I never owned a Triumph myself, that incident I talked about eariler was the ONLY time I ever rode one, It was my buddies. My bike, a BSA Super Rocket, was in for a refit and the guy who owned the Triumph had no licence so I drove and he came along on the pillion. It was the LAST time I rode his bike and the LAST time he rode with me . .LMAO
We were both VERY lucky, a 90mph blowout on a major highway is NOT fun, but managed to hold control of the bike untill we hit the hard shoulder of the road, which turned out to be a SOFT shoulder lucky for us, nice long wet grass, saved our ass ! .. lol
