Well I called my local Triumph dealer (30miles away) to order a spring and gasket on tuesday. Parts guy said two to three days. Yesterday was day 3 and I heard nothing. I called them to see and sure enough the parts were there with my phone number on the gasket package. I told him I'd be up in the morning and that I lived in York but am currently at work in Thomasville. He tells me that he lives in North York and wants to know if I'd want him to bring them home and meet up with me. Hell yeah! Did the credit card transaction over the phone and expected to get them in the morning which was fine because I work second shift. Still saves me a lot of time and gas. I get a call around 6..." Hey Jim, I'm in Abbottstown ( about 7 miles up the road) and just turned on rt 30". I responded "great, see you in about 10 min." So he shows up with my parts and I gave him a ten dollar tip. I put the spring on this morning and then the clutch basket and realize that my torque wrench is in my son's storage locker. AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
