[Wayne]

But wait for it, drum roll please !!!!
PORT ELIZABETH has none

Bummer

I have got to get over to Daytona and check the new Tiger out. The Orlando metro area no longer has a Triumph dealership.

 

[DaveM]

Wayne I don't know why you even bother about that place it is useless. The day they took over the Honda dealer across the road I popped into see what it was all about (on the Honda side) I took a walk across to see the new showroom that they had on the Triumph side. Started speaking to the sales guy and told him I was very interested in the Tbird and the Tiger but could not make up my mind. He took down my details and was going to phone me when the Tiger was launched. well I am still waiting to hear if the Tiger has been launched :y114:

 

[Wayne]

I hear you Dave. Although I have no intention of buying the new Tiger,it would of been nice to look at it and pat it.

If Auto Motorcycles was the last Triumph dealer on earth I would be forced to buy a Harley Davidson :ya2:

 

[DaveM]

I would even think about getting one of these in that case :y114:

 

[CarlS]

I don't think you guys like that dealership. :y114:

 

[DaveM]

Not that you would notice Carl h:

 

[dazco]

Don't feel bad....no one in the states seems to have them. At least none around here. Me no care, but just sayin'.

 

[CarlS]

Dale, I haven't found one here either. I am sure the demo truck will have one or two during Bike Week.

 

[DaveM]

You guys have a demo truck ........... what's that h: :y114:

I went to the midwest motorcycle show near Chicago today and Triumph was there his year and they had 2 tigers there. no riding of course but they were quite impressive. I think one had a trunk in place of the passenger's seat. It was one busy place.

No demo rides on the new Tigers? I hope that will not be the case in Daytona Beach in a couple of weeks.

 

[Simmer]

We no longer have a Triumph dealer in our area. We have to go way east or over the mountains to the People's D. R. of Washington to see anything.

Dave :angry: :angry:

Dave, I live in the Orlando metro area. The nearest Triumph dealership is in Daytona Beach which is about 50-55 miles. The next closest is Gainesville or Tampa; both are about 75-80 miles. The dealership in Daytona is good. It is a long established BMW dealership. When the Triumph dealership at Destination Daytona closed, the BMW dealership picked up the franchise along with the Ducati franchise.

 

[Simmer]

Well Carl, they are closer than any in my state. I will have to order parts on-line, which won't be all that bad.

Oh, I'm not complaining. When I lived Bunnell, it was 83 miles one way to the dealer in Jacksonville where I bought my T100. At they time there were two dealerships in the Orlando metro area, both owned by the same company. It was bout 78 miles one way to the closer of the two. I went there to look at the Bonneville, cash in hand. After 25 minutes, no had bothered to ask if they could help me. They were all talking crotch rockets with a couple of guys. I walked and never went back. Both of those dealerships are gone now. Orlando metro is much larger than Daytona Beach, four times the population, and it has no Triumph dealership.
