The only major expenses have been elective (darn that Fast Eddy!). My 2002, has only had oil changes and front brake pad replacement. Nor do I pamper this bike; the roads out this way are rough at best and it has tolerated extreme heat and cold with a fewer complaints than me! I bought this Triumph because my old Triumph (which is still running – it now belongs to a collector) was 17 years-old when I bought it and it ran like a top until I sold it 22 years later.

If it says “Triumph” it has to be good!
