Starting November 17th (Chicago) Triumph will be having viewing parties of the new twins. As soon as I have info on other cities I will post.

Indeed, but Triumph will not have a booth at the IMS shows this year, instead they will have parties in select cities. I will be at the Chicago date, I will snap a load of photos.
Just so you know, the "Seattle" show is moving to Portland this year.
October 30th.
I was kind of bummed to hear the IMS would not be in Seattle; though I've got friends that have been schlepping up here from Portland every year, so I guess I'm happy for them. :D

Doesn't mean we won't still be seeing something here in Seattle though.

How do you know this? They are still listed as showing on the IMS web site, at least for the California shows...

Triumph is a "niche brand"??? I'm not sure they would agree with that!

It's just a shame that they won't be represented. "Out of sight, out of mind" as the saying goes. And they have done some creative things in their booths in the past, like showing some of the British Custom builds, etc. Is this an indicator that they are becoming reluctant to spend money to advertise in the US, and maybe are pulling back again? That would suck.

Good to hear they are still investing in the US market. How can one get info on when and where they are showing? I didn't see any announcements on the triumphmotorcycles.com site... They can hold all the direct marketing shows they want, but if they dont' tell anyone about them they're wasting their time!

I agree they are a small brand. But to me "niche" means they would cater to just one specific aspect of the market. Like for example Ural, which basically only sells one product (sidecar bikes). Triumph has as wide a range of motorcycle products as the "big boys", don't you think (and more than HD)? Triumph offers Classic, Adventure, Sport, Touring, Cruiser, etc. Many niches!
