More bikes, less politics

Ya know - I blame Bloor for all the arguments on BHO.

If Triumph would just get their finger outta their collectve arse and give us:

A light single retro Tiger Cub
A 675 derived adventure/enduro
A 1200 Daytona
A 1200 Trophy
An 80RWHP Bonnie
A big 1050 trailie

We would have a lot more to talk about that politics!

What bikes should be in the line-up for 2011

and which should be dropped!

Oh yeah! An entry level bike with retro class just oozing out of every pore.
I am sure I have read a post somewhere on here bemoaning the fact that there is no such bike in the range to build brand loyalty.

Looking at what the company has done with the bonnie, I am sure they could make a massive success of this as well.

Heh, I heard a fella by the name of Erik Buell has some time on his hands, perhaps they should let him loose in the design room.

Yes, please. Asked for it many times. The short and long-term payoffs to the company and the riders should be huge.

Not that I have been around here for what was probably many interesting conversations, but I do agree. The politics of the day is all consuming, and slowly creeping into every aspect of everyday life. I can't even take my kids to the playground without it popping up somewhere. My Bonnie gives me a shot in the vein of "anti-politics serum" whenever I need it. There is no better fix than a Triumph.

You can please all the people some of the time,and some of the people all the time, but you can't please all the people all the time. Right now I'm very pleased with Triumph,hoping to put two Rockets in the garage the Standard and the Roadster, which should keep me very pleased well into the new Millenium.
