Hello forum members My name is Darin From philly. Just purchased a 2007 phantom black rocket 3(the best color for a muscle bike:cool:). Hope to have informed discussions with you all.
 
I go to Dware a lot. Have some friends In Bear off of rt 40. Quick question do you use the local dealer here in Manyunk, and if so good or bad experience.
 
No, I should try them, I bought the bike in Dover .... takes a month to get an apt and they usually cannot find the problem. I don't recomend them. Let us know how the dealer up there is.
 
It's a Triumph only dealer, pretty good guys from what i can tell so far. They are actually moving down the street to a bigger location. Prices for labor don't seem too outrageous , 80 an hour. They already started cutting me some discounts for parts even though I didn't buy the bike from them.
 
Welcome from North Carolina. I purchased a Phantom Black 07 Rocket III last November. Haven't been able to ride much lately but I sure do enjoy it when I can get out. Welcome to the forum.

Welcome to the site from your neighboring state, New Jersey, PhillyRoc. I was born in Philly and somewhat named for that great town.;)

IMFASTTOO just bought his R3 locally and he's over in Bensalem. As a lifelong biker ruffian, racer, wrench and a former motorcycle dealer himself, he might have the skinny on triumph dealers in your area.

Let us know when you'd like to meet up in New Hope and we'll try to make it happen soon!

Enjoy the ride!
 
Darin, welcome from Afghanistan. I have fond memories of Philadelphia, was stationed at the Philly shipyard back in 77-79. I also was married there in the northeast at Holmesburg.

After I left Afghanistan the first time in May of 07 (after purchasing my Rocket in March) my wife and I went on a long overdue vacation and visited a lot of friends and members of her family in Philly, Bristol, Fairless Hills and in New Jersey (she's a Joisey girl...Pennypack area of Willingsboro). While there I visited the dealership in Manyunk and it seemed like a decent dealership, as you said, they sold nothing but Triumphs even bought a t-shirt there (the blue one with Manyunk on the back), unfortunately I cannot help you as far as saying how their service department was.

Good luck, enjoy your ride and be safe.
