It is true. Triumph engines do tend to discard a little of their lube as they
pass along the milestones. This is part of the breed. It is the happy feeling
that these engines enjoy, keeping a fresh supply of oil passing through their
innards and thus keeping the complicated machinery in a good mood. Bad humors
cannot be accumulated for the system refreshes and the blood of the engines is
restored on a continuous transfusion basis.
Many engines of the more modern ilk contain everything inside for too long and
the bad humors collect. They do not have the happy spirit of the Triumph, you
see them on the scrap heap, alone, discarded as unloved and probably because
they did not keep their innards happy. Pity them and be happy with the much
loved and revered Triumph.

As a regular corner worker, please be advised that it is no
longer referred to as the Debris flag. For the last five or
so years, it has officially been the Surface flag. This allows
us to be more liberal in its use. Having said that, it seems
even more appropriate since the Triumphs are usually contributing
to the surface condition. Not always with parts!!

Subject: [FOT] FOT Logo: Checkered vs. Debris Flag
The Checkered Flag (vs. the Debris Flag) was important to me.
I felt that something was needed, in the logo, to honor the Marque and the
People that are involved with them.
I still feel that way.
There is an enormous amount of time and money that goes into these efforts.
The FoT has elevated the desirability and respect of the Triumph in recent
years.
"A return to glory".
Even porsche pilot Vic Elford is more likely to admit he had a factory ride
with Triumph, early in his carrer.
