Triumph really seem to have cracked the American market, and of course if you can make it there...
I was actually thinking about this awile ago. On a single drive in Seattle I saw no less 5 of the newer Triumphs on the road. Thats a lot of bikes in a city that has a very eclectic taste in motorcycles (in fact the selection of Triumphs was eclectic as well, from a Rocket to couple of Bonnevilles and a Daytona of some variety). It seems that Triumph is getting a bit of a luke warm reception in much of Europe but they are really making pretty significant strides in the American market. I wonder what this spells for the company. I do know that everyone is going nuts over the new 675 Daytona, and I dont know that anyone has even ridden the actual production version of the bike yet.
I already have bags on my EX. Best accessory I could imagine for a bike. I thin I might take a trip to the Outer Banks in December.
You need to ride to NC.
I'm riding from Indiana to the Outer Banks next summer. My family is renting a house there and I'm taking a few extra days off of work so that I can ride down instead of flying. You'll have to let me know how the trip goes!
