All it needs is for the bike to be British Racing Green and have some Whitworth fasteners while it leaks oil in the corner because the Lucas electronics have failed!

They don't call Joseph Lucas "The Prince of Darkness" for no reason.  😄

Well, if you're gonna have a sidekick, might want to wear this one and hang out with a young Diana Rigg.

Lol this thread is hilarious. 

On a more serious note I feel like Triumph is ready for a top tier rider. By all accounts the bike is very good and they have a few years experience under their belt. Theyve gotten a win with jordon smith so theyve also shown they can be at the top step. I think with ducati, beta, and ktm’s problems causing them to remove gasgas then husky theyve gotten shuffled back a bit in the consciousness of consumers, so signing a big rider would move them back to the forefront. 

The bike is great for the avg rider so I think they need to get a bit more exposure so theres some more sales and in turn more people see them out at the track, then more ppl can try them, and then more ppl hear ppl saying good things about them out and about.

Is this confirmation the Coenen's are coming to the US in 2027 or just Triumph offering a multiyear deal while KTM would only give him another 1 year deal? Or maybe Justin Cooper signed with KTM?

It's kind of a full circuit moment for AP since he trained on the grounds where the Triumph track is with Matt Walker during his amateur days.

Why do the British drink warm beer?

Mr. Lucas built the refrigerators.

I'd like to see Mookie join AP, but they need some guys who can (/want to) ride both SX/MX. Maybe Haarup could fill Mookie's seat for an outdoor only deal?

I agree it's time for them to get some top riders and AP is a great fit. Hopefully he can stay healthier once he gets off the anorexic cycling program. 

The new 5.11 Triumph livery looks sick.

Haarup is going back to the GP's for 27'.

Staying a red bull athlete I’d imagine? 

Was he ever really a RB athlete? I thought he just wears the lid from the team sponsorship.

I agree. And the 27’ models should be advertised as “with an all new 5 speed transmission”

I’m not sure. On LVK they were saying redbull really like him and maybe would try to get him to go to Troy Lee. Maybe that was hypothetical.
