    Greetings from Colorado,
    I just brought home a 2020 Speed Twin this week. This is my first Triumph, and I’m loving it so far. I’ve owned Ducatis and BMWs and I think I’ve found my sweet spot with this gem of a motorcycle. The Speedie had me sold when I hit my first set of bumps, expecting my teeth to get knocked out like my R9T would do to me. Nope, we just blew on by with zero drama.
    Power and handling are pretty comparable to the R9T, but the riding position fits my body better. And the sound of that big Triumph twin is just awesome.
    Looking forward to learning a LOT from you all (like why do I already have an oil leak?) and hoping to pay it back in time.
    Shot the pic on a short ride to Mt Evans today to break in the tires. I was smiling the whole time.

    Welcome, and great choice of bike! I couldn’t be happier with my speed twin, probably the funnest bike I’ve ever owned. Definitely the best looking! :heart_eyes: As far as oil leaks go I’m of no help, I haven’t had any issues with mine.
