To Dazco and Arkyrider, I did go back to Daytona today and - no Triumph demo truck. Reading this thread https://www.triumphtalk.com/index.php/topic,4142.msg25079/topicseen.html#new, Bike week officially kicked off today; but several big displays will not happen until Monday - Honda, HD, and Triumph. It will be Thursday at the earliest and maybe Saturday before I fight the crowd and go back over there. I tried guys. I even had a friend check at Destination Daytona to make sure the demo truck had not set up there.

:y24: :y24: :y24: :y24: No problem Carl. Actually I spent abit of time locating and talking to a couple of dealers. Closet is 2 1/2 hrs. away. From what he was saying triump is only taking orders now and didn't expect any TB for dealer stock until late July of early August at the soonest ( the special orders will be in between the middle to end of June) .He did say that could change without much notice, he also said he'd like to get one for a demo before that. He did mention that Triumph wants a $500 deposit to order one (both dealers said that) but the closet dealer said he'd order one in for a $100 nonrefundable deposit He'd pay the other $400 (the other dealer wanted the whole $500). Both dealers said they've had alot of interest about the TB but they've gotten only two deposits each so far. I was close to giving the man a $100 deposit , but I told him I've got a reliable source in florida checking out the TB at the triumph demo truck and am awaiting valuable intel until making a final decision :y114:
The dealer may be wrong on the date. everything i read said late june, then when i called triumph to ask about that picture i asked about the date and they told me same thing. So in th U.S. it's supposed to be here late june. But as much as i'm looking forward to it i would never put money down on a bike i haven't seen, and preferably ridden. i bought my speedy w/o a test ride but thats because i had no bike license. But at least i'd seen it and read all about it on the forums from the people who had them. I also worry about it being a new model. That is another consideration that will figure into my decision, and theres a good chance i will end up with my 2nd speedmaster instead then wait a year or 2 and see how the Tbird fares. It all rides on just how floored or not i am with the Tbird.
The truck is there. It is in a very different area of the speedway away from the main stream manufacturers. My buddy found it last night - after it was close. The weather is terrible here today; so I will definitely not be going back today.
You've put me thru the ringer my friend. :ya2:
