The answers simple. It's a Triumph for you then. Don't be lured by the K word

[yod]

i can see this being a point of serious discussion this friday....over a bourbon or two, of course

edit: the manufacturer of choice, not the leather bondage equipment

A Honda rider came up with this and another Honda rider knew what he meant (Ithink) scarey.

Truimphs must be the most respected bikes on the planet at this point. They just never seem to be put down. Even great marques like Ducati get shit but the Truimph has heritage, looks and acceptable performance.

All depends on what Triumph are you talking about. There been some issues- oil consumption, ECU mapping, warped disks, misaligned hubs, rusty wheels, fuel caps not being able to be removed, broken spokes but I wont tell . Not to mention Hinkley are not the Triumph of old thank goodness.

Al and Dogs have certainly shown the performance is acceptable though. Ah lads? Prefer real world evaluations as opposed to race track puffery myself.

Rang the insurance company and gave them a rev today as agreed on the amount the assessor said it was worth, but had heard nothing from insurance company.

Got told "oh yeah we have received the paperwork, will pay it out tomorrow night" About time!!!

Wonder how long it would have taken for the payout if I hadnt have rung them.

Make sure you keep on assessors back, as it took mine 3 weeks to get stuff thru to insurance company.

This, without doubt, is the single most accurate statement ever made on KB. It's insight and clarity of wisdom will never be surpassed and I predict the author will one day receive the Nobel.

Apparantly the above mentioned issues never actually occurred Bonez, but were in fact simply propaganda circulated by rival, disgruntled manufacturers. Amazing eh? The performance though is outstanding
