Where: Near Walnut Hill and I-35 in NW Dallas
What: Triumph dealer

They have some really interesting pieces of motorcycle history. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to hang around and check it out very long because of work.

My 95 Speed Triple had developed what acted like a stuck float valve. I'd torn the carbs down when I bought the bike and discovered the pilot jet was clogged on the middle carb. I'd had enough trying to get the mixture right on the 3 carbs and also synch them and decided to get some professional help. Keith & the gang rebuilt the carbs replacing all the O-rings & fuel lines, set the mixture with O2 taps in the headers and synched the carbs. The bike runs amazing now. I felt like they did a very good job of rebuilding/tuning and met all their time commitments. It was money well spent, if nothing else, just to see what the true potential of the bike was.

Just gotta find some time to go back by and spend a little time scoping out the old Triumphs.

Bought my 05 Sprint from Keith and have done all the services there.
Nothing but good things to say about RPM.

Best dealer (moto or auto) that I've ever met. Keith is one of the best Brit bike mechanics in the country. Funny guy, too.

I met Keith at a few Triumph Rallies. Nice guy. I think for a while he was doing CMRA enduro racing. Not sure if he still does. Used to see him at the track the few times I could get out to TWS to watch.

Bought my first Triumph from Keith. Good guy to do business with, and he's got just as much neat stuff in the back of his shop as he does in the front. :thumb:

Keith still does endurance racing. I was in his shop a couple weeks ago and he was talking about it. He's been running a TT600 for a while. Says it's as reliable as a hammer, but he's thinking about getting an SV650 because they get better mileage. The TT has to stop for gas too often.
