Show no show

I will stand by my beliefs and statements that the International Motorcycle Show is a great way for manufacturers to show off their products to the public which in turn will stimulate brand interest and sales. And be sure that Triumph is like any other motorcycle manufacturer in that their number one goal is to sell metal.

Don't be a show-hater just because you don't live in an area where the show visits. I think if you were in the market for a new bike and lived near a show city you would also find it a valuable tool in making your purchasing decision.

As far as Triumph decision to abandon the show and in a smaller way the American motorcycle enthusiasts, I am guessing their decision was made by a coin toss or maybe a round of rock-paper-scissors. That is the only way I can explain their business decision.

Have a good night, I'm going to go look at the brochures I picked up at the show!
