Cowboy- It wasn't down one quart of oil out of 3.8. The only oil it has in it right now is the 1 quart I put in. And this oil was put in about 10 hours after the dealer drove it around after he delivered it to my house. I have tried a number of things, including some of what you're suggesting but nothing's worked so far. I really just fear the worst for the engine. It had no oil in it until I put in the 1 quart. That just can't be good for the engine.
Sandman - That's what I'm hoping for in truth. I do still love this bike and wouldn't mind another one... fully checked by me and an independent mechanic or two before anyone drives it.
The dealer is South Bay Triumph. Like I said before, they've been beyond great. Until now. We'll see what happens tomorrow.
Thanks everyone- you've been fantastic and supportive.
