Anyone who is a constant "tinkerer" with an older Triumph,didn't know how to
build them correctly in the first place!Don't forget,this is coming from someone
who has operated 2 Motorcycle businesses(two towns)My motorcycle of choice is a later 60's-early 70's Triumph twin.A triple cylinder,is just one more
cyl,carbuerator,pts,spark plug,etc,to mess with for the same power!I,personally,don't like twocycle engines because they derive thier power from
RPMs & not torque.(translation-shorter eng life)Also I used to Drag Race motorcycles,so if it wasn't neccessary & wieghed anything-it wasn't on my
bike!Now everyone builds bikes for comfort.I don't knock it but as I've always said-Different strokes for different folks!I've put thousands of miles on with a hardtail,raked frame & extended front end! Irish
P.S.Two weekends ago,my wife & I,went to an Open House at a Triumph
Dealer.The prices are outrageous!My wife bought me a new Triumph T-shirt!
