Amazed to see a Triumph pootling through Glandore, a little fishing village in West Cork, Ireland near where I now live. Think it was a Bonneville. I was in the Landrover, so I'm sure the rider was wondering why I was waving at him/her. Anybody here?

Hey man, that was me. I hit the ramp in LA and double skipped (using Hawaii) to make it to Mongolia. After that I took a day trip through ASIA. Stopped for lunch in Moscow and then activated the submarine mode on the bonny to get through the canal. I drove around England (south) underwater and made it to Ireland about the time you saw me. I drank a Guiness and headed home over the North Pole. I had a tuna sandwich in my saddlebag so I was OKAY. I thought you were kind of crazy waving at me like that. I should have stopped and said HI. Maybe tomorrow. Later, Paul

Have a few cocktails tonight Paul? 
A word to the wise is not necessary. It is the stupid ones who need the advice.

i would challenge you to a race, but I don't know where you live. I guess it doesn't matter because my bike is so fast, I can be anywhere in the world in under 11 hours.

Funny thing, when we were in Ireland last year the FIRST bike we saw was a Triumph, and it was the ONLY Triumph we saw.
I think the only Triumph dealer is way up in Belfast? You got a ways to go for service Rich.
