The rest of the place looked like a Harley Boutique except with Triumph stuff. Man, it looks like I’ll have to quit laughing at the HD guys. Whatever happened to the bike shop with the oil soaked wooden floors and smell of welding, beer, cigarettes and fuel?
We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.

It's in Honeoye, NY now, but the floor is epoxied, easier to cleanup. 
A word to the wise is not necessary. It is the stupid ones who need the advice.

The percentage you're paying is too high-priced
While you're living beyond all your means
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
From the profit he's made on your dreams

The really sad thing is that it's one of the better looking ones that he ruined.

My guess is that is precisely why only 50 were made. Sometimes there is a distinct difference between 'eye catching' and attractive.

I sat on this bike at Bogarts, after I threw the "DO NOT SIT ON THIS BIKE" sign on the floor. It's got nice handlebars on it, similar to buckhorns. It really would be a nice looking bike if you repainted it.
Next time I stopped by Bogarts, it was up on a pedestal.
I didn't want to sit on it again anyway.

Triumph, it's how I live and what I ride.

I can honestly say it's ugly. Fall-off-the-top-of-the-ugly-tree-and-hit-every-branch-on-the-way-down- ugly.... Paul Smith should be slapped til he can't grow anymore. Other than that, I have no opinion...
More flags
More fun!

The amazing thing is that someone actually bid on it, must have been color blind....
