RE: Major Fuel Leak! Update

["Tim Wallace" <black47@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the suggestions, Eric.  I did receive a questionnaire from
Triumph in the UK along with the RAT info.  I intend on letting them know
about the situation with the ST.

The Denver area is sorely in need of a Triumph dealer since Fay Myers
stopped being a Triumph dealer here recently after some 40+ years.  Whether
true or not, Myers reps blamed Triumph of America for their decision to
quit.  Frankly, they were not my favorite dealer anyway, so I'm not sure it
was a bad thing.  There is a pretty good dealer in Longmont, but it is a
long haul there from Denver.

Tim: I'm sorry to hear that Triumph was less than responsive. To
anyone out there that has a problem of a similar magnitude that the
dealer can't handle at their level, remember that when sending
correspondence ALWAYS send it Certified to the head man(or gal)  that
way it doesn't get canned! And forget about Email it is worthless
when trying to resolve a problem. Also it can help to "cc" the big
wheels in the UK. They really do want to know what's happening. The
US market is very important to Triumphs long term goals so a bunch of
unhappy Yanks is NOT what they want! So far I've had GREAT service
from my dealer Freehold Triumph ( in NJ)  I guess I'm just lucky. I
can also recommend Blackmans in Emmaus PA  also a great bunch of guys.
