I seen an add for a credit card the other day (I believe it was Discover card) of a guy putting fuel in a Triumph Motorcycle. I still find it amazing to see how many commercials and movies use a Triumph over how many other different possble choices.

I saw that one too, and had to rewind to make sure!


Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

Yeah Ron, I've seen that commercial with the guy fueling up his Bonnie Black too.

Kind of a similar thing, I guess in a way, was something I heard on a local classic rock radio station the other day while I was waxing up the wife's car in our driveway.

The DJ said something along the following:

"I hope everybody out there had a great Fourth of July holiday this weekend. My wife and I drove to Manhattan Beach to watch the fireworks they shoot off there, and while we were trying to find a parking place, a very cool looking motorcycle, a Triumph motorcycle, went past us and pulled into a place reserved for motorcycles just ahead of us. As we got up to where it was parked, I wanted to take another look at that nice looking machine, and as I looked over at it I noticed Billy Idol pulling off his helmet as he was getting off of it. And so, I think I'll play a song of his next after we return from this following commercial break."

(yep Ron, it looks like there's more and more recognition of these great motorcycles out there every single day, alright!)


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

To steal a quote from Adam Sandler in "The Wedding Singer:" "See, Billy Idol gets it."

No matter where I go, this bike always turns heads.
