I own a T595 and when the speedmaster came out was always looking for the ideal opportunity to own one after many times finding myself drooling over the display models in the local triumph dealers ( I think they were a bit sick of me tuning up at the shop and sitting on their bike and going brrrummm brummm).

Well my wife was getting a bit bored with me going out on the bike and coming back with some great tales so she wanted to tag along but wasn't very keen on sitting on the back of a sports bike (neither was I to be honest).

Anyhow I spotted one on ebay and bought it and never looked back since.

Well I did look in here as a bit of a lurker from time to time and met Jane and Keith at a family party and was suprised to find out she had a speedmaster too and they told me about Dent which I turned up for and then for those who know me.........the decline began.

Since then I have ended up sleeping in a tent full of water, changing a chain in Eastern Europe and making a complete drunken ****** of myself in many a rain soaked field and having the pleasure of sharing some fine ales with a great bunch of folks from this site.

All the time I've generally been navigationally challenged.

I'm going to miss the British and European folks i've met on this part of the adventure but can't wait to begin the American leg when I get sorted out over there and get myself another speedmaster across the pond .....or who knows maybe a t'bird?????


Before the war on terror, if I saw an unattended package I used to think "I'll be having that!"
