Went to Bikeweek in Daytona today. Thought I would stop by the Triumph tent and kick tires on the 2013 demos.
HOWEVER, as I passed a multitude of tents, guess what? No Triumph.
Figured I would ride over to dealership where I bought my Rocket. It's not the "big tent" advertising at the speedway like the other brands, but they had a lot of stuff going on last year.
When I got there, the only tents were selling clothes. I asked a sales person where is Triumph?
I was told they decided not to show, but the Ducati reps would be there tomorrow giving demo rides.
Ducati? DUCATI! What's up with that? It was like: We sell Ducati & BMW, and by the way Triumph.
I don't blame the dealership I blame Triumph Corp. The dog and pony shows create buyer interest and customer brand loyalty.
It's like Triumph has a sarcastic attitude. If you are smart enough to do your homework and not follow the crowd, you are smart enough to ride a Triumph.
Heck, maybe it's me, maybe they sell so many in Europe, it's not a big deal to grab market share from Harley, Honda and the others.
Anyway, I have a new slogan for Triumph.
