I'd say I get the same commentary with both bikes, 03 cardinal /silver America and 04 black/checkered Thruxton. I think most familiar with old Triumphs recognize the shape of the tank and headers. You always get the "great restoration", "can you still get parts", "what year is that old bike" etc. Of course you will always get the "I had", " my uncle had", "my neighbor had", etc. Triumph story. It happens less than it did, I think people know they are around now. But, there is still an admiring crowd around the Triumphs on bike night.
