It all depends on the type of crowd, Charles.
If it's a Harley/Cruiser crowd, then these BAs and Speedies get a lot more attention than if you're talkin' about a crowd of Sportbike, Cafe Racer or Adventure Touring folks.
And there's one more factor to consider here: To that second crowd, there is often the thought among them that besides the idea that Cruisers "ain't their thing",
the mere idea of a Triumph "Cruiser" is also somewhat of an "abomination" in their eyes.
(...just ask any of those folks in that "Brit Iron Rebels" crowd if ya ever run into any of 'em)
