I’m sure you can get lemons no matter which brand you buy. I had a 1990s Triumph Thunderbird whilst I was living in England. It was a beautiful bike and I loved riding it around the Norfolk countryside. (Picture attached) I would have like to have had it in Australia but didn’t want to go through all the protocols to export it. Never gone back to a motorcycle, but Laurent’s song and video sure does capture the freedom and feel of flying you get on a bike. What I got back on my bike, I’ve probably now spent on guitars and music equipment. Both very satisfying pursuits.

Kind regards.

Thank you for the comments and I agree with TuneMonger on the opinion given on Triumph motorcycles in the 70s (this is no longer the case now) We were fans of Japanese bikes, 4-cylinder 4-stroke or 3 or 2-cylinder 2-stroke with a clattering noise but which revved very high.
