Triumples Triple Failure...

Paging Thatch to the Triumph defending phone.

Thank you

and as for Chotu-Mama... umm what are you talking about? I don't have a relationship with my dad. I talk to him less than I talk to my wall (I'm being sarcastic, not literal). I don't have a relationship with my dad. I don't even like my dad. I respect him because I know he is wiser, older, smarter and knows mechanics more than I do... so next time you want to talk crap... use your brain. At least come up with something that is funny and intelligent... my daddy told me guys have a penis... dude... that isn't anywhere in the same ballpark as a dad telling his son about a fucking triple cylinder engine so shut up.
 
I think your dad would have quite a few owners of triple cylindered engines that would disagree with him on this. Including quite a few motorcycle race winners.

Yeah, man. Those old K75 BMW's had a reputation for not lasting more than 300,000 miles!

oh, I'm sorry guys, I apologize. I apologize that I don't know about every god damned bike ever created. Good grief. I try to be helpful with the information I have been provided. I try to be open minded about that my dad could be wrong (and I figured he probably would be, but I didn't rule out him being rwong at all) and all I get is faggots and dicks being sarcastic, unhelpful, and rude... READ ALL OF THE FREAKING POSTS BEFORE YOU RANT AND RAVE ABOUT WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW.

apparently, give me links to it so I can show him instead of making an ass of yourself and just being all talk and not doing a thing about it.

ok...this has to be the best thread ever :laughing

why? because I stated something I heard in a honest means to be helpful and seek out the truth and every barfer turns out to be an ass when someone is misinformed?

why? what do you mean? because I enjoy a good argument and everybody so far just bags on things they don't know w/o sufficient evidence and I prove to them how stupid they really are?

Well, you stated that triples shouldn't be made as a fact and that didn't sit well with people who know more about the engine and it's history than your Dad (regardless of a degree).



Then proceeded to call everyone names (which will probably get a warning from the mods for a TOS violation).



Don't take this the wrong way, but what did you expect? I mean, this IS the Internet...

dammit brandon...STFU :shhh leave it. its funnier when he doesnt know.
 
You know,

My dad is smart and an engineer.

but the endless stream of misinformed crap that he spews drives me absolutely batshit.

Time didn't stop in the '40s and '50s when they got their education. They just think it did.

Do your own research.
 
Go on google and search for Kawi H3, Triumph Slippery Sam or Triumph Trident, BSA Hurricane, BMW engine reliability, etc.

You came on here and made a blanket statement with nothing to back it up other than what your dad told you. If you had posted this on any of the Triumph forums, you would have already have had your ass handed to you. Be happy that barf is such a nice friendly site.

By the way, my failure of a triple has done over 16K miles in 7 months without even a valve adjustment. I don't know what I was thinking buying such an unreliable bike. Next time I'll definitely go buy a cookie cutter inline 4 like everyone else, they never have problems. :rolleyes
 
I think this thread is too funny.

squirrls- for someone 'claiming' to be asking a genuine question, you sure get your panties in a bunch too quickly.

Perhaps it would be easier if you got your dad to join the forum and ask himself..

We don't want you mis-interpreting information back to him.

I've read some solid answers to your questions here, and you call Thatch an ass?

Pot to kettle - you're black.

Dood! You just did this! :laughing

Damn - no MoJo either...
 
has anyone else been reading this thread and gotten the feeling that squirrls has major issues with his father?

"my dad my dad my dad my dad"

yeah, I should have stated that I wasn't sure of this to be true... the title is misleading, I just wanted people to read the thread and figured if it sounded like i was seriously bashing triumph then I'd turn a few heads.

What did I expect? I don't know, maybe a few bashings, but on how I'm wrong, not my innocent dad who is just misinformed due to my own stupidity. Bashing doesn't bug me, but of all the bashing I get one or I think maybe two actual posts with an answer that showed proof. Sorry, saying you have a degree and then not explaining sufficiently why or showing me an example doesn't do crap... for anybody.

If you don't speak up, I'm not going to believe that you're ever anything more than a shandy drinking twat that prefers to ride side saddle. :twofinger
