Xardoz, has your magazine shown up since your post? My copy of
Triumph (emphasis theirs, in case anyone has noticed) finally arrived in the mail today.
It is a bit overly corporate, fashion-conscious and upscale (a Maserati ad for Triumph owners?!), but not nearly as bad as some of the previous comments had led me to expect.
The reason I asked about the e-mail address you used was to be sure you used the right one for RATAmerica, as they often don't respond to an inquiry sent any other way. Having signed up in March, you missed the Spring issue, but would have been in time for the June issue--if there had been one.
With a new publisher and a new distribution center handling the mailing, I guess they kind of stretched the meaning of summer a bit for
Triumph Number 001. Since autumn doesn't begin astronomically for a few more days, if they can get the rest of them distributed this week, they can still claim it as the "summer" issue...even though it's the time of year when we usually looked for the autumn
Torque, with a few blurbs and pictures about the new models.
