Does anybody out there know of good sites for Triumph downloads for wallpapers and screen savers? The ones on the Triumph site are just not very diverse and it would be good to get some action shots or new model shots showing ENTIRE bikes and not artsy angles of tank trim. Check out the Yamaha site and see what great wallpaper looks like. Step it up, Triumph and let us show our pride of ownership!

I don't think Triumph has any idea of the power of the internet. Pictures are worth a thousand words and Triumphs pictures are pathetic at best. If your interrested in a bike you can't even hardly tell what it looks like. And the size of them are way to small.
If your a brand new potential customer and you want a sneek peek at a Triumph you are going to be disapointed and probably go else where.

Not everyone has a dealership near by to see one in the flesh.

Triumph should learn from Harley Davidsons web site.

I made my own from bike pics downloaded from dealer's and Triumph's sites. My America (stock) is wallpaper, other pics are a slideshow for screensaver.

Brooksie,

It might take forever, but go through the photo albums on this site..... there are some spectacular shots from all over the world of Triumphs. I've seen great ones from Britain, out west, Australia.... Some of the guys are really good photographers.

You do know that Internet Explorer makes it really easy to set a picture you like as a backdrop?

There's something for everyone in that site with full screen pics.

Sharpshooter-I couldn't agree more. Though Triumph does have a decent RAT site. I think they should provide more fun stuff. Harley has the best web site, though it takes a lot of time to down load. It is worth it. Triumph does ok, but they need to really cash in on the repeat customer potential by providing a club like feel AFTER the purchase. Like provide the Torque magazine for the life of the warranty and offer free re-ups on it. Oh wll, could be worse...could be looking at Hondas never changing website!
