I agree... It's not like there is a Triumph dealer on every street corner... Or that they have such name recognition left over from the "glory days" that people will take it upon themselves to seek a dealer out.

I was at the MC Show in Atlanta a couple of years back.... The last year Triumph participated... Folks were wall to wall looking at the bikes... The 1050 S3 was introduced that year and created a huge buzz...

I believe that Triumph is missing out on being seen by a large audience that is motorcycle savvy and usually has the money to purchase... Or at least is contemplating a purchase.

The odd thing is that Triumph has a huge state of the art display that travels to all the European Union shows...

I don't fully understand Triumph N. A.'s marketing strategy.... They seem to be cutting back on the number of demo truck appearances also...
