They have an incredible Triumph showroom. For those following my burbles issue, while I was there I had a tech check out my bike and he gave it a clean bill of health, he didn't have any maps he thought would work better than a retune or what I can do, so I am still going to do TuneECU on it next week. When he hit the throttle he just smiled and said "that's not too far off man!"

The S3 looks great in red!

I bought my Daytona from Second Wind... GREAT SHOP! Can't say enough good things about Nic and everyone else.

Am I the only one who get annoyed at everyone thinking the speed and the street are the same fucking bike?

It's not an older vintage, it's an entirely different machine.

Dude man lighten up, I understand where you're coming from and I know the differences very well but it was closing time, I was in a hurry with a bullshit phone cam and thought that they had placed an older S3 next to the newer S3 for the sake of display. I was an Internet sales manager for Best Honda Suzuki so that's why I thought that initially.

And keep in mind as I;m filming I hadn't even walked all the way into the showroom, that was me just walking in and I'm not looking straight at the bikes while I'm filming I watching where I'm walking and just pointing the camera phone in the general direction hoping to get some decent video.

Long live the differences, I might like the STriple a bit more because you can use more of it more readily than the Big Boy.

Ultimately I like the Big Boy Tiger more than the Cub as well. I don't go off road like I used to.

Peace.

I don't care... S3, ST3... both great bikes... both fun bikes...

But sign me up for an ST3... haha. More comfortable, cooler look, better sound, better highway bike...

S3 still looks as cool as it did when it first came out, but the 675... I dunno, love it in the Daytona, but the Daytona is EXTREMELY uncomfortable... bars are too low for me.

Okay, so by 2013 you'll have a new S3 and I'll have a Tiger 1050!

Sorted.
Pics are here. The round thing is an Ion Diffuser. More on that later in a much different context.

Word. And it's so cool how it's just set up the hill, all rustic and whatnot, the perfect environment to sell what they sell. They helped me out when I was on the R100S with a fender and I have commented on them before that, back in January '08 before I had a BMW (bike that is) or even knew I would own a Triumph. Question is what is going on with all that carbon on that piston? Doesn't that look weird?

Explains why I left :shredder:

Just some shit to do for some extra dollars.The guys from the car side were almost complete jackasses to our concerns on the bike side.
Although their mechanic Brandon is a helluva guy and well schooled on some imports as well.

I feel dirty even driving by there.....that "thing" behind the parts counter
they call "Dennis" might be one of the rudest, unfriendly people I have ever
come across.

All other dealerships should be sending him thank you cards for gaining new business.
