I am with you on the dealer thing. I think alot of it is due to the ammount of people riding our bikes. My dealer sells more modern triumphs than classics. They also are a BMW dealer and seem to be catering to a different crowd. The info and aftermarket parts on this site can help you customize your ride. You don't need the stinkin' dealer. As for the sound you are speaking of, I have forgotton about that sound due to my pipes. Our bikes sound better with a little less back pressure (alot less on mine).
