i have thought many times,,,, if as many people that say that they had a Triumph, actually had a Triumph, then why did Triumph have so hard a time staying alive?? It is funny though, how many people start that conversation with "A Triumph aaah, i had a 196? 70? bla bla bla its incredible how many times i hear that. what is really sad about that is, when you ask them what they are rideing today and most will say "oh no, i havent had a bike in X-yrs. about the only time they say they still ride is at a bike gathering. but if i'm at a pit stop someplace it tends to be "oh i dont ride"
