Not my story, but my dealer friend, Ron's. He had just quit college and signed up for the peace corp. (late 60s) He had a month to appear in India, so he landed first in England and bought a brand new Triumph off the showroom floor. He rode it less than two weeks and had it nicked in Italy. A year later the cops contacted him and said they had finally found it, at the bottom of a quarry. One of the saddest stories I have ever heard when I think about it. Can you imagine, the rush of buying a brand new bike to travel Europe as a young man, and then having it stolen only days later?!!
