Don't know who he was. Some bloke on their NEC stand years ago ( I was with RM, G and a couple of others). I dealt with Peter Clarke over my Street R warranty issue though (Swepc!$% was out of the office - he'd told my dealer I was welcome to call him, but neglected to mention that he was just on his way out for a 2 week holiday) - what an obnoxious arrogant c!$%. Wouldn't budge an inch and wasn't remotely interested in any kind of goodwill gesture. The bike was under warranty, but he was insistent the problem was my fault, and said they'd be happy to go to court over it. Thoroughly objectionable and unpleasant c!$% :thumbdown:


Couldn't agree more he must have cost Triumph 100's if not 1000's of lost sales over the way he has treated people.

:lol: You need to upgrade. The wave is like a ripple (not the chocolate kind, lol) that goes up (or down, depending on which you fancy) the shaft, like a wave, lol.

I have to now, lol, you asked. I bought it as a present for a certain ex, after she went to an Ann Summers party and said she wanted one. We finished just after, so I was stuck with it, lol. I did think about sending it to her on her birthday with a card saying "Happy birthday, go f!$% yourself.", but as much as that amused me, I figured she'd get the last laugh....

So, it sat in my drawer until my last gf came along, and she luuuuuurved it, lol. It became known as the Amazing Make (Insert name here) Cum Quick Machine, lol... :lol:

Funny thing Captain does Mark Swepson really exist I've been to loads of Triumph events and factory visits and asked to meet him several times so I could tell him what a twat he was, but every time he's never been in his office or off on holiday or off sick.
Is he just the phatom fall guy for the warranty dept.

I knew a girl who worked for Persimion Homes in their snagging dept all 6 girls worked under 5 different names so the customer could never speak to the same person when they called to complain and 50 to 75% just used to give up.

By the way Pete Clarke is a super bloke :thumbup::smile::thumbup:

Suprised Pete is a proper biker I've done sevral trips round Europe with him and his wife Lyn before and after he got his job at the factory.

He's an all round good guy I've not seen him for a while but we are good mates he normally very helpful and a 100% Triumph man .

He wasn't remotely interested in helping me, despite the bike being under warranty. I found him hugely arrogant, disinterested and beligerant. :thumbdown:

a misinformed person:
Italian prices (specifically Ducati) are well above triumph. That doesn't make the triumph costs any easier to swallow though


Sprag clutch for a 749s is £170 inc vat......last time I looked...so how does £18 equate to 'well above'????:smirk:

But for the Aprilia you have to reverse the sprags. Roy at REPS Performance centre was the first in Britain to suss out the F650 connection :thumbup:
