So that didn’t go as expected again!
Following on from my T100 thread
http://www.ukgser.com/forums/showthread.php/446041-New-T100-Anyone-got-one
After the last failed attempt to buy a T120 I found another dealer with the colour I wanted in stock, Red and Silver, so yesterday afternoon I toddled down to Valence to see it,
The concessionaire couldn’t be more different to the miserable Doris I had seen in Clermont who said she couldn’t get one before July
I told him I’d tried the two models and I was interested in the T120
He showed me the bikes in his garage and we said hi to the mechanics
Wifey wasn’t so keen on the red and silver in the showroom so he wheeled one out to see if it was better in daylight, but she still wasn’t blown away
So I explained that I had fallen in love with the blue paint job but the T100 wasn’t pokey enough, I half-jokingly said he would need to swap the tank and mudguards off the blue T100 with the ones off the T120
“Give me a minute” says he, and off he goes to talk to one of his employees saying “he has good ideas”
2 minutes later back he comes and says “we can order you a Jet Black T120 and just swap the tank with the Blue T100”, the mudguards are black on both bikes, this leaves him with a Jet Black T100 which is a standard colour scheme and I get a “one-off” Blue and white T120, exactly what I wanted
“F**k yes!” says I (in French)
He then calls the Triumph central in Paris and asks them to send the Jet Black T120 he has scheduled for April straight away instead, so delivery in 2 - 3 weeks
So there it is, I got a small discount and some free accessories, first service free and the tank swapped over free
I thoroughly recommend this dealer for anyone buying a Triumph in France
You could say I’m one f**king happy bunny
Should look something like this:
