Sorry - not with you - the Triumph factory burned down in ....2003? Google it.

The *first* fire at the Triumph works was a preemptive strike by BMW. I guess the second one was only to be expected once they got mixed up with Kawasaki Heavy Industries. They made more than bikes' y'know.

Culprits: The first fire

Culprits. the second fire. Who'd ahve thought they'd have had some of those still stashed away.

OH Im confused now...I have bears bike and Jap bikes does that mean I have split personalties..funk !!!! where's my medication

the club I belong too is a bears club and Im the only one who does'nt have a harley(which I fink around 30% of the parts on them now are ex japan

)

but if I remove the ONDA of the honda it fits in as it starts with a H and leaks oil its ok they cant read no good no how any way

Now back in time at the birth of the Motorcycle industry weren't most of the bikes powered wit J.A.P. power units wonder who made them

Got to ride a Harley to be in poker.

Have you thought that they just don't like jap bikes and that it is not personal?

Might have some thing to do with the original old school bikers being returned service men.

I know that my dad also doesn't like BMW's.

Hell I mean I always see posters for bears poker runs have yet to see a poster for a jap poker run there probably are but in my travels never seen one or rocked up somewhere and said to a large group of jap bike owners "what going on here then ,oh we are on a poker run " and this is after 30 years of road bike riding,might happen one day as I still have a few years left on the road.
