... you don't see many Triumphs on the road! LOL!

You must be one of those who never gets out on their bike, or you ride around with blinkers on. Or perhaps bikes that don't have 'look at me' graphics and/or are not riden by Power Rangers are too subtle for you.

You might want to get down to your local Triumph dealer to try out one or two ... you might just be surprised at exactly how good Triumphs are.

P.S. I have no connection to Triumph other than I ride and own two of them (SP3 1050/Tiger955i). Best bikes I've ever had.

MCN biking ambassodor?

Sets off looking at camera, floor and guages.
Spots the toe-in arrows and charges up to the bikers' death trap tail-gating position behind white van.
Heads right round roundabout substituting body position for indicators.
More charging up to tailgating position.
Needs kerb to get both feet down while two vehicles and four bodies conspire to cause maximum distraction underneath a children's playground warning sign.
Uses busy roundabout as personal playground, again no indicators for the benefit of others.
In case we were in any doubt about attitude, hoiks up a wheelie for the doubtless amusement of passing traffic.

Good luck Triumph, but MCN, what are you on?
