I got a copy of 'Motorcycle Shopper' the other day to aid in my quest for
a Vespa. Back cover, ad for TRIUMPHcare, customer finance-motorcycle
insurance-roadside assistance-extended warrenties. etc... etc... I
wonder if they'll offer the same for their disowned automotive brethren?
In the ad is a picture of the side panel on a new Adventurer I believe, its
held on by Posi-Drives :). Inside the front cover is an ad for the
Adventurer. A very proper cruiser, w/ a 900cc triple engine. That would
look so beautiful parked in front of my apartment next to the TR6.
