Here ya go. I see gouging, you guys are all the same, gouging again, robber baron, dang; gouging again, not sure why Brent's the same as the dealer but he's still a faceless entity, all your bikes are cookie-cutter, they're smart; we're dumb, again with they're smart; we're dumb, and once again....... that pesky cookie-cutter!!


  • Obviously brent can charge whatever he wants cause the other company aint putting out a seat like his
  • But you get all the triumphs in a group and you'll see the very definition of cookie cutter
  • basically cause we all shop at the same 2-3 places and get gouged the same prices
  • This guys knows you'll pay whatever he wants bottom line
  • Hes not competing with anyone, why would he keep his profits modest?
  • He was a faceless entity who wanted your money that you worked for. That guy is the same guy as brent.
  • The fact is that our own bikes look the same cause we all shop from the same place.
  • or course theyre smart..they got all you guys to be totally loyal in buying from them
  • You can pay them, and that will make you look smarter at the end of the day
  • you'll have the same exact bike as everyone that rides a triumph




Alright lets blow this more out of proportion here..haha..

I dont really think these are personal attacks here but lets review them....

-Obviously brent can charge whatever he wants cause the other company aint putting out a seat like his

Is there anyone making seats like his? NO...theres no competition for him to make his cheaper right? So If someone wants his seat they'll have to pay his price right? Yes...How is that an attack?

-But you get all the triumphs in a group and you'll see the very definition of cookie cutter

Well? think about it, if there is on a small number of companies making parts for us, and we're all buying those parts, how is anyone gonna be different? We all bash harleys cause theyre the standard bike pretty much, but they have like 150 different styles of seats, pipes, tanks..etc. cause they have more manufacturers. Of course after this discussion I realized that in order for you to have 150 seats to choose from, you need sales like harley, which makes triumph an everyday bike like harley, its a catch 22..still not personal

-basically cause we all shop at the same 2-3 places and get gouged the same prices

See above, same deal..i think the word gouge is a bit harsh, maybe a little careless...i sometimes associate the word gouge with people that have to buy movie theater food because of their policies with outside food and drink...yeah they have a reason for it, but you have to admit its pretty sweet for the movie theater.

-This guys knows you'll pay whatever he wants bottom line

Okay, i was exaggerating there a little, im sure no one would pay $500 for the freak kit...or would they? I dont know cause guys are pretty into having more power to impress their friends....am i right fellas?..haha

-Hes not competing with anyone, why would he keep his profits modest?

If you were the only in the world that could make a device that transforms water into gasoline. Would you keep the price just above what it cost you...or would charge what the people are willing to pay? of course... what theyre willing to pay. Did anyone ask you what you were willing to pay for something?...no, they told you what you needed to pay...id be in the same boat as well, im not denying it, you are

-He was a faceless entity who wanted your money that you worked for. That guy is the same guy as brent.

I can see how you'd misunderstand that, at this point everyone was posting something and i was trying to keep up. What I said basically is that the owner of that car dealership is a faceless entity that wants your money. and thats why you dont care about his profits, cause hes a faceless entity...but when youre friends with the guy, like you are with brent, then you dont see him as a guy that wants your money...but in all actuallity he does want your money...he runs a business....i want your money too..ahha

-The fact is that our own bikes look the same cause we all shop from the same place.

The third time i said it? still didnt click i guess...notice how i said "we" in there...i think someone back there was trying to say i thought my bike is original, theres like 10 of them just like it...maybe thats what confuses people..im not completely black or white on a subject?...i dont know

-or course theyre smart..they got all you guys to be totally loyal in buying from them

judging my this thread....pretty loyal actually...i know if i was running a business i'd want everyone to be my friend...they wont shop anywhere else right?...Now look, when i say stuff like this im not actually accusing brent of doing this, i dont have any proof, im just not denying that its possible like you all are.

-You can pay them, and that will make you look smarter at the end of the day

Now this one was taken out of a post where i was being a bit more direct...only because the poster was being pretty direct with me...I know i cant call myself innocent, but if you read both our posts you'd see. It wasnt really aimed at the whole site or anything at least..haha

-you'll have the same exact bike as everyone that rides a triumph


Again, this goes with the same story for the others really...how will your bike be different if theres only like 3 sets of pipes out there for you?

So theres the list...you took the time to gather all those up, so i figured i owed you...lets keep it going...i still didnt see the "robber baron" remark though
