huh.  i'll be damned.  so you mean that when the nice folks at my
current favorite triumph mailorder dealer, a place that normally
gives 10% off on all triumph retail prices, tells me today on the
phone that they charge $75 with no discount, because there's not much
profit in it, then you mean they might be pulling my leg?  who would
have thought...  (on the other hand, if 50% markup isn't "much
profit", i'd hate to think what the margins are on _rest_ of what they
sell.  :-)
