help...

i'm not sure what to do?....? my wife is hogging the computer, hooked on her 'triumph' forum. she loves my vfr but is seriously considering some sort of triumph sport-tourer (sprint rs or st) :crazy:!! anyone have this problem/solution?

 

Four step process...

1. Get another computer.
2. Support her Triumph purchase and let her get used to it.
3. Then let her ride your viffer.
4. Help her sell the Triumph and get another VFR.

:thumbsup:

 

i showed her this response. i think she's gonna copy/paste this on her crazy 'triumph' forum. i sense a war...:2guns:

 

Triumph, are you for real? at least get a FJR.

 

Kind of always wanted a Triumph Street Triple or Speed Triple. Love that triple!

 

Log into the router, block all sites that she accesses that have anything to do with Triumph. Problem solved.

 

OH wow, I'd say let her go at, then trade rides now and then. Not to rain on the VFR but the ST is pretty nice, I'd say she's a smart gal and hang on tight. She''ll see the light later. just cool to read there are wife's out there that like this sort of thing.

and I'll second the second computer thing.

 

IMO the triumph sprint ST 1050 is a viable alternative to the 6th Gen VFR.

Ive ridden one and have to say it was great.

let her get one and then you can enjoy it too...(i recommend caspian blue).

 

i have to agree w/you about the how nice the trumpets are. she has a daytona 675 (crappy for touring) and it's great on the right roads or track. the I-3 makes a fantastic sound just diff. from the v-4. anything is better than 'potato, potato, potato, ad nauseum...

 

Sell wife and Triumph.
Get hot girlfriend with VFR.

Your welcome, glad I could help.:thumbsup:

 

Cheap laptop, wireless router, good security software and you're golden.

As for the triple...well, some people just can't be helped. :frown:

Just kidding! :tongue: Triumphs are nice bikes, but watch out for heat being dumped on the legs on the ST. I think newer models are better on that issue, but from what I've heard fit and finish is still a notch below Honda.

When I was shopping for my VFR a few yrs. ago I came across a leftover Daytona 955i. Nice bike and it did intrigue me for a week or so.

 

thanks?!.. my wife caught me paused at this thread and the next thing i know, i'm getting up off the floor and she's standing over me with a cast iron skillet! pm me next time!

btw, she now has an '02 tornado red triumph sprint st. it really is a nice bike....for a triumph

Hello. I'm the wife. Sparky can't get up this time. You'll be dealing with me and my Triumph clan from now on. BTW, the Sprint smoked the VFR!

 

since she is cheating on you, I would wait till she gets in her escalade, and beat the windows with a 5 iron and pretend you had nothing to do with it when she hits the tree at the end of the driveway.

 

Everybody run, we're all screwed now, lol...

Hi wifey, welcome to the riding world...even if you are on an inferior bike, it's better than no bike.

 

awesome, post up a pic of the red rocket with the VFR.

did you go for the hard bags with it?

 

i've managed to get up off the floor to take a few pics of our bikes together. mines the good looking bike...hers is the red one :biggrin:. my photos are in the gallery. i don't know how to get the photos to the threads. luddite, me.

 

Ouch!!!

Sparky,next time duck.:chairshot:

Since she's giving you a bit of sass about her Sprint smoking your VFR,walk casually out to the garage and unplug one of her spark plug wires.
Leave it hanging loosely on the spark plug.
She won't be so smug about her Triumph's power advantage anymore.:wink::biggrin:

And dude,fer da cripes sakers whatever you do don't let her see my post either. :scared:
My noggin's allergic to cast iron skillets too! LOL.ound:ound:ound:

 

sparkys rides



ok, here we go then.

i see the trumpet is a 955i sprint with the hard bags ....nice.

 

That yellow bike is beautiful. Didn't you say there was a red one in the pic somewhere?
