Old hat now I guess. But pray tell me just where BMW have gone to in the greater Wellington area?

I called into Motorad and it's full of Triumph's now, I asked a sales rep what went wrong to loose the BMW franchise. He replied I really don't know mate. I asked whose going to get the beemer franchise he said. Between you and me, I really don't care.

All I know is I am earning a lot more since Triumph moved to here. As I am selling three times as many Triumph's as I was BMW's.

I then rode down to Wellington MC. Asked the question to one of the sales team I know. I was told that they had a fall out with Triumph NZ, over building an extension onto the existing showroom so as to sell more Triumphs by giving them a complete new showroom just for the Trumpets. I was told Boss of WMC told TNZ to take your Triumphs and go elsewhere!! True or false is any one's guess.

Totally true, that last point. Ally that to really shitty parts support and total utter bullshit answers from Triumph NZ and WMCC had just plain had enough.

A mate bought one of the last TT600s. It didn't run nicely, so I did some digging for him and we looked at the eeprom and it was one of the early ones.

Cool we thought, ring TNZ and get the latest revision. TNZ denied that there was anything wrong with the TT600 fuelling , EVER, which as we all know is utter bullshit. I sourced the latest software from the UK through a mate, and the TT600 owner patched and sold it and refuses to buy anything other than *sob* Suzuki now.
