    Ha ha, geez mate, I've gotta get new glasses, I had to read your last sentence twice to understand what you were gonna do with those bulls! Anyway, did you buy the "Upgrade kit", or is this something else you're doing? I asked a while ago if anyone knows what the upgrade kit consists of, as...

    Triumph Design flaw-does anyone have a Triumph email?

    I don't think I've seen one in the flesh, but AMCN raved about them. I love the S1000RR, but I'm too old and fat to own one. I had "K" series BMW's and they were brilliant, both did over 100,000 miles and neither one had been apart, and I knew I could get on them and ride to Perth or Darwin with...

    Triumph Design flaw-does anyone have a Triumph email?

    Yep, I agree entirely mate, as an ex-BMW rider I can't believe the difference in the two manufacturers philosophies, BMW would have done all the remediatory work for free, and they would have checked the bike to ensure that everything was perfect before I collected it. Cheers, Terry. ;D

    Thanks mate, but sadly Peter Steven's in Melbourne is Triumph Australia, so there's no-one to complain to, unless I send a letter to Mr Bloor himself. I collected the bike on Saturday, and apart from them forgetting to tighten any of the mounting screws on the fuel tank, (it was rather...

    G'Day Guys, I've just had the repair done, and the upgrade kit fitted on my 2007 Classic by Melbourne Triumph. (Peter Stevens) I was pretty pissed that my bike has only done 10,960 Kms, (around 6500 miles) and even more that they're charging me $2204.70 to repair it, but they tell me that I'm...
