Metro-Poor-As-Piss??? Actually that’s unfair - spares, servicing and accesories were good…dealer side could be piss-poor depending on what staff was involved and who was the manager at the time.

I bought 2 new Triumps way back in 2006 and 2008 from the then Triumph manager, Bob Brennan who was an ace guy.

He replacement not so good…he once refused a test ride and told me to go to Jack Lilleys in Ashford, test a bike and then come back and buy it from him!!! ,…Yea sure, that sort of spiv behaviour really gives you confidence in a dealer…

Then there was one salesmen who, when I went in , was eating cornflakes at his desk and didn’t bother even looking up even though I was the only one there …He was in the Moto-Guzzi bit and I asked him if he had a Bellagio to look at …" A what???" was his reply…a salesman who didn’t even know the names of the bike he was selling!

Poor-as-piss as I said…
