Well I've been backing Triumph for the last seven years and have probably
done more positive promotion for the marque than anyone else in the country,
even to the point of having a customised Speed Triple as centrepiece of my
stand at the Dublin bikeshow. The final straw was when I was offered a 45%
depreciation on a six month old bike as a trade in on a 1050 by Triumphs own
importers and was waiting six weeks for a warped brake disc to be replaced
by the same organisation. And that's dealing directly with Triumph, imagine
if I was trying to deal through a dealership.

Two of the bikes on my shortlist for a new bike in '06 were Triumphs, a
speed Triple 1050 and Daytona 675.
Disinterest in the customers by the distributors and the factory made me
discount those options despite my wife strongly urging me towards the 675.
This year my stand at the bike show will probably feature a Moto Guzzi.
