Triumph you rock/suck?

Ah this thread. I'd forgotten I started that. It's all just a distant memory and I am in love again, although interestingly, I did find it strange that the seat release works on the riders seat rather than the pillion. Again not something I'd seen before...

Them crazy poms eh ?

If it's anything like my Tigger there will be cock up meaning that the cable outer end is prone to falling out of the retainer so the seat gets stuck on. Cable tie fixes it.

No Triumph problems at this end.

Have reset all the jubilee clips to face the right way and also tidied looe wires with cable ties.

Wouldn't be happy with rusted bolts and chrome.

Fortunately mine is all good.

One thing we did in the olden days, you know the time when they said jappas wouldn't last, gave them a good spray with WD40. Seems to have worked quite well.

About the only problem with my triumph was trying to get a few body parts and fittings, and reason I did not buy another.

I ordered a few parts, just minor body parts and well after being fucked around for a year I traded the thing in on a Harley. It's not the reason I got rid of the thing but it was the reason it was not replaced with another.

The parts never did turn up and neither did my money. The actual quality of the fittings was fine.

Hey dude, wondered where you'd got to. Pretty shitty about them taking money & not supplying. Tri NZ has a lot to answer for. and of course they import GasGas as well so I have 3 bikes 'supported' by them.

Yea it's a pretty shitty trick to be ripped off by a company who you brought a new bike from.

Just be carefull dealing with them is all I can say. There are heaps of other companies who want your business.
