You 'think' you 'know' individuals on this forum. You undoubtedly make opinions of those people from what you know. You draw your own conclusions. Those conclusions may be right, may be wrong.
I first met Doug about 6 yrs ago; he's a very together dude, very knowledgeable about Meridan & Hinckley Triumphs. You probably quite like him- but I can tell you he has a massive knowledge of all things Triumph and conducts himself with a happy smile on his dial. Doug, I look forward to meeting you a few times during the course of this year, riding a few hundred kms together and sharing a few beers together. Oh, and have a few laughs along the way.
