Re: [ST] Closing Triumph Dealers/Parts



If you have a friend or spouse upon whom you can rely, you should buy front
and rear tires, package them for shipment, and leave them at home.  If you
have a flat and the appropriate tire is not available, have your spouse or
friend overnight the correct, pre-packaged tire.
