Darren you are ABSOLUTELY correct. If you think these ( hi tech Triumph ) mech.
care for your bike as much as you do, you would be gravely mistaken.
Doing it yourself ( if you are able ) is far superior than any dealer I know.
If you look at the list of items they are supposed to check, replace or adjust,
you would be lucky if they do half.
Sorry but this is the real world truth, your bike is just another pay check to
MOST
mech. out there. If I'm wrong prove me so.
