No obvious mention of it on the UK site, but no mention of it on the Oz

What gets right up my nose more than anything is that they had perfectly
good bikes to use as models for something nice and modern whose only
defect was that they pissed oil everywhere. Then they went and called
in these Italian concept wankers and merkin accountants or whatever they
were before they should have become unemployed and fucked the whole
thing up.

See, you could be righteously proud to lust after machinery contemporary
with its era whose only fault was to leak a bit of oil but ffs with what
they are building now, how long is the fucking list?

It seems to me; if I owned one of these heaps of beautifully styled
shite and had never had any of the recalls put right, I shudder to think
of the injuries I could sustain on a trip down the shops.

It's not right. We shouldn't have to suffer the indignity. You could
put up with a bike that had character and even make it a feature like
the 500 mile roadside rebuild that is a part of Buying Into The Dream
but this simple failure to observe tradition, which seems to be
Triumph's marketing goal, is not fucking on.

I am going to boycott their products for the next week in protest.

 

yep. The one you now have left me at the side of the road with petrol
pissing out of it.

Mine was fine for three years. Then Timo got hold of it. I refuse to
accept that it was mere coincidence.

So it is sorted then?

 

Ace was seen penning the following ode to ... whatever:

Wasn't my fault, guv. Nobody scratched their heads and said "Funny,
this never goes wrong". Instead, they said "They all do that, sir"...

 

yep. new connectors couriered from trumpet themselves as the ones
*they'd* ordered [1] were the wrong size. They took them off another
bike so it has been sorted but you may still have the problem sometime
in the future.

[1] totally different dimensions and they had oodles of stock of
