Not everybody wants a big heavy bike they can’t afford. I hate to see people out of work because of poor CEO decision making.

    I’ve always liked Triumph’s since my friend had one in high school. I bought a T140V from him some time in the 1990’s and I still have it. He passed away ten years ago and I’ll never sell it.
