Now now, settle down and take a breath here, Steve. Don't you remember how many newbies have come on this website and have asked us if a BA or Speedy would make a good first motorcycle for them, and how many times many of us around here have answered their question in the affirmative?!

We've NEVER advised them to purchase a Speed Triple or a Rocket III instead now, have we???!!!

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)
