Hold onto your hat this will be a bit long winded... Wasn’t expecting to get to this for at least a week or so but had time today and went for it. I found 2 obvious problems and some other lesser but likely useful stuff. FORTUNATLY ALL ARE FIXABLE! It does not look like we have a design problem here, just some bad parts. This has been a consistent theme with these bikes. Anyway, armed with the following info I have confidence based on past experience that anyone good with their hands can make their Triumph shift well, avoid the...

Again, think you’ve failed understand my point and are hellbent on creating an argument here. The bike can win. We’ve seen that with Chase already this year. However, clearly riders are having set up issues and Kawi are unwilling to move out of the window they’ve set themselves in. Effectively limiting riders thresholds in terms of comfort and therefore performance. Don’t know how can dispute this, let alone target me for stating the obvious…. There are tools capable of undoing a bolt. There are tools more efficient at undoing a bolt. Same objective will be achieved, one with considerably less...

People seem to be missing the point repeatedly. It's not about whether the bike was good or bad or better than other bikes in that era. It's not about whether some guys could win on them. It's not about whether a guy would have had a better or worse career on a different team. It's about whether guys had freedom to try the things they wanted to try and were made to feel like their input on the bike mattered. Several guys have said that wasn't the case and from that they lost confidence, got burned out, never got the...

Did you even listen to it? Jesus fuck man.

Not to beat a dead horse, because again the trans issue is definitely a problem. But I specifically remember stating that I’m fairly confident I knew what dealer sold the bike that OP was referencing and that I have no doubts that they were dropping the ball and not Triumph on the warranty claim. I was searching around for a local shop to me and came across the same post but with a recent update from the bike owner. I hate to say I predicted the exact dealer and situation, but it’s exactly who and what I expected.

If leaving MXGP to live out his dream of racing AMA Supercross is 'quitting', then I don't think you understand what it means. And yeah, both Sexton and Marchbanks should be really proud of how their seasons are going 😂😂

Congratulations for the dumbest take on the internet, Mr. Xenophobia...

The stupid in this thread is even higher than normal for Vital

Embarrassing crashout you’re having in here. Also pretty lame you counted his dnf this weekend. After last weekend he was 7th and 2 points out of 6th. Just say you hate the guy and get it over with.

I almost bought my TF250-X from them until they screwed me around with delivery date and I bought a bike from another dealer for $1500 less that was in stock. I’m actually glad that they did that because I found a small dealership that is absolutely phenomenal to work with. These guys are owned by a large ownership group that mostly does Harley including at this location, which obviously is most of their business. KTM is the locations main off-road draw so I’m sure the Triumph off-road portion is the unloved step-child that they don’t really want to deal with...

All his other years being Champion on everything since he was on 65's and has one wonky year and suddenly he needs to prove more to you. Incredibly successful and perfect you must be 👌

just as long as he's healthy for outdoors... could make for the most epic nationals in years...

Update2- Still doesn’t have feeling below the chest. Mri showed misplaced vertebrae but none pressuring the spinal cord. Very minimal feeling if any on bottom of left foot. 0 on the right. Vitals are all good so that’s a relief. Sounds like front end washed in corner and high sided. Catching a flight early early am to catch before surgery in the morning.

Update-Displaced vertebrate. Pushing on spinal cord. Regaining some feeling. Will need surgery.

"Faster than the entire 450 class" Are we talking about different qualifying sessions again? Does that mean Kitchen is a better rider than the 450 field aswell because he had a better qualifying time other than Prado? Do you realise how much faster the track was? lol

He won 22 motos in a row
