A Day with Triumph
This past Saturday (6/11/11), I was afforded the opportunity to be a control rider at one of the Motoworks Chicago Triumph Demo Days. Being a BMW enthusiast for many years I was a bit skeptical but agreed to volunteer. WOW, am I glad that I got over my brand loyalty! After riding almost all of the 2011 Triumph models available during the demo rides, I have suddenly become a fan.
