While I REALLY like this version of the coming new, bigger engine and faster Triumph Bonneville line, when I saw the name "Street Tracker" ascribed to this model, all I could think of was George Bernard Shaw's famous quote about America and England being "Two people separated by a common language".

And because, in the good ol' U.S. of A., a "STREET TRACKER" is a motorcycle that looks like an FLAT Track racer but is equipped with lights in order to be street legal. And sorry, but that so-called "Street Tracker" pictured here looks like a CAFE Racer than it does anything else!

(...so what's with those darn "superfluous 'u' users" over there on that little island situated off the coast of continental Europe anyway, huh?!...why can't they seem to understand this???)



Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
