I remember when I first joined Triumphrat, our Sport Touring section was king of the site. With the most posts, we were running the show. Now it seem with well over 100,000 posts, the Speed Triple guys have beat us to a pulp. :kck:

Even the Twins has pushed us to the side!


I wonder if you take all the groups, you can figure out Triumph's sales numbers? For example:


Speed Triple Forum 107664(posts)
Triumph Twins 91754
Sprint Forum 65052
Bonnie Owners 41680
Triumph SuperSports 27951
The Rocket Science 25783
Tiger Chat 21663


Well, you get the point! I just hit 16,500 on the Sprint, and runs like a top.
:-D

It's a fair point you make, but how can I help? Most of my postings are utter drivel & I don't think the forum members can take much more :blush:

So, how long can they ride on their back tires hooliganing around? We can ride for hours and hours real fast.

Something about "old age and trickery" comes to mind :-D

Take total number of hours riding per annum per bike, divide by 12 to come up with monthly average. Perform same function with mileage. Divide AVG miles / AVG hrs to establish your monthly utility quotient. Using a Philips Curve to establish total vs. diminishing marginal utility trend (slope) and factor the delta into total percentage of both bikes divided by each individual bike to give you a running percentage trend on each bike thus you will arrive at:

The Poser/Sophistication Ratio! Which we can happily name the Raynewb formula. :-D :-D
