I'm a lucky man. I have a Speedmaster and a Thunderbird Sport. When I got into a financial pinch this past spring, one was supposed to go. I put the Speedmaster up for sale, but luckily no one bought it. Things are tight, but we will survive without selling either. I just could not let the TBS go. I liken it to a gentlemens' hooligan bike. I have rowdy mufflers on her and that triple just sounds so good. When riding solo, I almost always take the triple(like today at work). When in a group or with the boss, I take the twin with the backrest. Love them both:I think the triple just a touch more.
