Terrible news!

Postby rndtaylor » Tue Jun 10, 2008 11:50 am

I just talked to Mike Vaughn at the chattanooga Triumph dealership about parts for my bike, and he told me they are going out of business! Saturday is the last day.

holy crap. I guess Triumph really doesn't want anyone providing good service or selling their bikes at a reasonable price.

I just called the service dept at Castle powersports in Madison TN about ordering parts for my bike, and they are already giving me shit about it.

I miss my chattanooga dealer already.

If you just need to order parts and can do the work yourself, bikebandit.com sells Triumph OEM parts.

That really does suck that your local dealer is going out of business.

Thanks guys. I would be happier doing my own work, even if it is warranty covered.

its going to get worse as the economy continues to slide
thank the Democratic Congress we elected in 2006
maybe they will lossen ther rectums and allow the USA to begin rsasonalbe oil exploration on our own soil soon
the dolar gained against he euro today andt the price of oil went down but until we have our own sources we will be slaves to our "friends" the Saudis and the world (China)demand for oil
the price of a Street Triple went up 5% since its introduciton and Ducati prices just jumped as much as 10%
Harley will only sell thier hot rod Sportster in Europe where it brings $15,000

You said it Dr,
the dems were swept into office 2 years ago and look what they have done for our country, nothing, ... in fact, they are making matters worse with their over-reaching environmental legislation. Its not only over reaching and hurting this country its down right, extreme. (Carbon cretdits and taxes levied based on how you use your "alotted" carbon credits! you got to be shitting me. Thank god it lost to a GOP fillibuster) And look how they voted today on oil drilling and oil exploration ...just today! They voted against it. Freakin liberals. This is on their freakin hands this time. Its no wonder their approval rating is down to 11%. Since when did capitalism, for profit, private sector, private business, copy rights, patents, and entrepreneurial ability all become bad words. We are being brainwashed by the colleges and the liberal driveby media. I guess we should have seen this coming when they all lined up to kiss Al Gore's ass and give him the nobel peace prize.
Well done is always better than well said.
