(For my fellow Yanks, I'll attempt to translate the above from the original cockney to standard american english....)  Jobuck has just put a deposit down for a brand new 2008 Triumph America, and he's pretty jazzed about it, an emotion which is universally perfectly understandable, of course.  Congrats jobuck, and welcome to the fold, dude!

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

I have one bit of advice mate. Sit down wi' a cuppa rosey lea th' noo and plan out the longest possible way home from the dealer. Everywhere else you might be going for that matter. When you pick up your new Triumph, you will be glad you did that.
