I don't know what they're trying to say about Triumph owners Dave, but it isn't complimentary.

Yeah, that and the BSA Rocket III (The original) ads in Cycle magazine back in 1969 - 1970. I recall the great pornography debate in the letters column of that magazine over those ads.
(I think I've still got a few of the old mags in a box in the attic somewhere)

Ha,ha - I was going to mention the BSA adds,but doubted anyone here would know a BSA let alone the adds....to a young and impressionable teenager the BSA adds implied the more seedy and sinister side of motorcycles....red paint and shiny chrome,scantily clad women in evocotive poses,certainly more exciting than meeting the nicest people on a Honda!

Remember this one? It is in two parts as I can't work out how to stitch the bits back together.
(would have been more effective if I'd posted those in the correct order...)

There are people here that know a hell of a lot more than you think.

It's up to you to prove I don't know everything - until then then you are all a bunch of fuckwits and my superiority is unchallenged!
