So you laughed at my analysis Mr. Sightglass, seems you have no common sense. If over 50% of the people in the poll said they would NOT buy a Triumph assembled in Thailand, and you still disagree with my assessment that Triumph could lose sales over this?? You are the funny one...............
Cool, I'm a Mr now 
So, Mr canyonwlf7, do you actually think this small comunity gives any real sample of what the entire motorcycle buying world thinks ? What you have here is a miniscule percentage of what the world thinks, and common sense tells me that. Now, if Triumph will ignore the broken rear spoke problem that's been blasted all over the net and the British motorcycling press, a safety issue, do you think a small group moaning about where they assemble bikes will change their view ?
For every 200 people who say they won't buy a P Twin Triumph because of where it's assembled, I'd venture a guess theres easily 2000 world wide who don't care and would line up to get one.
Fact of the matter is, the bikes may be getting assembled out off England, but the quality is the same, and better in some ways. I haven't had one bike from Thailand with crate damage, and don't have to deal with bikes being coated with cosmoline. I know this because I service and repair Triumphs every day.
Don't hold your breath waiting for Triumph to have a change of heart. This move has allowed them to build and sell more bikes, and that's the name of the game. Do you actually think they would gamble with their # 1 selling bikes in their second biggest market.......... and no, it's not the America, it's the standard Bonneville & T-100.
So in short, yes, you made me laugh with you threatning tone towards Triumph. 
Reminds me of the the line from the movie, The Ten Comandments...........
