Scrambler900, I understand your thoughts. It isn't an oversimplification of the issue - and even though you won't agree with me, it's not "blackmail".

A Dealer must invest in his business. Which means training employees, keeping bikes on the floor, stocking apparel/accessories, and several other critical steps in order to maintain their relationship with their respective Triumph Distributor.

Although many of us would share your feelings about how it looks, if you step back and look at the big picture these are the things that a dealer must do to be successful. It is completely normal to feel anxiety, but this is the reality of being a successful Triumph Dealer.

It is also normal that only a very small percentage of business owners could effectively work & manage in this enviroment and under these terms. The majority cannot, and that is why Triumph Ltd and Triumph Distributors hire talented people to go out and find potential business owners that thrive in this situation.

This doesn't mean that you are "inferior" in any way for how you perceive this situation, it's just business.
