Why does Triumph not offer the same clothing in all countries? I went to the Austrian site and saw a great leather jacket. It's not offered in the states. Bummer...

Whisper,
If you really want the jacket there are plenty of Aussies on this site. You could probably work something out.

My dealer told me this weekend that Triumph is not offering the same clothes everywhere because they have found that some lines (like colorful leathers) where not at all popular in the U.S.

They will sell mainly what has done well for them in the past based on dealer feedback.

Although seeing as the jacket is in Austria, you might have better luck contacting an Austrian! :-D :-D :-D

If the new D675 gets the reviews it deserves and attracts a younger audience in the US, I suspect Triumph clothing will take on a new and bolder look. Personally, I'm a big fan of the subdued Triumph clothing, but my 22 year-old son loves his orange S4 and dresses in Icon products because they are bright and well made. He has recently convinced me to wear more colorful togs as a safety concern. To that end, I have a new AGV helmet in red and silver, a red and silver Joe Rocket jacket, and red gloves. Can you say "Santa Claus?"

But every now and then, I jump into my all black outfit, hop on me black S3, and disappear from the radar for a few hours.
