Would love to see that.

Triumph needs some publicity, and a land speed record would be just the ticket. Had an interesting discussion with Hans yesterday, dealer's trump tech, about belt chirps (showed him Mat's solution), the new Commander and LT, and custom tunes among other things. Polaris is making great strides here in the States, would be nice to see Triumph gain some notoriety.
BTW: my belt is riding to left, first time EVER. Hans says they always ride right, and he's well aware of chirp.
