Not that it matters much but I am going to lower the BMW ratio by one this spring. It just ain't working out for me.

    While doing my bike search via the internet, I came across a dealership called "Pikes Peak Motorsports" down in CO Springs, off of Powers.  Doing a google map search, the Street View shot from August 2011 shows the building as empty, so I'm guessing it's either a new dealership or that they used to be located elsewhere and have relocated to the area along Powers (which is a very fast-growing part of CO Springs, I've noticed.) 
     
    Anyway, their web site (http://www.pikespeakmotorsports.org) indicates they have a Triumph franchise.  Interesting as I thought Apex was the only Triumph dealer in the Springs. 
     
    Hopefully this is a sign that Triumph continues to expand their dealer footprint.  More dealers = more Triumphs on the road = a better deal all around for everyone.

    Yup Martin...there is another Triumph dealer in the Springs. I was there last Spring with CPT Bob, Denise, Sean, and Sara. It is a new dealership. I have no idea how they are doing but I didn't get a great feeling from the people I met there. Just my personal perception as I've had no dealings with them.
     
    I'm getting a little concerned that we may have to change our club name or disassociate from Erico/Triumph with all the Bimmers joining the flock...hahaha

    Upon closer review I'm wondering if this dealer may be affiliated with Foothills.  The web site appears similar and the link at the bottom of the page goes to the same place (dominion enterprises/powersports Network.)

    From what I was told by the new dealer (Pikes Peak), he knows the owner of Foothills well, but they are not affiliated with Foothills.
     
    Apparently they were awarded a franchise by Triumph for Colorado Springs, because Apex has consistently missed sales quotas. This from Pikes Peak, so take it for what it is worth.

    Sara and I did our part adding the Street Triple R last year. Working on getting our friend Katie to trade her 650GS for a Tiger Roadie in 2014 and maybe getting Sara to trade her 650GS for a Tiger Roadie in 2015 :)
     
    Otherwise, we are seriously going to have to consider a name change to Erico Motorsports Riders Club, become an MOA Charter and move our meetings to Helga's hahahaha

    I don't know what MOA stands for Sean but I'm assuming it might have some affiliation to the Bimmer crowd. And since you referenced Helgas I believe that would be s good assumption. No offense but I would have to take a pass on this.

    They actually have a petty decent Roadside Assistance add-on that you can get as a member, but his may have something to do with why they offer it ;)

    Sara and I did our part adding the Street Triple R last year. Working on getting our friend Katie to trade her 650GS for a Tiger Roadie in 2014 and maybe getting Sara to trade her 650GS for a Tiger Roadie in 2015 :)
     
    Otherwise, we are seriously going to have to consider a name change to Erico Motorsports Riders Club, become an MOA Charter and move our meetings to Helga's hahahaha

    Yup Martin...there is another Triumph dealer in the Springs. I was there last Spring with CPT Bob, Denise, Sean, and Sara. It is a new dealership. I have no idea how they are doing but I didn't get a great feeling from the people I met there. Just my personal perception as I've had no dealings with them.
     
    I'm getting a little concerned that we may have to change our club name or disassociate from Erico/Triumph with all the Bimmers joining the flock...hahaha

    While doing my bike search via the internet, I came across a dealership called "Pikes Peak Motorsports" down in CO Springs, off of Powers. Doing a google map search, the Street View shot from August 2011 shows the building as empty, so I'm guessing it's either a new dealership or that they used to be located elsewhere and have relocated to the area along Powers (which is a very fast-growing part of CO Springs, I've noticed.)
     
    Anyway, their web site (http://www.pikespeakmotorsports.org) indicates they have a Triumph franchise. Interesting as I thought Apex was the only Triumph dealer in the Springs.
     
    Hopefully this is a sign that Triumph continues to expand their dealer footprint. More dealers = more Triumphs on the road = a better deal all around for everyone.

    Yeah, between towing fees and extending the hotel stay. Then it was at the dealer for almost 3 months waiting for parts. Which is why she will likely look at a Tiger roadie or something else to replace it soon. That coming at the same time she broke her wrist, made for a really lousy and expensive summer hahaha

    I added roadside assistance to my insurance at Foremost for the Rocket and
    it only cost me $10.00/year extra, it paid off when Magnus my Swedish friend
    broke down in New Mexico last spring on the Rocket.
     
    They reimbursed us everything, they had to pay for towing and truck rental
    to take it back to Denver, total $690.00.

    Tomas,
     
    That sounds like a far better value than the Roadside assistance that I have. I think I will call Foremost and get a rate comparison for equal coverage.

    It was very painless, one phone call and the check was in the mail after they received the receipts.
    Maybe I get a deal because I'm 50+, insurance is thru AARP.

    I will definitely look into it. It rings a bell with me that perhaps I already did, and their rates were significantly higher for equal coverage on my bikes.
     
    But you may be getting a better rate as a discount through AARP.
