Must admit.... I wont be buying a new Triumph again. I had quite a miserable experience with the last new Triumph I bought some years back.
They may be better now, but once bitten does it for me.

To do that? Probably abuse and poor maintenance.

Thinking of photos - these are off the net and are crash damage not unreliability:

There is a lot to be said for a chain, sprockets and a scottoiler sometimes.

Because your trip to work and back is 12 miles mine is nearly 90
Out of kindness and to ensure your bike keeps running I give it a run for you would much rather be on the ducati
