Who cares. Just ride it. Triumph was
never a threat to HD any more then any other motor company.
People that want other brand bikes are more the deserving to buy what they want and have that choice. But don't sit there and tell me that HD is this and that, and Triumph is just as guilty of outsourcing for parts then HD, if not more.
Know the heritage of the bike you're talking about, then come and argue.
Clap, clap, clap. Great first post. On an HD forum, no less.
Not to mention, the original poster posted a "Dyna" question, in the "Sportster" section.....
Yes.....please.........by all means, buy a Triumph.
Triumph's greatest achievements, and currently can be seen today:
1.) Leaking Amal Carbs spewing fuel all over the engine from vertical float bowl gaskets.
2.) Leaking petcocks constantly doing the same.
3.) Vibration so bad that you needed to wrench everything after every trip or stuff would simply fall off while riding.
4.) Vibration so bad that your hands and arms ached after medium rides.
5.) Mysterious Lucas electrical problems resulting in long walks home.
6.) Constantly needing to adjust contact points… with a matchbook cover.
7.) Spark plugs loading up with carbon and soot every month of riding.
8.) Engines needing total rebuilds after only 8 to 10 thousand miles.
9.) Less Horsepower than you have on a new Triumph.
10.) Less torque than you have on a new Triumph.
11.) Oil leaks, oil leaks, oil leaks…
Ahhhhhh the memories!
