From the sunny Spain...

No me jodas, no me jodas Barbagris que ya lo he autorizado... ¡mierda!.

****! I took my bike to www.triumphmotosmadrid.es because I thougt it was impossible to find another garage where repair the clutch.

Could you give me some information about garages in Madrid (or near, because I live in Alcalá de Henares) where I can take my bike in the future?

Thanks in advance and what a mistake not to come here before!!!

My bike gets done by me. I simply don´t TRUST anybody (almost).


If I need specialist help (with machining large parts) then I always ask Mauro at Classicco in Arganda del Rey first. If he says "no" there´s always a reason.
Their chief mechanic and workshop manager understand each other (amongst other things we share the same birthday) - I was there today just for a chat - and I often help out for fun.
Small parts I can machine myself.

I would like to see EXACTLY what they do for that 3500€ - Yup a shame we did not speak before.

Hi again Chris,

I send you the budget here. Two things are really expensive: engine gaskets and labor.

Having now seen the repair "estimate" - we're not talking clutch - rather a full blown tranny rebuild.
Massive vibration followed by 4-5th failure. New selector forks gears etc.

26 hours labour.

Which is about half the pre-tax estimate
And includes a **** load of TAX. Difficult to avoid in official dealers - Not so difficult elsewhere.
