I am dealing the cards ive been dealt. If i could buy a new bike today i would aand it wouldn't be a Triumph. I dont think fuming over being screwed around for parts for over a month is even remotely unreasonable, regardless of age. my bike is well maintained. I had a 1990 brougham that i fixed on the fly walking to autozone every time. never waited for parts. Had a 2000 Volvo which was even easier to get parts for. Never waited once. that car is gone now through no fault of my own and I'm happy to use my bike but Triumph only loves me if i buy something NEW TODAY. if it wrent for dedicated britbike fanatics there'd be a lot of british junk out there. Kinda sad.
This is a new way of doing business that presumes a partnership pf sorts. its yuppie ******. I don't see how any mc enthusiast/biker/rider/anyone who supports independence could support it.
