See, Gina that's another thing I don't get. A Triumph made in Britain is more expensive to buy there then in the US and they don't have to be shipped half way across the world. What's up with that?


We've been asking that for ages mate!

As you can tell I do not understand the whole exchange rates thing.


An America in the UK = £5,799 (that's $10,730).
An Ameica in the US = $7,999 (that's £4,325).

So, a US-bound America gets assembled, crated up and shipped to the US for a lot less than I would pay for a machine made less than 30 miles away ..... work that one out
