Yes, they should. They aren't, but they should. I can't even get them to LOOK at the back of the bike, you know? I can barely get them to answer the phone.
I was thinking about getting some Sport Demons. Do you have them? I honestly prefer the look of the LaserTecs, but hey, if the Pirelli's track better, I'm sold.
The mechanic told me he was "hoping" to get to the bike this weekend. Neat. It's been sitting there for almost two weeks and he "hopes" he can get a head bearing in in another week or so.
These bikes are very cool looking. I love the brand image. I really get the heritage thing. But man, if ANYONE ever tells me that Triumph stands by their product or that they are a "good company", I'm just going to burst out laughing. They are a good company just so long as you are giving them thousands of dollars. The second THEY screw up, you go to the bottom of their priority list. I was all ready to be Mr. Triumph. Now people ask me where my bike is and I'm almost ashamed to say it's still in the shop. "Isn't it a brand new bike?" they almost always reply. It's frankly kind of humiliating. And if there's one thing I'm sure of, Peter Carleo doesn't care about that at all.
