Does the current Triumph have a band of loyal followers as the article suggests?

The local Zero dealer is also a Triumph dealer and judging from the parking lot Triumph is their more important line.

Not sure if that article says more about working about packaging existing technology or creating their own technology.

The author sure get a lot of links to his articles on various forums but often the amount of information is pretty minimal.  Triumph has a proto type project with a title or code and here are some names of folks that somehow are associated.

Looks like a trial balloon to me.  I guess we will find out eventually if Triumph feels that an electric motorcycle is worth developing for the consumer market.  ???
