Okay Bryan, according to your (very entertaining) story here, you attribute all of this good fortune of finding the (near)perfect motorcycle to "plain old dumb luck".
Now, if we take this premise of yours and expand upon it, I suppose we have to then come to the conclusion that there is really no valid reason for us Triumph owners around here to continue to denigrate, besmirch or otherwise sully the reputation of many of the Harley-Davidson owners by refering to them as somewhat deficient in their abilities to recognize a superior product, and thus question the level of their (supposed)brain-power.
So in essence, you're saying that because those many many riders who canvas this fair country astride "The Motor Company"'s product just don't possess this "dumb luck" and thus to their misfortune they may not be cognizant of the Triumph brand.
And seeing as how it is considered in extremely poor taste to cast asperion or in any way deride "The Poor Unfortunates Of The World", all I can say is......YOU SURE KNOW TO KILL A GOOD BUZZ, BUDDY!!!!
(I mean...HELL, if you haven't noticed already Bryan, HALF the fun of Triumph ownership is KNOWING that YOU'RE SMART ENOUGH not to fall for all of that "Lifestyle" CRAP to begin with!!!)
