I have an 02 BA which I dearly love. However, dealer is 31/2 hours away. To take it to shop,return home, go back an pick it up is 14 hours.
So I went out last Thursday an bought an 02 Harley Low Rider which I had been trying to buy for one month.
I love both bikes but I can get service local on the Harley. I am not going to sell my BA. It is loaded with chrome,Bub Pipes, etc. Owner of Harley had $21,000 invested in it an I bought it for $13,500. I was offered $15,000 for it yesterday. It is a beautiful bike. $4,100 of chrome !!!!!
No one in my area wants a Triumph because we do not have local dealer. We have Harley,Honda,Kal., Yamaha, Victory, etc. you name it but no Triumph.
We have one of the largest bike weeks twice a year here with approx. 350,000 motorcycles an you think there would be a Triumph dealer located in the immediate area.
Maybe someday !!!!!
