Now there is not a Triumph outlet within 100 kilometres or so of that town. |
They're all going a bit like that though. The local dealer I was chatting with the other day said he'd dropped Yamaha for that reason, and Honda did the same thing some years ago. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017
