Go question there newt! Ya know, this question of yours here has me wondering if maybe Buell's recent expansion of his racing ventures and the costs involved in it might've heavily contributed to this situation, and thus further giving credence as to why John Bloor has always seemed reticent to enter into any large scale racing venues with his Triumph company all these years?!
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)
