It's like Harley......... There not made in America, there assembled here, or as they say "Born in America" Sorry you feel the way you do. Oh you better check your car/ truck if it's an American marquee. It's chock full of parts from Thailand, Tiwan, Turkey, Japan, and a host of other places.




Sightglass, I didn't buy my truck because of where it was Made or Assembled. I DID however purchase my '04 T100 because of where it was Made/Assembled. I bought a Triumph because I like the heritage and history associated with the brand. Which in my mind means I'm purchasing a British motorcycle that was assembled in England. I am well aware that many of the parts on my bike were manufactured elsewhere in the world ... that wasn't my point. My point is that it isn't a British motorcycle any longer in my opinion. It is now a Thai motorcycle being sold under a British brand name. No thanks.
