Great you stayed in the saddle and controlled the beast so well. And nice to hear that there are still some decent types out there to help. Glad to hear you are still happy and healthy.

This is a VERY common thing it seems with all triumphs !
I had the same with the speed rs and i've seen on the forum that is happening on everything.
It seems that if they unwind out alot, they snap off.
As you say, loctite is your friend..

 

WHAT !!!! .... thank goodness you are ok and managed to sort a ‘get you home‘ repair. Not what you need or expect from a TFC machine from Triumph ... am quite shocked.

 

When it rains, it pours, as they say. Glad you're ok. The zipper failed on one of my favorite leather jackets and it cost me $40 to get replaced -worth it to repair a jacket I've had for 20 years and paid $260 for. It's tough to replace good old worn-in leather.

 

Yeah I’ve still got my favourite condom

 

And probably still in the package.

 

Yes i always use pencil lead to coat my zips.

Why replace something that ain’t broke!!?

 

Good to got it sorted, i did both our speed twins the day we picked them up. Just had a warranty letter from Triumph a few weeks ago after owning the bikes for over a year about the recall lol

 

Me too. I filled it with water and hung it on the radiator, makes a very cheap lava lamp.

 

Mind bleach over here, please, Nurse ......................................

 

I never take my bikes for a dealer service unless they are still in warranty or there’s a really good reason (like it also needs a map update or safety recall), why?, because very often they don’t do the checks they are supposed to and just charge you £150 ish to change the oil!, how do I know?, well I took my Thruxton 1200 for a service a couple of weeks ago because it has missed a map update and sidestand spring recall, a few days after I got it back from the “service” I took the front callipers off to remove the front wheel for a tyre change, all 4 calliper bolts were just nipped up, to approx 5Nm, pathetic!.

 

Yorkie, ya twat!! Wiping coffee of mi pc monitor now!!!

 

Soz mucker, al try an gi thi some warning next time

 

Thankfully not well used

 

its a triumph need to check every bolt at least once a year

 

It’s been patched up over the years

 

The moths have been at it?
