Well my boy bought a new Triumph, not what I would have bought but at least he bought a Triumph. He bought a brand new leftover 2009 675 Daytona. We drove from the Pittsburgh area out to Clinton Cycles in Maryland (near DC and Andrews AFB) The place is pretty big and they sell Triumphs and a couple other Jap brands. He got a good deal on the bike and then they added the freight and setup fees to that which was still a good deal but not as good as it started out. I don't know if anyone else lives near or purchased their bike from Clinton Cycles but that place is a ZOO! They have tons of people working there and we stood around for an hour before we ever spoke to the salesman that knew we would be there at 1:00. Then they said that they would not release the bike without a check in hand even after we had all the documents from USAA (Bank in Texas for military). I told them I could go buy a brand new $50,000 vehicle without any money ever changing hands and leave with the vehicle. They said NO! I complained and argued for over an hour and told them I wanted to speak to the manager. Once I spoke to the manager and told him that the bank (USAA) was overnighting the check and it would be there the following day, he said no problem, USAA is a great bank and he never had any issues with them. So OK I figured we should be out of there soon, that was at 3:00. Next they said they are charging the battery. We walked around for another hour. An hour later they called us into an office and finished filling out the rest of the paper work. OK should be ready to go now. NOPE! They were still prepping the bike. So we walked around for another hour killing time. My patience was very short by this time. The main reason I wanted to get out of there early was because of the rush hour traffic around DC and Baltimore! 6:30 we were finally on our way home, we still had some rush hour traffic to deal with at that time but I am sure it could have been a lot worse (I have experienced it). We arrived back at home at 11:45 after only making a couple quick stops for fuel and one quick meal. Needless to say I would NOT go out of my way to ever go back there. Has anyone else had dealings with them? Anyway I am proud to see my boy want and buy a Triumph even though it is a crotch rocket. Clinton Cycles Triumph
