S.O.S. Big Dave n PC

[tri boy]

Guys, Triumph magazine desperately need you.
The image of this fine marque is at a tipping point between coolness, and crossing over into the realms of effeminate "boy bitch" land.:crybaby:
It's breaking my heart. Check out the latest official Triumph magazine, Spring addition as soon as poss.
Inside cover, fecking Ewen Mc Cocksucker flogging off perfume for boys:sick:
Inside back cover, some pretty boy holding up his "Hopoate" digit with a smile, in a Tissot watch ad.:puke:
And articles from around the planet using words like ubercool, and spring collection. AGHHHHH!!!!! it's all too much.
And finally, on the back cover, of a magazine held as the representation of Triumph worldwide, is a ad for Gibson f**king guitars! With Slash from guns n roses looking more camp than a scout jamboree.
Please guys, submit something 1/2 real world to these guys.
Please. :baby:
Theres even an article on a scrambler, posing around Berlin back streets. AGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The mantle of "GHEY" passes from Honda to Triumph.

[Big Dave]

Nice to start the day with a laugh.

Mr McGregor is popular with the ladies, his work under my radar and I don't watch his stuff, but at least he is a rider.

I talked to them when they were here. The Long way down people approached Triumph to do their rides on a Tiger, but Triumph and subsequently KTM both declined to supply bikes - BMW were their third choice.

You and I are old school T men - and a dying breed. They need the young Euro metrosexuals to embrace the brand for it to prosper in the next set of 20 and brand positioning is obviously how they are setting about doing it.

I'm not going to bag the mag - I'm currently trying to get them to fund me riding a new Rocket III tourer around the South Island. :clap:

I'll pass it on to the enormous HAs that ride them.
PM me your address so they can thank you for the advice.

[YellowDog]

I'd stay quiet about all that and hopefully it will blow over.

Be careful not to rebadge yourself OR ME for that matter. If all goes well today, I will be ordering an ABS Tiger by the end of the week :-)

[007XX]

This is where I do love the fact that the "GHEY" mantle really doesn't concern me.

*sighs* (dreaming of a Street Triple)

[Crisis management]

You triumph gay boys better keep clear of my bikes then, I suggest special parking areas on the next ride Tri-boy, real bikes to the front and the trumpys getting in behind......:buggerd:



On second thoughts, maybe not. :pinch:

[avgas]

I blame the pink speed triple.....that was the start of it.

[sels1]

Havent got my copy yet but the last one was starting to go that way as well
Think of it as being sophisicated......?

[007XX]

I blame the pink speed triple.....that was the start of it.

:sick: What the hell were they thinking...I'm a chick and even I thought that was so very wrong!:doh:

[Big Dave]

pink speed triple.

Well, pressing that button seems to have elicited a response......:Pokey:



I'll keep out of your way for a while BD.

Now thats more like it.:2thumbsup
Just mount a fishing rod holder to it, a hip flask on display somewhere, and a rolled up swag strapped across the pillion seat.;)

(shots of Dave having a coffee around a dying camp fire at the crack of dawn, with the west coast-coastline in the back ground):yes:

I shouldn't worry, last I heard the gangs were moving to Triumphs because Harleys were becoming too stockbroker-y..

Well more to do with a better chance of a successful runner. Buells & Speed Triples and some hotted up V-rods dejour.

Nuclear Pink thank you. I'd buy one.

[Big Dave]

Nuclear Pink thank you. I'd buy one.

Nuclear 'Red', mate.
I quite liked it too. Rode one for a month.

AMPS couldn't sell the demo though - they painted it black and it sold in a week.

[MIXONE]

I'd have one but immediately paint it the correct Triumph colour,BLACK.

[Robbo]

Poon that.

I'll second that.

Nearly had a fight at the Scooter Centre (WMCC) and it may have even been WT, because I refused to call it Nuclear Red. That's pink, no matter what the colour chart says.

Undeniably.

My last animated discussion was at a BMW dealer and the merits of the three button blinker system.

They were arguing black was white auf deutsch.

[Big Dave]

I'll second that.
:argue:


Safe bet - It's as likely a scenario as someone walking up telling you your bike is ghey.

[MyGSXF]

Mmmmmmm... Ewan McGregor.... :drool::drool::drool::drool:

Honda riders will all be on K Rd, surely!:rofl:

Pink???:gob:


*exits to go and stir the ST owner at work!!! - Hope he has some hankies in his handbag*
Edit: He laughed his cock off!!!

Bad colour shift to RGB - not much like the real colour. Reality was much brighter and pinker.

Well, the metrosexuals are where a lot of the money is I'm afraid - building bikes has become more and more business oriented over time. :(

No one can tell what perfume you put on after you've spent 8 hours in the saddle wearing full leathers...

I purged the sins of the Triumph marketing guru's, by doing what my Scrambler does best............

Pic 1 Investigating places of interest.

Pic 2 Using the bike as it was meant to be used for, to circumnavigate awkward paths.

Pic 3 Take a break, peel of the battle worn jacket of 25 odd road years, and ponder the route.

Pic 4 And just for the hell of it, ride back n forth over the original obstacle.

[tri boy]

....and at the end of the day, use the magazine for it's only sensible role, a f**king place mat.
I ave been cleansed I tells ya.:sweatdrop

[fliplid]

First time I saw a Triple in that colour, I thought it looked more like summat from a nail varnish chart...
