I ride alot. I don't have a car (the missus has an Element),
so rain,shine,or South Florida Monsoon, a bike is my only way around, to the tune of about 300 days a year. A buddy of
mine is a Harley freak, has owned dozens of 'em, etc. I came
into work one day, pouring rain, and he looks at my bike and
says," If you rode a Harley like that,sh#t would start falling off of it." You don't have to baby a Triumph. Between
the counterbalencers and the 270 degree crank, it doesn't vibrate parts off. The mirrors are the clearest and give the best view of any bike I've ever tried. The biggest problem with Triumphs is when you get to work, you'd rather
keep riding than work. Buy the Speedmaster.
