2 new Harleys on the block

Had 2 guys on my block asking me about my Rocket. They both wanted new bikes. Although I really like my Rocket, I steered them away because I wont lie, the lack of support has really weighed heavy on me. 9 weeks and still cant get basic parts that most any dealer with a service dept should have. How are we supposed to keep our bikes seviced and running? I could not get the oil drain washers because they have to order them, maybe 2 weeks to get. Lucky I just wanted them for later. Anyways, they both bought Harleys over the weekend.

Let me start off with the laffy faces and say I'd steer my mates away from the Rockets just like you did and for the same reason. The truthful reason. I ain't havin those sons-a *ithches passing me on the road. I'm the Big Dog round chere. Go buy you turd azz Harley and let me show you who's the king of the road.

I have not had any problem getting routine parts.

I know thats an option, but my point is, if Triumph cant get the basic parts to the dealers, how long will it take to get something else. I can just see taking my bike in for its first service, to stay within warranty, and get told it will take 2 to 3 weeks.
Like I said, I love the bike, its just the support after the sale, everypart I have bought has been online because the dealer cant get it.
Im sure some dealers are alot better, but this is the only dealer I have within a 350 mile round trip.

I really liked my 09 95" stage 3 HD Street Bob. It ran like a top and pretty quick along with a nice tone from the exhaust. The problem was at only 5'9" and at the time 200 lbs I looked like I was on a scooter. Great bike though just too small for me. I put it up for sale and a 5' tall 35 year old lady bought it as her and hubby were HD riders. Not a huge fan of the spoke wheels but It was an all round good bike. It would have kept up with my Rocket at a standing start for the first foot or maybe foot and a half.

My wife told me I was to big for my Fatbob. At 6’2” and 210 pounds she said I looked like a monkey humping a football. The Rocket makes me look like a thin fit teen.
