Hi,

I am planning on being in Newport Beach (LA) in October. Given the exchange rate, or lack thereof, I am thinking of buying some accessory goodies for my R3T and bringing them back to the UK myself. Anyone know a good store nearby?

Thanks all,
Doc
 

Doc, Triumph's web site has a dealer locator. One just needs to put in the city or zip code/state and up pops the regional dealerships. I just did a search for Newport Beach and 8 dealership names with locations from 10 to 73 miles were displayed.
 
Thanks Gasket - anyone out there have any personal knowledge - ie god or bad shops etc etc?
 
So Cal Triumph is due North on the 57 freeway, short ride time wise, and they have a pretty good selection of clothing and accessories. (Also lots of tasty Ducati stuff) Orange County Triumph is closer to you but I am not sure how much inventory they have on hand. I live closer to the store in Brea. What day of the week will you be here?
 
Took me some diggin! Here's the link for the thread I was talking about:

Click on "LIST OF TRIUMPH DEALERS IN THE US" link and you'll get it.
 
Thanks very much to you both.
I'll be there in October, 12-16th with my wife and some work colleagues, though working not holiday!!! :?

I'm looking for specific R3T accessories like the luggage rack that fits the easy-off sissy bar, maybe some nicer mirrors (tear drop), and had been musing over the touring screen - but it seems expensive and at 5'10 will it be in my eyeline (hmm)(so maybe the sumer screen!) - maybe some other bits and bobs (as it's my birthday on the 7th!!) - I'll be trawling the catalogue!! However, they all will have to fit in a case!!!

...so feasibly I can call ahead and have the shop order them in, hence I was looking for a reliable shop.

Just emailed the So Cal store Turbo - I'll let you know what they say! If they can order the bits in me and the m'am can jump a cab out there - be a good trip anyhow - she's a Ducati fan (last bike was a Moto Guzzi, new one is the oh so weird Honda DN-01!!!) and I like the Victory's too, so could be a good little trip - do they have a cafe/bar there?
Doc :lol:
 
There is a decent hamburger stand across the street, but as for a drink, that would depend on whether you stay until closing time! :lol: :lol:
 
Timing is everything! If there's a beer in the offing timing can be quite flexible!!! I'll let you know if they email back...
