I think that one of my best rides on the 05 speedmaster was going by myself out to the black hills of South Dakota. For me it is about a 2000 mile round trip. The roads were great and I hit about every kind of weather possible. The bike gathered quite a few comments and the usual old triumph stories. I had needle and shim kits made up to deal with the elevation changes on the way out and again on the way back.

The bike was flawless throughout the trip. Which was good as I not not taken a phone with!
