John is mostly talking about the power of the internet to connect
Triumph owners world-wide, rather than speak to the power of any
individual list or model to dominate. I know this from years of
conversations via email with him, about Triumphs, and the business of
Triumph. John is responsible for coordinating the BMIHT with clubs
world-wide, and his interests are global and model-wide, rather than are
meant to limit conversation to one model or another. 

My recent responses to rants about shows and the VTR in America stem
from long and detailed conversations with John about the need to spread
help and sustenance to Triumph owners everywhere, and to interject some
truth about them and their production, quite apart from what the owners
wishing for pristine cars to make points in shows think.

Trust us all to attempt to help, whatever the list, whatever the
problem, wherever the car.

Cheers.
