Seems like it's the only good thing on the redesigned site.

Oddly enough the splash page redirects you to securetriumph.co.uk Hmmm. 
Secure implies an online store, maybe?

Not just on a Mac. NS4.7 and NS6.2.1 on a PC both make the site look 
poorly designed. And it's not just a Netscape thing, it also looks bad 
in MSIE.

First check to see if you are running NS6.0 or a later incarnation.  6.0 
was horrid! Upgrading is strongly recommended. Nah, make that mandatory. 
It does work, at least on NS6.2.1, you just have to be a little patient. 
At first I missed it. If you put your mouse over the menu on the left 
you will see a slight, barely noticeable, color change from white to 
pale gray thereby indicating a clickable link. Some of the items, when 
you hover your mouse over it, generate pull down menus. Most of them are 
under construction.

IMHO It is idiotic to put up the website without all the elements in place.

And the number 1 lame part of the website: finding dealers.

After I selected USA from the pull down menu, I got an alphabetical 
list, by state, of the US dealers, SEVEN DEALERS AT A TIME. This is 
great if your looking for a dealer in Arkansas, but if your looking in 
Wyoming or West Virginia you have to go through the list SEVEN DEALERS 
AT A TIME. I'm on cable; I can only imagine what it must be like on dial-up.
