Rich, it's something of a comfort to know that the average British
Triumph owner in GB is in much the same boat as the average Triumph
owner in the US. <g>
I include for those in the list still getting used to British
terminology (i.e., spanner, bonnet, layshaft (most Americans on first
hearing that term think it somehow vaguely pornographic slang <g>),
etc.) that knackered refers to being relegated to the rendering plant,
as with horses, because the appearance of which suggests they are
already headed in that direction, no?
Cheers, Rich.
