Perhaps, but it's a nice form of insanity ! I think it's very doable (I do
it year-round, but my commute is only about 200 miles/week) as long as you
don't mind arriving at work with wind blown hair and a smile on your face.
The key is regular maintenance. Triumphs are definitely higher maintenance
than modern cars. I use modern lubricants, and stretch my service intervals
out to 5K miles for oil change (changing filter every time), 10K for a
complete lube, inspection and tune-up. I wouldn't try to go any further
than that.
