So he's maybe 30?
"Ohhh so its not a real Triumph then !!"
He wouldn't know a Meriden Triumph if it bit him.

I'm OK with anyone who rides. Even the HD guys. Even weekend warriors. Scooters are good too (maybe a Vespa in my future).
What's just really annoying are guys who pretend to know something when it's obvious they absolutely don't. The big machine is a replacement for a lack of useable brain cells. As a group most HD riders are good guys. Then you come across the rockhead like this guy. But there are rockhead Triumph riders too. I'd like to think they are a smaller percentage. What I like about even rockhead HD riders is that they're buying new HDs every day.
Hey, they buy the bikes, I buy the stock
