Took the bike in yesterday, they tore it down to lock the cams down so they wouldn't roll over when the spring was removed. They installed the part from Triumph ( the small piece that looks a lot like a steel pencil eraser ) I walked in and they found that all of the plug wires were splitting down next to the boot portion, they put in a set of wires too. Slipped the two mechanics, Noel and Grady a $20 for looking out for me on it, for lunch.
Called later, and Between Jordan Richardson, Kristi Holtsclaw, and Randy Hamme my bill is ZERO dollars because they felt that Triumph should have backed their product. These folks are good folks at Ray Price Triumph of Raleigh. I explained to all that I DO NOT ACCEPT CHARITY and that Triumph was being allowed to walk out on their problem. There fore, I will be preparing beef brisket, Baked beans, and "Pig Pickin' Cake for the entire Triumph and service dept. staff for next Friday. Then it is not charity, it is barter which is TAX FREE.
My personal and eternal thanks to the folks named above.
