Triumphrat

I bought my Thruxton (made in Thiland and not England like I was lead to believe) in Fresno California in May 2007. Was not impressed when I had to educate the sales person about the bike he was selling to me. I also ran out of gas 6 miles after leaving the dealer and the front and rear tires had a combined pressure of 23 psi. Not impressed. I could not even get a t-shirt tossed in with the deal. They have just opened a huge beautiful new show room with a service area larger than the entire old dealer but is it better? I have never heard anything good about this place but taking my bike to the Triumph dealer in San Diego or some other place was not an option. I took the Thrux in for a oil leak(s) and 10 days later I call them to see what is going on and I get told they will call me back because they have no idea what I'm talking about. I get no call so I call them back "oh yeah, it's done come and get it". I get there and they pull the bike out and running for me and on their new freshly poured concrete drips the same pattern of oil from my made in Thiland Triumph. I point this out and I get told, I'm not making this up, that all Triumph twins leak oil. Oh really. Sorry fellas but I'm parking my not made in England Triumph that leaks oil and I'm dusting off the ZRX for a ride. I'm not botherd about the oil leak but I am HOT about my VIN with a "T" in it. Made in England it says. What ever. My Ford was made in Mexico and I hate it too. At least my Kawasaki was made in Japan like advertised.
