Nah, I don't think Ron "wants Triumph to fail", there Ed.
If I may be so bold as to speak for him here(yeah, yeah, I know...what's so friggin' unusual about doin' THAT "for" people round here, huh?!

), I THINK Ron just kind'a gets a little put off sometimes by some of the "Rah-Rah" stuff in the world, and feels that some of the "Triumph-centric" viewpoints sometimes expressed at this website often seem to verge on the similarly inclined and well known phenomenon which many people out there share that "there's no other motorcycle worth owning in all the world than a Harley-Davidson".
(and if I'm wrong here, I know Ron will correct me...'cuz I DO KNOW for SURE that just like ME, our friend in San Antonio and ALWAYS a most welcome guest to the SWTF, isn't shy about expressing his opinions...RIGHT RON???!!!)
