At one bike gathering.... this high dollar "chopper" pulled into a parking lot... parked away from most everyone else. The rider walked over to the area where people were sitting and talking... While he was walking... a ratty old (mid 60's) Triumph parked next to his "chopper". When chopper boy turned around, he aw a crowd had gathered where he parked. When he returned to his bike it was the old ratty Triumph that had the crowd.....
Many long time riders started on Triumphs.... and frankly the skills needed to maintain one will attract the knowledgeable rider.... any one with good credit, and a thick wallet can buy a $50,000 custom.... but it takes a REAL biker to keep an old bike rolling.
FYI there's a 48 Indian, and well as a few Flatheads, and Panheads that show up on occasion... and they also get large crowds,

I get so tired of hearing idiots say Harleys are so far behind the times when it comes to power and torque. Tell me, how much power do you need to kill yourself? My scoot is plenty powerful and fast enough for me to do exactly that, I sure as hell don't need any more. P.S. I have yet to see a speed limit I couldn't break, and i'm doing it on the most comfy, stylish and popular motorcycle brand in the world, enough said.
