Also a Speedmaster.

 

FIFY

They made speedmasters back in 1927?

 

Ah, a man of taste!

 

Probably not.

 

True…I am a Speedmaster…my 2021 Honda Monkey will do 55 mph on the flats in a no-wind situation. I’ve had it up to 72 mph going downhill with a tailwind. I like my Honda Monkey so much that I purchased a model of it…and took pics of the model…and then [without doing anything] some computer gizmo made this…

 

The same with his original bracelet

 

My FJR1300 will do about 72 in first gear in a few seconds flat.

This is mine, bought it before Christmas and have worn it every day since. Surprisingly I love winding it every morning, thought it might be a chore compared to my automatic ones but it’s actually all part of the experience of owning one.

 

Here ya go @SC1 as I promised here is a snapshot of our Speedmaster automatic to match yours.



And although I have zero interest in traditional model Speedmaster professionals like the rest of you Speedydweebs I could have sworn we still had one kicking around in one of our stash boxes and here it is. Don't ask me what particular model it is as I don't remember or care. I'm so uninterested and cavalier about these professional models that I never even flipped the head link connector at 12:00 to put the seam at the bottom ever since we got this thing in a package deal in Cebu City like freakin 6 years ago. I just couldn't be bothered and certainly don't wear the thing




Oh I just remembered what model Speedmaster it is...

 

Wearing a new, trying to learn some old

 

Helping run Service this morning, timing things very well.

Some of my Speedmasters.....
