I rarley see another Triumph on the road, I don't know if it's that I'm always in the wrong place at the wrong time or if it's a vast shortage of Triumphs on the road here in Warwick but it almost never happens. Well twice in two days I saw Triumphs out, yesterday it was an America. I was driving my Jeep (instead of riding my bike unfortunatley) and I pulled up next to this guy and told him that he had a nice bike and let him know that I have a speedmaster, I wish I could have talked to him more but it's kinda hard to have a conversation with someone across traffic while driving. Then today I was in a parking lot when I heard the roar of motorcycles coming down the road so of course I stopped what I was doing to look at the bikes and there with two cruisers (one was a harley and I'm not sure what the other one was other than the fact that it was not a Triumph) was a yellow Thruxton. I was pretty happy running into one Triumph but running into two was great.
Let my dying thought be that every mile was fun and let my tombstone read,"They never made one fast enough for me."

I was camping in RI for the weekend.
Didn't see any Trumps, but did see a Norton, riding w/BMW's
on the way from W.Greenwich to Galilee.

Someone on a black America passes by my work every day, don't know who he is. Went to Oklahoma to pick up a BMW I got on ebay (I know, I can't believe it either) and saw 2 Rocket IIIs on the road. Also saw an attractive young woman on an older Sprint ST riding with some HDs somewhere in Alabama.

Lon,
You'll see H-Ds everywhere in Alabama. Milwaukee Madness is pandemic in my state.

I guess I posted this too soon... Make it three times in three days, yesterday I saw an old bonneville turn in front of me while I was at a stop light.

There's so many Triumphs in NYC, if you don't see 3 a day there's something wrong

I have yet to see another Triumph on the road however yesterday Bob Dylan was in town for a concert and when I got to my regular watering hole there must of been 15 people in there with Triumph shirts. I thought I had died and gone to heaven. Only problem was my America was the only one in front of the bar. Talked to most of the people wearin the shirts and was bummed to find not one of them owned a Triumph

The other day I'm at a light on my bonneville, a guy on a speed triple pulls up next to me and just sits there. So I give a little beep, then wave. He almost fell off, he didnt even realize he was next to another trumpet  G
I never wanted to lead, and I never wanted to follow.
I just wanted to ride.

Well, When our son comes home to visit on leave, we will be seeing four Triumphs, adding his RocketIII to the paddock. Too bad we can only ride one at a time.
