Well folks I just found out over at Tiger800.uk that BB has lost their OE Triumph parts franchise. This sucks as I ordered half a new XCx from them over the past year and a half or so. Dealer's is a bother and hang-out for rejects from Moto-Corsa and I can't order online late at night. Looks like the hunt is on for a new OE online supplier that doesn't require the ever-popular VIN. I'm stinking tired of Triumph continually asking for it in a thinly-disguised data mining operation. As I've said before: Love the bike, hate the company at times. This makes a double whammy as Cal-Moto just lost their franchise over T's demands on their retail side, so everything is on clearance sale and no more sales or warranty work. Way to go, Triumph. As for the Cal Moto flap it looks like they were trying to do the usual: Make them install about a hundred and fourty grands' worth of brand image frivolity which doesn't equate sales necessarily, but does reflect what corporate tells them. I wonder how Latus Motors gets away with it....Triumph looks like an ugly step child at their Dealership full of knuckle-drag.....T's only signage is a vinyl sign lashed to a chain link off the freeway. If it wasn't for Cycletrader I'd never have known it was a Triumph dealership under all that Harley stuff but there it is.
