You gotta be joking right???
Did you find the throttle?

Yes, I am well aware that Bob has had a few BMs, and if Bob has a SOH, then he will take it in the manner intended
If you know I've owned a few BMW's then why ask the question?
My experience of BMW's and Triumph is that like any man made machine you will encounter issues with them, but I have had far more issues on 2 Triumphs over 50000 miles than I have had with 6 BMW's over 120000 miles. I have also received far more courteous service from BMW when I have had issues and they have been resolved without quibble. It's a shame I can't say the same about Triumph and their factory warranty department and their attitude towards their customers (in my personal experience).
It would be great to still have a Hinckley triple in my garage but I won't buy a bike from a manufacturer who treats their customers poorly and try and blame the customer for their inability to build a motorcycle properly.
It was asked in a futile attempt to use irony as a form of wit. Maybe ownership of a German bike imparts some of the Fatherlands legendary lack of a sense of humour to the owner?
(This is another attempt at humour!)
Thanks for your experiences with Triumph, more detail would be welcomed. I have never owned one, so I can't compare, I can only relate my own experiences with BMW quality and dealers over a few years of ownership. IMHO, the best customer service I have ever received in 30 odd years of motorcycling is from Harley Davidson dealers since I have had my Buell. The Buell also appears to have better quality components than my old R1150GS, (lovely bike let down by quality and finish), although the R75/6 I owned back in the 80's knocked spots off both of them!
I sold my GS and bought a Buell. Brilliant engine, great ride and handling, better comfort both solo and two-up, a very underrated bike.
I think I've seen his story on the tiger forum. Many riders in the USA seem to clock up big mileages without much trouble, maybe your pal was just unlucky.
Rode it back-to-back with my GSX-R1000 and it felt gutless for a litre bike.
