Jeff makes a good point. Maybe that's why I am so often asked the same question: "Do they still make Triumphs?"

Does Triumph miss sales by not attending the shows, of course they do. If the no-show is financial concerns, they could at least send a factory rep to partner with a strong area dealer .

I hate to say it but the more experiences with/observations of Triumph I have, the more it appears to me that its corporate culture and strategy is one of snootiness and arrogance. I'd like to think that doesn't matter but it does.

Unfortunately, I think you're correct. I hope they loose that ego.

I spent last weekend working the Detroit area International Motorcycle Show. Wore my Triumph shirt. Had numerous people stop and ask me where the Triumph booth was. Had to tell them Triumph was (again) a no-show. Folks asked me why - as if I know. Ural was there, Moto Guzzi was there, as were Husqvarna and Piaggio. I couldn't bring myself to tell them that Triumph is doing so well they don't need to participate.
