The problem of working at a Triumph dealership...

Our shop (Triumph of Seattle) is hosting the new Bonneville unveiling. My boss did a rolling burnout into the party on the new Bobber. Now, the problem. How do I fit it into the garage next to the Thunderbird? Sorry no pics - phone decided to run out of juice early in the evening.

The Bonneville Mullet. I love it.

And I don't own a cat.

Just curious... during the rolling burnout, was your boss in a warehouse? *evilgrin*

Kind of, actually. :eek: This is where it was held, the Georgetown Ballroom:





I received an invitation to the event, but passed. It wasn't my kind of bike to begin with, and that cringe-worthy marketing campaign that the above (hilarious!) vid critiques certainly didn't help matters...

Urmmm, I'm a little worried now. You see I have a Thruxton R, I've taken it to a few motorcycle cafes and hangouts and have had a feeling that I haven't been able to put my finger on. It felt like I was trying too hard, but that wasn't it. Maybe I was being a little fake, well yes but no, that wasn't it either. Now I know, I think I look like a yuppie, or feel like a yuppie, or even it is that I am a yuppie. Oh Poo.

How do I get out of that one?

I'll make a sacrifice and take hipster/yuppie bike off your hands....just let me know where it's parked and leave the keys on the seat.

The things I do for others!

I certainly won't claim it's for everyone (The Thruxton's an awesome bike, but it just doesn't work for me), but I like the way it looks. And it's just fun to have Triumph let the tires get burnt on their demonstrator.
