2005: “I drove with at a very low speed (about 22 MPH), when the frame of my brand new Triumph Speed Triple (2 months old, driven about 1,300 miles) broke parallel on both sides. I lost control over the bike and crashed into a bus. I was seriously injured (broken scapula, torn ligament at the left foot) and still under medical treatment, after 4 months! An expertise revealed that the frame definitely broke before the accident! Triumph pretends that this is the first case of a broken frame - I got notice of another frame incident last month in germany where the frame broke at exactly the same place. …”
