Featured How Not To Run Your New Triumph In!

Just hope it doesn't get passed on to someone who can barley afford it and gets left with a water melon.

More money than sense

 

Agree

but it’s still funny

 

Morons day out to the coast. Great advert for Triumph but some children really don't deserve nice toys.

 

I thought it was really good footage. I was amazed they managed to get it running again on the beach. If I lived in the USA I think I would not be looking for a second hand scrambler.....

 

Some people shouldn’t even have bicycles let alone nice, expensive bikes. Complete and utter morons if you ask me

 

@BonnieCat
I agree with you, Nikki. I feel sorry for those bikes and clearly these boys didn't much care how messed up they got. I did enjoy the first little bit of the video but even then was thinking, "Hmmm, sand, salt water, and motorcycles--not a good combo". As the guys themselves put it, it was "a shit show". I didn't recognize their names when I looked for comments on YouTube and it said they are athletes. Anyone heard of these two knuckleheads?

 

These guys are stunt riders. Drifting is the game. I wouldn't worry about the bike too much, as by the looks of what they do for a living on utub that Scrambler won't see 5000 miles. Entertainment. "Everything Empire"

 

Well, I know all that logically, @Hobnail. But I have a tendency to anthropomorphize my bikes (along with my stuffed animals) so I felt badly watching those beach(ed) Triumphs. I’m sure they were sitting on the showroom floor prior to being purchased thinking , “Oh please let me go to a good home with someone who will love and care for me.” And then they wound up on the beach for the sake of a YouTube video, spitting and puking up sand and salt and being laughed at. Sigh...

 

I don't think I'd ever want a bike that had been ridden on the beach, def not in the sea!

BTW, how do folk do the "Faceplam" reaction? Not got it listed as an option on my screen?

 

You need to be a forum subscriber to get the extra smilies

 

Ahh, that explains it!

 

Still don't get how the oil could get to that state, does saltwater and oil create that cappuccinolooking gunk?

 

Oil and any water creates gunk. Normally seen in the radiator of blown head gasket. Turns into white chunks that solidify in the block.
I was pleased to see they flushed the oil multiple times to cleanse the new engine

 

Now I don't regret buying my bike new....

 

can't have done it a lot of good
