Yeah, one the one hand, it is cool to own a "Triumph", on the
other hand, if it was not for JL I would have had a breakdown
over the price and availability of parts.
No matter where I go, I will be able to get parts for the
Yammer, not so for the Triumph.
As far as riding, lately, my riding has been ethter, 3,000 miles
in 5 days, or commute to work. As far as kicking it up, I've got
a 240 odd lbs dirt bike that gets my attention on the weekend.
YMMV, and hey, there are people that are perfectly happy with
their HondaBago's
