In all fairness, I've seen guys on most major brands of bikes - especially cruisers - that don't ride well. That includes Triumph. You just notice it more with HD riders as there are so many of them. The first time I rode with my Indian motorcycle crew, I realized that just because someone has a $25K motorcycle, a long gray beard, tattoos and a leather vest doesn't mean they know how to ride that motorcycle - regardless of how long they've been riding.
