Adding a new two wheeled Motorcycle to the Stable

[rudym]

It's true, I can't get enough time on two or three wheels. Yesterday I pre-ordered the new 2018 Triumph Speedmaster to the Stable:

at 560 lbs its not my highway ride and will never replace my F3T but for zipping to work and back, in great weather, at 60mpg it's perfect.

How many spyder owners are still on two wheels as well?

:congrats: on your new Triumph, nice looking machine. "Still on 2 wheels" has been covered recently so not sure how many will respond. On two... +1 (see avatar)

Congrats....

Nice ride, always liked the triumph but only knew the early originals..:2thumbs: Not what you asked for but I fall on the other side of the question. Have no interest in getting back on a two wheeler after 60 years on them. I did take a few years off here and there where I had no bike and the spyder was not around...:roflblack:

Still ride the Bike.

I often ride my old slow Yamaha V-Max. As the weather has now cooled a lot I'll single on the :spyder2: more. :spyder2:s heated grips and a big windshield help much as winter approaches.

Congrats on the new Triumph. Triumph motorcycles are a class act and are currently some of the best bikes available and service and warranty issues are handled very well also. We had a 2014 Trophy SE which we put over 50,000 miles on in three years. It was without a doubt the best touring bike we have ever owned and that includes several Wings. Knee and hip issues forced us to downgrade to our Spyder RT last January. We do love our Spyder, but it is not and will never be the bike our Triumph was. I'm sorry if this sounds like a plug for Triumph, but after 40 years of touring two up we know what works for us and what doesn't. I do still have a 250 Reflex scooter that gets regular use.

Only way a V-MAX is slow is if you are pushing it..... love them
