I actually feel slightly guilty that I didn't buy my new Tiger from RPM. I went down there several times, Steve was out with foot problems, and we relayed negotiations through the others there in the shop.

The problem was, I really didn't want the $1k in accessories Triumph is currently offering, and I was hoping they could knock 6-700 off the price without them. RPM couldn't do it, and I understand why. So I went to Evansville where they could.

The dealership in Evansville is huge and sells 4 different brands. I'm sure they just ordered the $1k in accessories from Triumph and turned around and sold them to make up the difference. RPM is just too small and has too little overhead to pull something like that unfortunately.

That said, RPM is where I will be going for all the service on my new Tiger. They've worked on other bikes for me before and I've always had outstanding service. And they've fixed problems other bike mechanics never could.
