Much better than the usual I get, "is that a Harley", or "Oh, Triumph. is that a Harley model".
I'm guessing the HD guys don't care much for that line of talk either.
Well John, seein' as how you've brought up the issue of what HD guys don't care to hear, then there's ALWAYS the sentences listed below which they don't appear to care to hear EITHER...that is just in case your point is to spare their tender feelings here:
-"Hey look! Everybody's walkin' over to that Triumph parked over there and admiring it, and they're ignoring our Harleys!"
-"So, you say this Triumph of yours cost HALF of what our Harleys DO???!!!"
-"How come John on his Triumph got over the mountain and to the bar 15 minutes before we did on our Harleys? And not only THAT, the guy is already on his SECOND beer! What?! He couldn't WAIT for us or somethin'?! That's just rude, if ya ask ME!"

(...oh and btw, and regarding the wearing of a Triumph T-shirt...I usually get the "I had an old Triumph back in the day and boy do I wish I still had it" line from the older semi-retired guys who work at Home Depot and Lowe's!)
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)
