I don't typically remember my dreams, and this one is somewhat foggy, but I had this dream that something was wrong with my bike. I took it to a dealer, and somehow or other, it came about that they couldn't fix it, but for some reason they were going to give me a brand new Speedmaster to compensate. (Guess I couldn't talk them into giving me a T-bird.)

Subconsciously, you know that the Speedmaster is the best bike on the planet.

You Speedmaster drivers are a sensitive lot. Low self-esteem, constantly trying to assert the imagined superiority of your bike over other nearly-identical models of the same brand. There are bigger fish to fry.
Lastly, black ones are faster...

Somehow I doubt that Triumph's customer service is QUITE that accommodating.

I like the blacked out engine parts on the Speedy, but I'm not a huge fan of the drag bars. I think they'd make me uncomfortable. Also, while the dual front brake is a nice feature, I do prefer the look of the spoked wheel.

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)

I had a similar dream. I was the proud owner of a highly sought-after, near perfect in every way, somewhat rare Cardinal Red 2002 BA. Now I find a kinda' red 2007 speedmaster in the garage. The shame

Eeh, don't despair, John! Your dream still lives on in Prescott Arizona, ol' boy!!!
Well okay, at least PART of your dream still does anyway.
(...the part that holds up the rear end of a certain guy's motorcycle who lives there!)

You think that was weird... you don't even want to know about my latest dream.
I was right... right?
