Have you noticed when you go to the show, you (or at least I do) tend to move to the booth that already has what you own? I spend a lot of time at the BMW booth, since I know some of the locals manning it, and typically see at the Show what I can see at the dealers now or in a couple of months. If Triumph was there, I'd be spending time there, too. But that is 'preaching to the choir'. I'm already sold.

I imagine the Triumph marketing Dept took a hard look at their return from being at the show, and determined they could get better use from their Marketing personnel if they spent less time and money on the road, and more time doing the marketing 'stuff' necessary to support the introduction of additional successful bikes. The Cycle World show has to really eat up lots of $$ and personnel resource, since it goes from city to city for weeks on end, sort of like the Primaries.

Triumph seems to be working hard on getting a lot of free publicity in the bike mags .... I'm surprised at how much coverage they've been getting in the US pubs ....even articles on the classic Bonnies from the 1960s.

If they can continue to keep up their current sale rate, and can continue to bring out bikes like the 675 Daytona, the New Tiger, the Street Triple, etc, I'm not going to be disappointed because they don't show up in Cleveland in late January.
