I will vouch for all of the above facts. There is just something about riding down the road on my Triumph Bonneville and getting lots of "thumbs up" and hearing "Hey, that's a beautiful Triumph", that makes me feel great. Of course, folks at the John Kerry street corner ralley didn't much care for it last year when I pulled up to the stoplight and opened up the throttle and drowned them all out with my roaring Bub exhaust system :)

I don't ride much any more but when I do, my '72 Yamaha 650 gets more attention than I'd expect. It's funny to see all the leathered H-D riders circle my little old stock Yamaha. When I was young and foolish, the 650 could beat any bike off the line and it did. Of course this didn't sit well with my husband's friends. Ha Ha

Just saw two Triumph knock-offs last week end. Jap bikes that looked like old Triumphs. They were Kaw'i's, I think.
