Besides, Triumph shows up at some of the Euro bike events....
No they don't. It's the local national dealers with support from Triumph, for the most part.
Hmmmm.
In that case Thanassis, I can only come to the conclusion that the european dealers must have a heck of a lot more pull with the boys at Hinckley than do their american counterparts. And I say that because if I'm not mistaken the new Thunderbird was premiered at that Milan Italy show which allowed your friend to take some pictures of this new machine, and it hasn't even hit the market yet, either over there, OR here.
(and so, EITHER you europeans must, as I said, have more pull and a more direct "pipeline" to those boys in Hinckley, OR America's international standing in the world is EVEN WORSE than I thought it was, and has NOW even affected the wide world of motorcycles TOO!!!)
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)
