Received a letter reply from my correspondence to Triumph Motorcycles (America) Limited yesterday.
In reference to the near future production of the New Thunderbird I requested their consideration of offering, as an option hard saddlebags similar to what was provided on their Rocket 3 Touring model and the, at minimum, option of a tank badge more akin to Triumphs typical tank badges.
This was Peter J. Carleo’s response –
Dear Mr Storms,

“Thank you for the letter that you wrote to TMA with suggestions for the new Thunderbird. It is always great to hear from our devoted fans and friends.

Your suggestions have been noted and forwarded to the UK. Keep a close watch on Triumphmotorcycles.com for updates on the new models, and other information about Triumph products and services.”

Sincerely,

Peter J. Carleo
Customer Relations Manager

Oh Well, somehow I was hoping for something more (don’t know what, but) in there response.

For those how care and or have not seen this -
I found this site that mentions (not fondly) the new Thunderbird - ****** For Leather –search on 2010 Triumph Thunderbird
