Default looks like business is going to be picking up

Well as none of you know...we are now the only Triumph dealer on the east coast from Key West to Daytona Beach.

Wow, thats alot of real estate to cover. To be honest if I lived in FL that would seal the deal not to buy a triumph, at least with one of the big 4 jap companies I can go anywhere to buy parts

Depends on how close you are to the dealer, thats the bummer with aprilia now. There are two shops nearby but I wont let them touch my bike other than for inspections. the shop I completley trust with my bike is over 60 miles away but is well worth the trip. used to be a good shop nearby but sadly the closed down and when that location reopened it was only the jap bikes.

There are still like 13 dealers in the state. its just that they are all on or north of I-4. Ridenow in Orlando was a dealer and they were all brands and they shut down. The one in Ft. Lauderdale was a pretty decent one...not quite sure what happened to them, but I started receiving phone calls from their customers today asking me if the rumors were true. So in the meantime I am going to reap the rewards from this. And it wont be long before Triumph puts another point in the Ft. Lauderdale area.

they shut their doors. we kept getting little hints from the higher ups at Triumph that something might be going down...we just didn't think that it would be this
