Triumph North East

Sorry mate but that doesn't sound good. You'll get to get on your feet and track these buggers down quick before they disappear for good. Hope you've got some paperwork to prove they had the bike? Go to the local cop shop and see what they suggest.

The very best of luck to you.

 

Supprised to see them taken over, at least it's not a bankruptcy and would be supprised if you had any problems as the new owner will want to keep excisting customers and honour their business, I would have thought they are legally obliged too. Good luck

 

Where are they based?

 

Newcastle. Interesting to see who takes over for us up here anyway

The Franchise used to be with M&S on Westgate road which is the Motorcycle Heart but Triumph won't entertain multi. franchises so it moved some way out and away from this busy Heart and that's probably the problem with to few customers, it dosen't have this passing trade.
The salesman may well go back to work there so all is not lost for petrolhead
He could also make enquires with M&S they may know something at least the whereabouts of the last owner.

 

Hi PH,I would be contacting the POlice and Citizens Advice straight away, it doesn't commit you to anything but you need to know more about where you stand. It'll help with any further "conversations" with the owner.How far away are you from where he is based?

 

Ditto

 

Camp on his doorstep until he pays you, in cash.

 

My Missus and I both have Triumphs - we have now had our letters from Triumph UK confirming that they have parted ways with Triumph North East - we now have the unenviable task of getting two bikes down to York to get some warranty work carried out. Not good !

 

Hard luck Ian, maybe someone will take on the franchise in your area?

 

That is a trek Ian. Someone is bound to fill the gape up there.

 

That's not good news! Does anyone know what happened to 'petrolhead' the OP, regarding the sale of his bike? Did he get his money OK?

 

I totally agree with biglad - contact the police and citizens advice bureau - camp out until you get signs of life there. Barry at M a S ( suzuki sales) May be able to offer advice also. Good luck mate - it must feel like theft even when you know the perpetrator.

 

Any you know about?

 

So you have not yet received your money? How are to going about getting it?
