I agree - I'll pass your comments along ;-)

I have since received an email from a Triumph representative - seems the 
dog ate my catalog and a new one is one the way.

Nah - I would much rather just get everyone riled up ;-)

Well, I know that they know the site works. I spoke with an employee of 
Triumph that covers a lot of ground about a month ago and he said that he 
couldn't go anywhere without someone mentioning TriumphNet. I also received 
a letter from Ross Clifford thanking me for my efforts - "it is heartening 
that individuals like yourself go beyond the call of duty to support 
Triumph over the years". Never got a letter like that from Willie G..... ;-)

When I started this site, I did it for the love of the bike. No one ever 
said that if I did a good job, I would be getting a check from Triumph.

And in a way we all benefit from the sales that this site generates. Every 
new owner goes to make Triumph a stronger company - another dollar toward 
research and development of the next new, hot bikes. Another dollar 
guaranteeing that two years from now when you need a part for your bike, 
the company will still be around to supply the part.......

Plus - who could put a price on the friendships that I have made because of 
this list....

Thanks to everyone that has voiced their support - I greatly appreciate it.
