Last weekend I went to the 'Sydney Motorcycle Show' (held at the Olympic Park), walked in and out within an hour! The girl at the carpark ticket-counter who processed my voucher questioned me as to why I was leaving so soon?
I knew full well that Triumph wouldn't be there but thought I'd go and see what all the rest of the brands had on offer. Apart from the new Buell Ulysses XB12 (which I think is very innovative in it's design), absolutely no other bike did anything for me.
Of course all the Jap bikes were proudly being displayed, full of plastic and moulded components but nothing IMO compared with the sheer beauty, simplicity, clean asthetics that our Triumph bikes radiate.
If the full range of Triumph bikes had been on display, I'm sure that there would have been crowds of people eager to get near, let alone put firm orders down for anyone of them. (Triumph, are you listening?)
My disappointment was soon forgotten upon returning home to my garage, uncovered my Black Thruxton (said G'day - I'm back) and threw my leg over. In a selfish way, I was happy in the knowledge that our bikes are our little secret.
Too Bad... So Sad for all those who have yet to be enlightened, enriched and empowered with Class & Style.
