    Looking for motorcycle dealerships around Ireland that deal in Triumphs.
    Other than the Triumph dealerships based in Dublin and Belfast.
    On the lookout for a Bobber or a Speedmaster.


    Have done a lot of research on this, But its very hard to find dealerships that have them 2nd hand.
    Very focused on finding a Bobber or SM.

    I'm not sure what its like in your country but in Ireland with such a small population and so few bikers there are only a couple of dealers for most brands. There are a couple of places (Doyles in Athone and CCS Unlimited in Kells) that will source a particular bike for you but it's unlikely they'll have stock already on the floor. McCallens up North probably have most models but you'll have to go through the import shenanigans if you buy there. Keep an eye on Donedeal too!

    Mcallens do a lot of triumphs, maybe they can source one for you.

    Bobber is only out a short time relatively so tough to find them second hand.

    I'd go to the UK honestly to get one or NI as mentioned.

    Bought a thruxton last year and very little selection over here.

    there's only 1 franchised dealer in Ireland (Dublin Triumph). There aren't enough bikes sold here to warrant more than 1. Even 1 is probably hard to justify tbh. ...

    But any good bikeshop could get one for you in the UK if you don't want to source one yourself.

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    I was going to say you can expect to pay over the odds for it with bikeworld but 9.6k eur doesn't seem unreasonable.

    I bought a Triumph privately, and ran it successfully for 13 years without ever going near a dealer here. I emailed Dublin Triumph once about a part, never got a reply :rolleyes:

    I used http://www.worldoftriumph.com for any bits I needed. This was pre-Brexit of course, only a madman would buy one now with tariffs and duties on the horizon. Stick with one of the Japanese big four.

    The Dublin Airport cap is damaging the economy of Ireland as a whole, and must be scrapped forthwith.
