hello!

Welcome I know you will enjoy this site as much as your new speedmaster. Oh yeah what color is it because everyone knows the black ones are the fastest.

Enjoy your ride, and don't let anyone else tell you their's is faster!
Lots of good info here,,. I have an almost new 06...it's only got 3000 miles, but long and boring story about why I didn't ride much this year.
If you can pick up a wrench, you can do some of the mods yourself, like remove the AI and put on some nice pipes and K&N air filters.... then get someone else to do the rejet unless you want to do that too...
Makes a difference with performance.
The Speedy may not be the fastest bike or the most outlandish, but it sure is the most fun!
Oh and you'll get lots of "I used to own a Triumph... " from lots of people... so be prepared!
enjoy!

I've already been on the newspeedmaster.com and whoa ...I was drooling at some of that stuff..and cringing at the price tags. It will just have to be one piece at a time.

I'd get it one piece at a time
And it wouldn't cost me a dime

Don't admit that it's black. Gloat!!. Black Speedmasters are the premium of the line  .
Welcome.

Don't know WHY, but for some reason my mind went straight to the ol' "drapes matching the carpeting" punchline here!!! 
(sorry Richard)
BTW...welcome Mikkell and Donny!!!
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)
