Ade, it is now a new day. I have read all of the above posts and they have their merits. It is after all a matter of choice. I have thought about it and I agree with those that will not purchase a made in Thailand Triumph. Someone asked if they would purchase a Triumph made in England, but assembled by Thai workers. I would, as those Thai. Workers would live and work in England and it would still be a made in England Triumph. A Triumph assembled in Thailand would be made by Thai. workers living and working in Thailand. It would not be made in England, and that is what I want. Even if it is just as good I still want my Triumph to come in a crate from England. I could not connect to(as someone here put it ) a “Thaiumph†I am going to take very good care of my “made in England†Triumph America because I will not be buying another.
Would you buy A Ducati made in China?
Would you buy a BMW made in Turkey?
Be honest, if Triumphs were made in Thailand from the very begining would you have bought one?
