    Triumph continues to triumph

    As a life long rider of this fantastic marque - it is good to see that they are managing well through this recession.

    They have hardly put a foot wrong, since John Bloor resuscitated the make/marque at Hinckley.

    As well as the commercial success confirmed above, last month’s Bike magazine (dated DEC 2011, just to confuse us), mentioned on page 18 . . . .

    Compared with 2000, Triumph is up 146%, against BMW’s 34% increase, and a 22% rise for Ducati.

    Kawasaki is the best of the Japanese, but still down by 10%.

    Expanding on this success in 2012 will be the Tiger Explorer . . . .

    I am really please to see a fine British marque doing well. See, it is not about size and torque. It is all about poise, balance, control, responsive suspension and putting your hands behind your back, grinning and thrusting your tits forward. 5th from the left. The rest of them can fuck off and change back into their day clothes.

    Hang on, hang on. Before you send them away I'd like to see the one 4th from left with the interesting scar tissue on her knees.

    I think if I were to buy Triumph it would most likely be the Thunderbird. Being of slightly more 'comfortable' proportions I'd look a bit silly on anything smaller.
    To the just and virtuous man, death has no terrors equal to the stain of falsehood and dishonour.

    What's the third from the left got hanging down between her legs?




    The only real Triumph is a 6. Hairy arsed Fuel injected fun.
    Haven't had an accident in years. See a lot in my rear view mirror though.

    It's very unlucky to be superstitious.

    The 2 had its moments. Flicking ones fag ash out the window was never an issue.

    I'm pretty certain, that although BMW have "sold-on" most of the registered "Trade Names", that they purchased from BAe - BMW retained, and are still the registered owners of the "Triumph" trade mark with regard to four-wheel road vehicles.
