Triumph Dealers

[PeteWI]

Is it just me, or are the Triumph Dealerships disappearing? I bought my original Cardinal Red Rocket from a dealer across town.

The nearest dealer today is 100 miles away.

I see very few Triumphs around here. The Rockets are really rare. I know of only one other.

I envy you, Rockets are a dime a dozen around here.

We have a new Triumph Franchise in Rochester, that makes 3 I am aware of in this part of the state. I have seen one other Rocket, that is it. It's one of the reasons I bought the bike, not one sitting on every corner. Bad thing is the lack of service and parts at the counter..... Kind of a mix of good and bad.....

I have to cross a state border to get to the only dealer within 200km - but it's only about 10km (6 miles) away. A bit more choice would be nice.

I've only seen 3 others (not counting Hanso's and Kiwi's) in Canberra, so they're pretty rare around here and most frequent comment is "never seen one of those before". I love it! I feel your pain Dave. See quite a few other Triumphs around though.

Yep. I saw my FIRST R3 on the road yesterday. And that's before and after buying one. I was in my car driving to town, so I only got a quick look. Looked to be a new primer black roadster. There were about ten bikes in the group. Most HD baggers. The R3 was riding one bike next to last. I about broke my neck turning around to see the bike and make sure. There was no mistaking that round chrome badge on the front of the forks when I first saw the bikes coming at me! Now I can say I've at least seen one on the road!

The dealer I purchased mine from closed down but fortunately there sister store across town picked up the triumph line. I live in a medium sized town and there are two other r3 owners living here - both great guys so I don't mind sharing the space.

My closet dealer is about 150 miles away, the dealer I trade with is 170 away and there is another dealer about 200 miles away. I'm not complaining, the price to pay to be unique.

I saw three Rockets today, one std and two Roadsters, I was not on my bike so I could not blow them off the road I wish Triumph would buy back all the Rockets from 06-12 then I would be the only Rocket in the village

Might buy this little scooter you do not see to many of them. You guys remember this scooter from Deals Gap?

I have two dealers within 45 minutes and another with an hour and I haven't set foot in any of them yet. I bought the bike used so no dealer involved. Unless you're looking to buy a new one, I see no need for a dealer and would find a decent independent local mechanic before I'd take my bike to a dealer anyway.
I had two reasons for buying the R3... One, I'm originally from England and two, I ride something that you don't see every day, at least not around here. I don't crave the attention that the beast brings but it sure puts a smile on my face when I'm in the middle of a flock of sheep (that's code for HD riders BTW) and mine is the one getting the comments.
Don't worry about the dealers and enjoy the unique ride.

Cheers

There are three dealers near me ..One is too far...the second one is too expensive ..and the third is just right.... It seems a lot of the motorsports dealers are more than willing to treat you a lot more favorable than a regular Triumph dealers. I also have noticed my dealer doesn't carry the Rocket line as much as he used to.. ?? Like J3 said ...i'm not a big fan of dealers either, but after trying to get my rear tire off the rim i'm more than willing to put it into the shop for new tires..
