My dealer made me an ofer I couldnt refuse. Thought of trading in my Speedy on a Sprint ST, until I test rode one. I couldnt get used to the leaning forward and having my legs that folded up, I decided just for the fun of it quote me some prices on the 'bird. I'll be damned if they didnt come up with something I could do. I know I'm being laid off at the end of the month, but this was waay to workable not to do. We all know what the look like, but i will post the the photo that maters most. It reads ZERO if its too blurred.

Congrats! Who did you get it from? I got mine from the BMW/Triumph dealer in Plano.

I had a speedy and went to a Tbird. You're gonna love it. the speedy is a nice bike, but it's nothing like the bird.

Good choice, you will love it more and more. Still have my America for backup, but the Bird is just so much fun. And that 6th gear is something I keep looking for on the America.
Have fun riding.

Got the same pair, Ray - picked up the Bird last night, rode it home in the rain! Didn't even get to keep the "showroom new" for 5 minutes!

Oh well, I bought the bike to ride, not sit in the garage and be shiny like a Hardly.

I just bought a silver and black T-bird today. It should look pretty sweet sitting next to the speedy while awaiting the arrival of spring.

It took you a while, but you done good son ! Not too sure you will notice the speedy sitting next to it tho.

ataDude, I got mine from RPM cycle. I like the shop in Plano, but they wont let you test ride and RPM does. Now I just have to get a job so I can the BC exhaust and get it out of stealth mode

Sweet, enjoy.
Several interesting stories, a brother in law who rides Harley finally saw the TB. First thing he said, I like the pipes. Then yesterday the FedEx man delivered a Scorpion half helmet, and saw both bikes. He looked the TB and said, I like the tank.
Just interesting to hear from different perspectives.
