I have yet to see a Triumph dealership whose facility is worthy of the bikes it sells.



I would have to agree - at least based on what I've seen to date.

Collins Cycle in SW PA is the ONLY dealer I've been in that typically is stocked with the full model range and very often has multiple selections of each. Their accessory stock is limited - BUT, I'll say they get stuff in quite quickly.

None seem to have much in the way of 'in-stock' merchandise, i.e. clothing and accessories. The closest to having a well stocked accessory display I've seen is Triumph of Pittsburgh - However, the bike stock seems a bit skimpy.


The Erie (North East) seems like a Triumph afterthought...

Windber (sp.?)(the one near Johnstown), Pa. seems to be pretty 'bare-bones' in all respects.

I've heard nice things about the one in State College (Nittany area), but have never seen it.

The only out-of-state dealer I visited was in Sarasotta - It's a Honda / BMW dealer that has a couple of Triumphs and two or three T-shirts - I exagerate a tad, but, they have a VERY sad display...

I recall reading in a past Rat rag, that the trend was to become more of a retail outlet - sort of 'Harley-esque' for lack of a better definition - But it ain't happened 'round these parts.
