The rivalry between Triumph and Harley is indeed ancient, but I'd say much less so these days.
For the life of me, I can't undestand why anyone would want an engine that fires -
tic tic ----- tic tic ----- tic tic ----- tic tic
when for half the price, you can have an engine that fires
tic - tic - tic - tic - tic - tic - tic - tic
The power of media hype and myth has proved extremely lucrative to the Harley Stock holders. I wouldn't own one due to the powerplant engineering antiquities, but I do wish I had bought their stock when it was in the sh**house.
