I see them occasionally around here, and what always strikes me is how 
Lilliputian they look on modern roads when corraled by the huge pickups, 
SUVs and crossovers that ooze through town. I'm quite sure that I could fit 
one of the little Triumphs I saw last week in the bed of my 06 Ram, and 
maybe even put the tailgate up. I would guess that there are lots more of 
them out there, but they tend to keep to themselves on rural roads for fear 
of being crushed like a soda can by a soccer mom with her mirrors 
misadjusted...
