I must be a RUB, what ever that is. I own Triumph a flask, many Triumph t-shirts, two Triumph leather jackets,Triumph leather jeans, a Triumph summer blouse, Triumph lighter, 4 helmets and if you stop by for coffe you'll be drinking it out of a Triumph or Ace Cafe mug.

I also have owned 61 and 63 Bonnies in HS and college. I do own a pristine 76 T140V, 03 America and an O4 Thruxton. Do any of my newer bikes have over 20,000 miles on the odometer, no. I work 60 hours a week and have a company car, I don't put 3,000 miles a year on my personal 04 F150 truck. I love to ride and ride when I can.

A scoot is a scoot is a scoot. When I ride in a group it usually consist of 2 Harleys, a Honda, a Duc and a 2 Triumphs. I'll ride with any brand if I like the rider. I won't ride or bird hunt in large groups.

The yuppie Harley riders are for the most part OK. They're just proud of their bikes like we are. But, I've been threatened in a bar by five Harley riders with pool cues because my Triumph jacket was " disrespectful". Another time a guy in a "If it ain't Harley it ain't sh-t" t-shirt on spit on my Triumph. I don't think he saw me standing there, I put his teeth through his lower lip. I know the difference between someone just wearing a jacket and someone being disrespectful.

Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats. H. L. Mencken
