In reply to Barry.

Years ago I was considering buying an old Trump Daytona a local car dealership had up for sale, cheap, but decided not to after a brief test ride, wherein I learned that riding goofy-foot (ie, shift on right, brake on left) was definitely NOT for me. At that point, a career as a flat-track racer was right out.

The new Triumphs–known by waggish types as “Thai-rumphs, since a good many are made in Thailand) are quite nice, I think; models like the Bonny have a very nostalgic repro look, but outperform their older, classic siblings by orders of magnitude, particularly when it comes to brakes, suspension, and overall handling. The very Buell-ish Speed Triple is supposed to be a real mover, or so I’ve heard.

Error happened.
