Some of you might have read my feeling about my Triumph dealer in Erie, Pa. in another thread. I should have saved it for this thread. For the rest of you I will fill you in. I bought a new Triumph America in April 2012, and absolutely feel in love with it. On July 6th I totaled the bike. A car turned in front of me. It’s been 7 weeks and I’m doing fine. Now for the dealer I wanted the same bike again. He agreed to get me one with all the modifications I had on the original one. But for 2 ½ weeks he wouldn’t come up with an OTD price. I made an appointment to sit down and discuss the price. For 2 hours he played the car new car dealer games. He went back and forth for 2 hours with still no price. I finally left. We spoke the next Friday. He informed me he would stop by my house on the way home and have the price for me, but he’d call when he was on his way. Guess what? He never called or showed up. That was the last I would deal with them. Did I over react? I don’t think so. I ordered 2013 HD XL1200 Sportster, with an OTD price with in an hour. We all have our preferences on what we like to ride. But when all is said and done, it’s just about the ride and how we all enjoy it.
