I have experianced very little lack of respect for the Triumph name, and my dealer was great. I've been lucky. I've smoked a few Harley's and look forward to smoking more. I've had my bike on the Dragon and was amazed at the handling. I have to keep mine in a basement and it AIN"T easy getting it in and out... the low weight of the bike was the first selling point for me. (bad knee)Now the whole bike is a huge selling point in and of itself. I'm in love and plan on not ever having to replace it. Hmm, somehow I feel better having shared. ;-)
