well then...theres lots of us around here ! We call it pride in ownership.
Is it really wrong to feel that a Triumph is a piece of history in and of itself that eclipses the moronic lemming call to arms that typically is represented by HOG chapters everywhere. ?
Heck I bet that 99.9% of us around here ride with other bikes and other than kidding around we do not make rude comments publicly to the riders of those "other" bikes.
Wish it could be the same for them. How many times has a hardley enthusiast looked at our bikes and referred to them deferentially as "cute little things?"
Ever had a Harley owner ask you if Triujmphs are "Still pieces of Junk" ? And then go on to remark on all the old cliches about the problems that Triumph had with the electrics and oil leaks back in the day.? They conveniently forget the AMF days of Harley.
They so often dismiss our rides as insignificant.
I believe that a goodly proporrtion of us in this forum were drawn to the Triumph for two reasons.
1. We looked at em and we fell in love at first sight.
2. We realized that by purchasing our riders we were going to be off the beaten track and away from the masses of everyday rides seen on the roadways.
The Triumphs strike a chord in us that is uniquely out of sync with the rest of the crowd.
Hence Triumphs marketing them.. "Go Your Own Way"
"Proud to be an Infidel" ... "100% pure American Jingoist"
