[ST] In Praise of Triumph

["John Westcott" <westcott@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Howard and All:

Good points.  For the record, the Triumph dealers in San Antonio, Texas (8th
largest city in USA, I believe) and Corpus Christi, Texas are excellent.

No problem report:  No problems with my '97 Thunderbird or my '00 Daytona.
(No problems with my BMW R1100S for that matter.)

> Hello Thomas & All:
> John Bloor's Hinckley Triumph Motorcyles Ltd is ten years + old. They had
to build a factory, equip it, design some motorcycles, build them and take
them to market which is why they have not really been visible for the entire
ten years. Even less time in the US market.
> Not too shabby for a new company when you think of it. We all know that
the Hinckley Triumph is a great bike.
> The product support/marketing in the USA is what's not right. Triumph is
run on a shoestring here in the US. Not enough people to do what is required
to support the bikes sold in the US.
> I cannot believe that there is no Triumph dealership in the city of
Philadelphia! There are dealers in the far outlying suburbs, but nowhere
near the city centre. This is the 4th largest market in the US,  5th largest
city in the country with LOTS of motorcylists. Every other exotic/Euro make
from Laverda, Moto Guzzi, BMW, etc are in centre city proper.
