This is good information....surprises me though. I know that Cycle Riders of Orlando/Longwood has gotten a bad rep (Moe can confirm this). Cycle Riders of Orlando/Longwood has changed to "RideNow Powersports". Anyway, I have just purchased a 2000 Thunderbird, and it has some issues...I would have taken it to a shop, but since I don't have much faith in the Triumph shops here in Orlando, I may just try out Mike...If I do, I'll let him know you spoke highly of him...or maybe I'll mess with it myself. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find a website like this one dedicated to the classic triples...
