Pulled up this morning after my commute into the designated motorcycle area; In addition to my America, there was a newish Bonnie Black and an older kick start triumph vert twin which I'm embarassed to say I couldn't identify...

I was stoked to see 3 out of the 4 bikes parked here today were trumps. I've only been at this office for 2 weeks, but I think I'm gonna like it here.

oh yeah, the 4th bike was a suzuki

Well then you're doing much better than I am. So far, Triumph has only 7% of the market here:

2 Harson Davidley Ultra Classics
2 Yamaha FZ6
1 Harson Davidley Softtail Classic
1 Harson Davidley Dyna
1 Kawasaki Vulcan 750
1 Kawasaki Vulcan 800
1 Yamaha V-Star 650
1 Yamaha V-Star 1100 Classic
1 Suzuki GSX-R 1000
1 Yamaha Road Star 1700
1 Honda Goldwing 1800
1 Triumph Bonneville

Most days I have the only Bike in the Parking lot. Once in awhile an old CB750 honda shows up. So I guess I am 100% of the market share.

I'm the only one that rides regularly.

The owner has a couple of BMW's, and the HR lady has a Honda cruiser.

I get 33.33

I'm the only one at my office, so I have 100% here.

Funny tho, some of our vendors ride Softails, they sure are interested in the Bonnie.

When everyone with a bike rides, the bonnie has 25% share of pavement at my office:

- My T-100
1 Harley Sportster
1 Honda CBR
1 Suzuki GSX-R

But I out-cool them all so they usually stay home in shame on the days I ride...

No doubt about that, especially if your '03 T100 is Opal & Sapphire Blue.

Bob357 and I work for a large dealership complex in Edmond, Ok. On any given Friday, an 05 T100, 03 Speedy and an 01 TBird show up for work at one of the stores. Bob and Sid are lucky, they get to ride all week long. I cant haul computers on a Tbird, so ride it to work on Fridays when its slow, and saturday, when I am doing emergency support calls. :-D

I am retired now but when I still worked at the hanger I had the only triumph.as long as it was warm and sunny there was always a few harleys and a few goldwings parked there.
but when it got bitter cold there was only 2 bike almost very day parked 1. my triumph and a goldwing :-D .
all the harleys stayed home in the garage .these are the same guys there were always dressed like bad aZZ bikers and long as it didn't rain or get cold.

I'm the only biker at my job, so it's 100% Triumph and likely to stay that way: I work at a center that provides rehab services to people with brain injuries, so my coworkers think I'm crazy.
