Buying my Triumph Bonneville SE in 2009
Me: Was it made in the UK or the Far East?
Triumph dealer: Well it's hard to tell, really.
Me: I was told you can tell by the frame number
Triumph dealer: That'll be hidden away somewhere
Me: It's on the headstock
Triumph dealer: The bikes are all the same, at the end of the day
Me: That is as it may be, but was in made in Britain or not?
Triumph dealer: Would, would it make any difference if, if it was, you know, not made here?
Me: Too right. I had a British built Bonny in the 70s and I don't want any of that crap again. If it wasn't made in the Far East you can keep it.
