We got the little bikes upgraded the way we were upgrading them anyhow. Triumph listened and provided!

I say "Way to go Triumph!" We went our own way and they watched then went with us. Now that is a great company.



Oh REALLY, Ron?! Then where in Triumph's lineup is that 1000cc air-cooled Triumph Twin puttin' out about 70 to 80HP and with good suspension units bolted onto it? You know, like the one I've been hollerin' that Triumph should've been makin' AT THE FACTORY these last 7 to 8 years now!

Evidently them fellas over there on that li'l island ain't listenin' to ME, or for THAT matter, ALL the folks out there who have been puttin' big bores and/or generally "upgrading" the performance of their Bonnevilles(both standard and cruisers) lo these many years by means of the Aftermarket.

(...yep, I still say that Bloor's Boyz have overlooked a sizable segment of the M/C purchasing public who MIGHT have considered buying a Bonneville IF it wasn't primarily "built to a cost", and lived up just a little more to its performance oriented namesake of yore...which, btw, seems to be a reoccurring thought mentioned within almost all reviews I've ever read of these bikes in motorcycle enthusiast magazines)

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)
