I can honestly say that any problems I've had with my bike were my fault.



sidekick,
Don't worry. I'm with blackdog here, my very few problems were due to me doing my own wrenching & tweaking.
One of the older salesmen at Bogart's in Birmingham, Alabama told me he was at first worried about carrying the Triumph line, but since has realized that Triumph's quality is right there with BMW. He said the only thing people bring Triumphs in for is scheduled maintenance and occasional 'working bugs' out. And the Triumphs are a WHOLE lot cheaper to repair if needed. He also mentioned that their Ducati line is still a total maintenance nightmare compared to Triumph.

Ride Safe, Dennis Triumph, it's how I live and what I ride.
