Despite being rated as superior to the BMW R1200 by most reviewers the Trophy didn't sell that well. 2017 is the last year for now. But there are rumors it may be back next year. Good for me though. I got one for about a grand more than the new Speedmaster's list price.

We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
