Triumph Tiger 1050 20.000ks Service

[Mr. Peanut]

I don't know whether or not you have owned a new bike mate. But to keep my warranty valid I am required to keep the servicing up to the mark. By the makers agent. Otherwise down the road if your engine or transmission fucks up. I'm in shit street big time. That is why I don't play around with it myself. I do though as soon as the warranty has expired. I do my own oil and filters though now.

So, buying a new bike is obviously a terrible idea for the private individual. Not only do you lose a chunk in depreciation, you're losing money on excessive servicing costs as well.

Why not buy a used bike that's been through its warranty period, had all its niggles fixed, and the bulk of the depreciation already done?

Yeah maybe. But there is nothing like that new bike feel. (we are talking about m/cycles still arn't we?)

[huck farley]

Carbs do need balancing frequently. Plus the throttle position sensor will wander if left unattended.
Forks are only touched by Robert Taylor, as are the shocks.
The Scrambler needs frequent maintenance due to the harsh conditions it works under (compared to some posers who by dual purpose bikes, and pootle around town n country on the taeseal)The fat girl is lapping up the sth isld gravel rides.
Hows your pretender doing?

I never claimed I was taking my Tiger of road. It appears you have bought a very expensive mud bike. You could have bought a better Jap bike to do all you are doing with it. Still I suppose a lot of you out there are emulating Steve McQueen eh? Probably just another pretender. Who's riding skills perhaps are lacking. Therefore just not quite experienced enough just yet, to handle a mans bike. Such as the likes of a big bore Japanese multi cylinder, or a Triumph triple!!! Hang on in, It won't happen overnight, But it will happen one day.

The ladies say I have a bigger dick than Steve M.
Shit you bite easily.
Maybe you should get dirty sometime
