Bonneville America Forums Forums Off Topic Discussion Forums Lounge Was riding yesterday...

I pulled up to a light and a guy in a truck in the next lane over looks at me and says "nice bike, Triumph? What year is that?" I replied "thanks, it's a 2007" his reply "I didn't know they made those anymore, those always used to be a great bike" I looked over smiled and said "they still are" at that point the light turned green and I was gone...

I get that all the time too....I seen what looked like a harley of some type sitting across the intersection, light turned, here he came, black ratted out Speedmaster...really cool, I thought, that's my bike in a few years...

5 weeks ago crossing german -polish border stopped to get some fuel.........
bloke says
-" wow english bike Triumph,which year? "
me
-"2001"
bloke
-"they stopped making bikes"
me
-"never stopped, always something was done with Triumph name"

bloke
-"not true I know better!!!!!!!!!!!!"

me

-"RIGHT"

It's something I think we all get from time to time (when we are stopped long enough for someone to say something).

Triumph is the oldest continuous production motorcycle company in the world. History
