Dreadful corporate waffle

Didn't that watch company have a relationship with a certain other British motorcycle company and its dodgy MD a short while ago?

Absolutely. I was gagging by the end of the first sentence. In the awful old days of long, often pointless, meetings at work, I used to call this 'bullshit banter bingo'. You would play the game with someone with a like-minded cynicism of this kind of language, and quietly allocate points on a pad when you heard it. Then secretly award a prize to whoever in the meeting had spouted the best crap by the time it finished.

One of the few good things to come out of Covid was the end of the business meeting!

I hear local government was even worse.

I'm sure productivity, staff morale etc have improved as a result.

What's rather more interesting is Triumph's entry into MX and enduro...

Chronicles of Solid on YouTube points out that Triumph could/should launch a bike with a 'dual-sport' engine in an enduro chassis, alongside the full-on comp models.

Does it not seem a little one-sided?

Everyone (with the money) can/could wear a Breitling watch, but only those with a motorcycle licence can ride a Triumph.

I suppose you might own a Triumph, read that awful blurb above and think to yourself "Well I am discovering that the perfect intersection of my bike's corporate style and quality is a Breitling watch - I shall rush out and get one"

But if you own the watch, are you really going to think "You know what? My life with this stylish watch is not complete without a corporately quality motorbike to accompany it".

I only know one person who owns a Breitling watch (he makes sure you see it), hes a Psychopath, maybe a theme emerging?
