You might want to recall that Triumphs were being chopped b4 or at least kneck and kneck with the harley here in the USA.



AMEN! Seems here in the states, "Bikers" became
the in thing right around the same time as the
"Buy America" rage. So naturally HD takes the spotlight.
Now it's more of a "I got more money then you" thing.
Just like buying a Cadillac. Or is it a HumVee nowdays?
Besides HD did not invent the chopper look.
They ripped it off from street builders who modified thier
bikes to suit themselves. Popularity by theft and deception?
