Bonneville America Forums Forums Off Topic Discussion Forums Lounge How far is a Triumph service center from you?

guess i'm lucky having 3 dealerships within 30 miles, tho i've only used the one futhest away so far. pity i can't use the factory cos thats nearest

Nearest dealer - 50 miles - but I wouldn't get service there after the service manager told me he hadn't ever heard of warped rotors on our bikes. I bought mine used at 1,200 miles on it. Love that first deep depreciation. It took nearly an entire month of May daylight stretch to go get it at near Canadian border of VT, and bring it home on a pickup. In CT, no title = no reg, and so the pickup truck.

There's a local guy who has been a motorcycle mechanic for over 30 years and works out of his home garage now for $50 an hour. He did the tire swap for me at 2?,000 miles for $40 for two wheels. After reading some of the dealer service horror stories and the local going rate of $90 an hour, it's doubtful a dealer will ever touch my bike for anything but heavy warranty work.

Dealership - 45 Minutes north
Chy's place - 20 Minutes North of there

I bought my 07 America in Missouri, over 500 miles away. The closest dealer to me is about a hour and a half from me. Those guys tried to tell me that an 07 America was an 08 and thats all I needed to not buy from them.
However, there is no finer place for service than Baxter Cycle in Marne IA. There is a mechanic named Gus that is beyond awesome.

I have 2 within an hour and a half,one in baltimore the other in harrisburg pa.I bought my america from Martins motor sports which is about 2 and a 1/4 hrs from me.I brought it home in an eight foot enclosed uhaul trailer.
