Re: [ST] Closing Triumph Dealers

["Albert Garvin" <agarvin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had heard that my local BMW/Triumph dealer had to provide seperate
showrooms because BMW didn't want the direct competition. Another local
Yamaha/Triumph/BMW dealer dropped the Triumph line last year but I haven't
heard why. I'm wondering if Triumph is telling the dealers that they have to
sell so many units to stay a dealer. Or maybe hasseling them about warrenty
work. My bike is out of warrenty and is a 00 ST. If I were going to buy a
new bike tomorrow it would be another Triumph even if I had to go to England
to pick it up.
