Looks decent enough, but that's a lot of dollah for a Thai bike. Does it even come with a surfboard mount?

The factory in Thailand is like nothing you would expect, for instance, the welders have to have I think 5 years experience, then they have to train for a month per weld that they do before they can weld the bikes.
Everything is electronically tagged, so they can see who fitted what part at which time.
They each have many colour coded air guns set to a predefined torque and all the design is done in England.
I wouldn't have any issue with a Thai built triumph.

Triumph dealer, triumph training, seen photos and the systems, and hae an invite for next year, they're a bit funny about giving outnsuch information and pictures, as you can imagine.

Not really, no. I'd imagine they'd be ostentatiously proud of it.
Fancy a move to Glasgow? We've not had a Triumph dealer for years.

Whilst I was training at triumph last, there were a couple from a dealership in Glasgow (cant remember the name, but currently a ducati dealer if that helps) opening a triumph showroom.
Meant to be top secret though (shhh).

Fake 'Amal' carbs kill it for me instantly. I wish they would move away from the past.
Owning a Triumph is becoming similar to owning a Harley Davidson....a different breed.

Cat's out of the bag, Ducati Glasgow is indeed now an approved Triumph service outfit and will be opening a capsule sales outfit.
However, I'd prefer to buy from a single marque dealer who aren't treating the bikes as a fling on the side.

Come on Roger, you're intelligent enough to work this one out.
If a standalone Ducati dealer is taking on another franchise, it's because they aren't making enough money out of Ducati - a tenner says they're planning on going full time Triumph in the fullness of time, while hedging their bets for a year or so.
