Indeed..... good luck
I cant help thinking that Triumph doing this may change supporters of "Buy British - Buy a British bike" go out the window a little bit ?
It could cost them!

Most of them haven't been built in Britain for a while.
Those who want to buy a British bike could always go and buy a Norton...............
And the reason they are made in Thailand? Because Thailand has a free trade agreement with large parts of the world.

Whether it's true or not I don't know, but they say the quality is better from Thailand.
I think this has been on the cards for some time, so it's unlikely brexit is the reason.

I don't doubt it. I think the more you make of something, the better the quality & consistency becomes...not the reverse. And within reason.

I suppose it depends on how many job losses there are. If D6 is around, he might know?

My commute remains unaffected. I'm not riding to Thailand every day.
