Maybe "fortunately" wasn't the best choice of words. But, I do like the fact Triumphs are more accepted and considered heritage bikes. All my friends ride Harleys, and we ride a lot as a group. I sorta understand their bike attitude even though I see things a lot differently.
The thing they seem to dislike the most about my Triumph is that it gets attention everywhere we go where no one cares anything about their bikes.
We were on a trip last month and I said one of Harley's problems is they only make cruisers and younger guys are looking at other kinds of bikes i.e., sport bikes, tourers, sport tourers, as well as cruisers. The answer I got was that Harley makes all sorts of bikes including tourers like the Road King. I quickly realized I was not going to be able to make a point. Too much tunnel vision. They are not going to get it.
