I've just googled that dealership and it's exactly what I thought it would turn out to be....one of the motorcycle "superstores", that carry Honda, Yamaha, Ducati AND Triumph!



And that there is where the problem lies. Nothing wrong with Carls bike. Or nothing that a half decent mechanic couldn't fix pretty easily.

These motorcycle supercenters are great if you want to look at lots of different bikes under one roof and maybe save a buck or two. But dont ever expect them to do a good job after the deal is struck. For these places its all about getting merchandise out of the door. Give me a local one or two brand dealership any day. I prefer to spend a little extra and have good service than save a buck and regret it later.

I wouldn't give up on the Triumph just yet Carl. Let some of the more knowlegeable people on here steer you in the right direction, get the bike sorted and then re-avaluate the your Triumph. Once you get that bike running like she should then you will see what a great machine you have.
