My biggest question is, why didn't you ride this beautiful bike more ? I'm hoping it was just that you didn't have time as opposed to health related reasons. The Speedmaster really was a beautiful motorcycle and had a Unique profile.

I took a job that requires a LOT of time away from home and a LOT of travel.
As the years went by on the road?
I watched as cell phones were causing more accidents/near accidents.
I decided after MANY years of riding? I didn't want to be one of those statistics.
So I gave it up. SpeedMaster sat for 10 years. Always inside!
I do take a spin now and then on Nancy Lady's 2004 America.

I completely understand that. I have had a few close calls with people not paying attention or on their cell phone / texting. In fact, I don't know anyone who rides who hasn't had close calls. I stopped riding for a while but got back into it when I was refurbishing them. I did that on the side as a hobby but wanted to ride more. I would have liked to have seen you your speedmaster as I probably would have bought it.



My lady would have loved that as it would have given her yet another reason to be mad at me. I'm one step away from being banished to the garage on a permanent basis now.


This is mine.





This is what my Vulcan looks like. I have the Vance and Hines pipes on mine, Highway pegs and Corbin seat with a back rest. I also have the original parts that came with it.

I'll upload pics from a day before I sold it.
Now I had a LOT of good stuff on it!
Corbin Gun fighter seat, custom intake I built, chrome bolts replaced with Stainless steel, etc.

You'll probably throw up when you find out what I let it go for.

Those are beautiful pictures of your bikes , how can i show pictures like that?
and how far do you live from me? After 2nd week in April i will be ready for a bike ride and an open air lunch and talk to you about Motorcycles. If it's possible i would feel like Tom Hanks leaving his island.
