Well Rob,
It looks like a lot of members' true colors have come out on this thread. A bunch of HD wannabees who can't afford "their overpriced dream bike and matching trailer", and have no idea what motorcycling is about.
Thanks for posting it, looks like some "blanket parties" may be in order in Georgia and other rallies.
I love Harleys, they are a love/hate item - I choose both!
I love 'em and I hate 'em. They are great to ride, as long as you don't pile up the miles. And stupid chicks dig 'em.
How many times have you been told, "I like your Harley" or "Nice Harley". Whoa!!! let me re-evaluate my choice of motorcycles.
I enjoy (as does my wife) talking to older gentlemen about my Triumph. Men who know that riding a bike is not about an image, but enoying the smells of springtime, the wind in your face, spinning two gyroscopic wheels through twistie roads. Pushing it to the limit and testing your mechanical skills, knowing that it is just a machine. God knows, I love my Triumph. After I fill my garage with Triumphs and maybe a few vintage bikes and a BMW or two - Maybe a new Harley. At least I'll enjoy it for 2-3 years.
Now, Get Real. Why did you buy a Triumph?


Ride Safe, Dennis Triumph, it's how I live and what I ride.
