I had been away from motorcycling for 25 or so years while raising kids, etc. All the hype on TV was V-twin this, HD that, so natually went looking at entry level HDs, that is Sportsters. Hadn't heard anything about Triumphs. My heart rate went up a bit whenever I browsed the Harley showroom, but when I stumbled across my America, it was love at first sight. Maintaining my best poker face in front of the salesman, I knew I wasn't leaving the Triumph dealer without signing for that bike. Stumbling across a Triumph dealer was one of the luckiest breaks in my life. Only question afterwards was wondering how to tell my wife...
