You hit the nail on the head Trypcil! That's the exact kind of shop I'm looking for and I think I found it at Cycle Barn...just looking for confirmation from others.

For example last summer, I was out on a ride (far from home/dealer) when the digital speedo crapped out and the "engine management light" came on. As this is my first Triumph and I knew of their past electrical problems, I immediately pulled over and called my dealer (Cycle Barn) for advice. The bike was running fine otherwise, but I just wanted to know if it would be fine to ride it back home without causing further/any damage.

I explained the problem to Perry and he recommended that I check for a loose battery connection and if that didn't fix the problem, to bring it up and they'd run a diagnostic check. Sure enough, the battery terminals were loose (fixed the speedo issue), but the EML stayed on. I took it in and was without my bike for a couple days (the line at the computer was long), and cost me an hours labor, but they cleared out the fault code and downloaded the latest tune.
