Another dealer that sucks ass!!!!!!!!!!! You would think Triumph would be concerned about this type of situation. Arn't these so called "Triumph" specialist supposed to represent the manufacturer?????????? I can tell ya from my experience out here in SoCal with the dealer I bought mine from, I will not be going back to any dealer!!! Found myself a great independent mech for those things i cannot (or would rather not) do myself.

Maybe this situation with crappy/unprofessinal dealers needs to be brought to Triumphs attention............or maybe they already know and they just don't care.

you just have to hope for every bad dealer there are 10 good ones. Great Bay has treated me pretty well so far. Little far of a drive for you chaps, though :wink:

Like a charm, and Micky pulled out a bunch of other stock crap and said it was going to run a hell of alot better.

So things are awesome, and thanks for your help and advice bro..... :-D

I have seen some of the issues from both sides and even at what I think of as some very good dealers,***** happens. Good Mechanics come and go, get fired or show up the one day you have your bike in for work and they have a hangover. When you can find an independant that you can trust you have something of great value. His reputation is on the line every time. His boss, (himself ) won't accept BS answers. Downside? not much, if he goes on vacation you wait until he gets back, but most independants can never afford to go on vacation. I trust my dealer, but I go over every nut and bolt when I get home. Too many miles on my '70 with stuff falling off. I get paranoid.

Exactly!!! I live about 3 min. (as the Triple flys) from there. And will never take my bike there. I dont know about anyone else's experience but, So. Cal Triumph and Ducati (Brea) know there stuff and their service has always been more than acceptable.
