That's exactly what I was doing. Thank you. It's refreshing to have someone actually READ and UNDERSTAND what I wrote without knee-jerking the "big, bad Harley rider got upset" response.

You know - there is this show ... The IT Crowd - its British.

Anything made in Britain doesn't work... Fire extinguishers burst in to flames....

Makes me wonder about Triumph.

Although I still ant an MG... or even a TR-4

It's probably that the Harley guys figure with looks like that, you belong on a Triumph.

After all, who would expect to see Cary Grant on a HD?

(Then again, Marlon Brando rode a Triumph in The Wild One : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wild_One .)
