I go to manufacturers shows when I get invited (occasionally) and if I can park for free (cheap). Ever been to one? If I was Triumph I think I'd abstain from exhibiting also.
Last one I went to was in Novi, Michigan. 8 bucks to park, 6 bucks to get it and 2 bucks for a watered down coke and no ice. forgot, 4 bucks for a styro cup of beer. Did the 2 buck coke. Had tickets that included parking from an exhibitor friend. Saw nothing of interest except the back lot of exhibitors that didn't have the bucks for the glitz. That back lot was a flea market and that's where the interest was. Those shows are a joke.
