@@edwardjeremias4087 ha! It was! I’ve just done a few things to it! It’s still a Speedmaster as it has pillion pegs and seat when I put the seat back on… also, forward controls unlike the bobber… the seat is in a different position to the bobber too… But yes, I was going for somewhere in between… as if they made a Speedmaster black…

Beautiful bike and great video. I'm doing my full A license later this year after just riding a 125 Vespa around lol (love it). Planning to do a big road trip across America next year and have had the speedmaster recommended for such a trip. Any thoughts? Thanks
@CaptainRambunctious22 күн бұрын
Thank you very much! Yes. It should be absolutely fine for that sort of trip… to see how well it tours, check out my latest vids around the North Coast 500 in Scotland. I’m fully loaded in that and also the wales trips too… should give a good indication of how it works… Cornwall was fun camping as well… Good fuel consumption, fill every 130 miles or so. Very comfortable too… lots of leg room. Good luck!!

Please tell me you don’t wear the prostitute stranglers when you’re driving and it was the previous owner that left them on the centre console. Good choice of motor by the way, I’ve been scouring the Autotrader for one myself much to the disapproval on the other half.

Had a mate with an xk8. He gave it a squirt passing a truck n trailer. Cops clocked him at 208 kph. They took a rather dim veiw of it. They left it on the side of the road still running as they pushed him into the back of the patrol car. Fortunately his mrs was able to knock off and rescue the car. Lost his license for a year and got a $2000 fine. Like he said afterwards, there's nothing cheap about these cars.

As a prospective Speedmaster buyer, I most appreciate long term reviews. I believe yours has told me most everything I needed to know. New reviews are fine, but until you've lived with it for a spell & the new has worn off, do we really get to figure out how well it's gonna fit into our motorcycle life. I believe Speedy will fit into mine just fine.
@CaptainRambunctiousАй бұрын
That’s excellent news! I still have mine! Thank you. You’re right that the longer term reviews do help. The good thing about these bikes is that you can change bits to suit you, like mid foot controls from the bobber if you find the forward controls too forward, and the straight handlebars if you find you want more arm space… Thank you for watching and for your comment!

4:36 Your description of your seating position must mean you're relatively tall? That's one of the reasons I'm looking for my next bike, I'm a little short for my vstar, my sticks don't quite rest on the front pegs, they're more against them and I always feel like they're going to slide off. I have to point my left foot forward to shift.

I know this was posted quite a while ago, but from watching your posts with Merlin and now this, you, Sir, convinced me that what was missing from my life was another bike. After 27 years as a police officer in Australia I resigned due to PTSD issues and have been labouring with my sense of self worth since. But no longer. I have bought a 2010 T Bird and it's thanks to you and the many videos of hearing riders just laughing and clearly enjoying themselves on these wonderful machines. It ignited something in me that I thought was long dead. So to you and to all those who love their bikes, as I again do, a heart felt thank you for helping me through a dark and troubled time in my life. Huzzah!

That’s amazing news Wayne! Really pleased to hear that this is helping. My TBird was amazing so have a wonderful time! I close friend of mine has PTSD from the Army and the way he describes riding a bike, it really helps! You are most welcome and you don’t need to thank us at all! Just glad you’ve found something! Ride safely and have an amazing time! Tally Bally Ho!
