per mech. Given their profit margin of a couple of grand per bike, just the
interest they pay on the stock they have now has pretty much eroded the
profit they made for the brand last year. >>
Greetings,
Just to correct a small misconception before proliferation and repetition
take their toll...
Every Triumph Dealer is/was required to send at least one "A" tech to a TT600
training school. Schools were conducted at Peach Tree City GA as well as ten
additional venues coast to coast. The training was provided at NO COST
WHATSOEVER to the dealer. Dealers were allowed to enroll in the
class/location of choice and were required to pay their own
transportation/housing/meals. Most sessions were one day long. A two-day
class was offered in Peach Tree City.
Any "dealer" that only rolls one unit a year is definately going to lose his
a** with a line like Triumph and should probably be selling appliances or
appliance-like motor vehicles.
