    Hey all from Dallas/Fort Worth area. I'm recently back in the saddle after a 14 year hiatus due to a back injury. My starter bike years ago was a Kawasaki Vulcan Classic 800, which quickly became to small and had an opportunity to upgrade to a Kawasaki Vulcan Classic 1500 and also had a Suzuki GSX-R1100 for a short time. I prefer a cruiser but that could all change now that I'm faced with picking a bike from anything made... But it didn't and I stuck to my roots and picked up a 2024 Speedmaster. I explored multiple makes, Harley, Honda, BMW, etc, and ultimately chose a Triumph. Never would I have imagined I'd own a Triumph but it really is a work of art. I love it's lines and how it rides. I truly forgot how much I'd enjoyed riding but I'm back and digging every minute.
