Any good Triumph forums around?
« on: September 11, 2006, 07:55:08 AM »
...picked up a 69 T100R on Saturday.  Looking for a decent tech forum so I can do some wrenching on this thing.  I always heard triumphs vibrated...but this is rediculous!!!

You could try www.bikersoracle.com  It's UK based and has 10k+ members in the VFR section.  There is a triumph section but I've never looked at it.

www.triumphrat.net is probably the biggest and best. Nice bike! I wanted a Triumph before I got this Honda, but I think I might have unwittingly made the better choice.
