I am encouraged by the strong reception to the Triumph line and committed to the further development of Triumph's dealer network, product line and customer satisfaction."

A funny blurb pushrod puts on the end -- he's obviously aware of the general industry knowledge that Bloor -- and thus, top Triumph management -- hate the Internet and don't see any value in it. We get testbikes through the good graces of our pal Will Tate, who manages the LA fleet. We say it gets MO testbikes, thusly the Internet has purpose and meaning... ;-) --MO
