Hi Jean .Apologies for the late reply . I've been out of the office for a
while . Have to work once in a while :-)
IMHO not all , but most Triumph owners are nice guys / gals . I think a
differentiation should or could be made between real Triumph enthusiasts and
guys / girls that just acquired a Triumph because they liked the exterior of
the vehicle . No passion other than their own image ... possibly .
Don't worry . There aren't enough bad apples in the world to extinguish my
passion :-)
Free parts or free advice . It's all the same to me . Give what and how you
can . The important thing is to keep Triumphs were they belong ... on the
road .
Kind regards .

Hi Chris,
Not all Triumph owners or drivers are nice guys.The only thing I
would give to a stranger is free advise,after that he will have to prove
that is not trying to abuse my helping hands.Years ago I "borrowed"
some quite expensive parts to a chap to get his car going for a TR
Meeting and never got them back or replaced. A year later I heard
from a friend that the ba***rd had sold my parts.When I confronted
him with the facts he replied that I had given him the parts for free
and that the parts were still on his car.
The good thing, there are far more nice people and the bad apples
are rotting away very fast.
So keep your passion burning.
Jean
