I am getting confused. Is there an issue about Triumph being a bigger bike company than Victory? Of course they are. I think the term is standing on the shoulders of giants. Victory wasn't able to buy a marque that was 90 years old with world wide recognition.

You have a 12 year old company making kick ass bikes with dealers in 50 states. They make cruisers that the Thunderbird can't run away from, touring bikes that Triumph has forgotten to make and they are made in America.

They are not a sport bike company and apparently feel that after you ride your starter bike a while you can aspire to buy a Victory when you want a real bike.

I try to aggravate one person a day. Today may be your day.
