Shop locator please!!!!! Local US knowledge required...

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

There's an old thread with a like to all TRiumph dealers. I can't find it right now.

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?

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...
