This all very encouraging to hear. I really thought many would have moved on from TBAs .
Pleased many haven't.

Gosh, I haven't been on this site in a very long time...I'm happy to see that there is still some activity here. I still have my 2003 Red Speedmaster. I have around 12K on it, which, granted, isn't much for its age. But, I do still ride it occasionally, though most riding I do is on my 2000 Thunderbird triple because it has a little more "umph" than the twin, and the girlfriend finds it more comfortable on the back of that one.

So to go along with this topic in 2016 I rode down the Kentucky for the Rally.
I could not wait to meet up with other TBA riders. I was so ready. We had a great time.

I'm still riding my 2006 Speedmaster. I got married in July 2017 and my son was born in 2018. I don't get to pleasure cruise like I used to but I ride it to work every chance I get and I make the wife drive my son and step daughter in the suv while I follow them on the bike when I can. I will be 40 on June 8th and having a nearly 3 year old and 11 year is hella exhausting and time consuming . I used to be on these forums daily, sorry I have dropped off but I check in when I can. I love my Speedmaster though and have yet to see another motorcycle that would tempt me away from it. The last cruiser Tbird versions didn't really do it for me and the new Speedmaster is just too small and doesn't look nearly as good as the carb versions.

JD13 congrats on your new family! I've got a daughter close to your age and she's chasing her 1 year old. Tells me the same thing - it's exhausting!

Glad you're hanging onto your 06 Speedy, from the description it sounds like a great looking, wicked fast ride! Enjoy your kiddos - they grow up too soon!

The joke in my family is that I’m gonna be buried with my 02 prefire ! 😁 I’ve had many many motorcycles in my time but this is one of the very best and don’t see any reason to move on . Might need to add a wheel someday but not yet 😂😂


ENJOY!!!!! NEWT!!!!!

I should have posted here rather than my other post....

I can't say I'm STILL riding a TBA. But I'm riding a TBA again....and couldn't be happier about it.


...you're gonna feel a little pressure....
