Hi All,

I'm planning to buy a Tiger 955 when I come back to the UK in the summer. I could go pretty much anywhere in the country but Midlands would probably be easiest. Soooooo... who's the best dealer?

I bought a Trophy12 in 1992 and was treated like a complete idiot by the dealer (not Midlands). So much so that, in the end, I disconnected the speedo, clipped a cycling speedo to the mirror and serviced the bike myself. Me and the big Trofe did 10 years together before I cried nuff and got a Thundercat. I'm just about ready to return to the Triumph fold, where should I go?

Be cool,
Dave

I'll ditto Windy Corner as well

My bench for people who own bikes shops??,what do they do on a sunday off,you'll find Roger Winterburn at Mallory,or building his Drixton race bikes or happyly walking around Classic bikes shows,the shop and the people there are a real class act.

And close enough to the factory to have an underground tunnel!!!

Thanks Chaps, I'll keep an eye on the dealers you've mentioned. There are some nice s/hand 955s in the Bristol dealers. Does anyone have any comments on those? I plan to be back in the UK in late April and I'm guessing not much will move in the meantime, what with the cold and everything.

Be, erm, cool, :wink:
