Not that new Den. Back in 2000, I walked into Glasgow Triumph with £6k in my back pocket (metaphorically) and wanting a 900 Legend. There were 2 sales guys fawning all over a female looking at a Ducati. "Can I have a word?" asks I, "yea in a minute" 5mins later "Can I have a word?" "Be right with you" Third time I goes over and hears the girl saying "so if I get a bike licence, I can ride this?" At that point I walked out and went to another dealer. My mate told the salesmen "He's got 6k burning a hole in his pocket" so one came out after me....to short shrift. About 10yrs later, I was in Glasgow Triumph again (different shop, same attitude) to pick up a part for my Hinckley Bonnie. The stores guy goes to collect it and I started drooling over a 1200 Thruxton. I was all over this thing and any salesperson worth their salt, would have seen an easy sale. The stores guy came back with my part and I told him collecting my £7 part almost cost me 12k and mentioned the Thruxton. "I'll get someone over" he says....Too late matey, the spell is broken
