I dont know if its just me but although I love to ride my Speedy, I also really enjoy just lookin at her. I can sit there cleanin and tinkering then sit back and enjoy just taking in all her curves and glory. You know I have owned alot of different motorcycles over the years and I kinda wish I still had most of them but never have I had a motorcycle that I love as much as this one. Triumph have really got it right with their retro range of Speedmasters and Americas. Crikey I better have another drink. Anyhoo I have decided to invest in a sheet load of goodies from Newbonneville and make her even more special. I can hardly contain myself waiting for the delivery to arrive. When its here and I have fitted all the stuff I will post all the pics

Three years later and I still do the same thing.

Except I don't really clean her, I wait until I go to Trail, BC and let Keith do it for me. I sit back and watch him.

Glad to hear this stuff. I thought there may have been something wrong with me---you know, for ogling over my America. Not that I do that,------no, really----I don't----

Yup, gotta admit, I enjoy looking at these bikes, too.

I refer to them as 'mechanical art'

That's pretty much the way it is alright!

And yes Stephen, I know what you mean. I get kinda mesmerized too just looking at my reflection in the chrome of my bike!
