You Can't Rush A Good Thing

A Closer Look At The triumph Speed Twin

It took me longer than I would like to admit to figure out what the Triumph Speed Twin is all about. Ultimately, you can’t rush the Triumph Speed Twin. Take changing gear for example, if you don’t do it by the book it begins to feel overwhelmed. It’s never heard of clutchless shifting where you shut off and simultaneously flick the gear lever up into the next gear. It wants the full experience of shutting off, heaving the clutch in, coaxing the gear lever up and feeling the clutch all the way out. Otherwise, it gives you an unsatisfied jolt as if to say in its retro voice: “take it easy man, enjoy the ride.”
