No actually Sid, I've just googled that dealership and it's exactly what I thought it would turn out to be....one of the motorcycle "superstores", that carry Honda, Yamaha, Ducati AND Triumph!(that is if I've found the shop that Carl is talking about here)

And sometimes THERE IN lies the problem. As an example, when I purchased my new at the time 1995 Triumph Sprint from what was then named L.A. Triumph(near LAX Airport), they ONLY sold Triumphs and the whole staff there seemed "very interested" in their product's sales and service at the time. However, eventually they started also selling and servicing Hondas, Kawasakis, Ducatis and Victorys and became known as "L.A. Motorsports", and it seemed Triumph became an "afterthought" to them.

And so, I'll betcha anything that Carl here has run into a very similar situation there in Kentucky that I found here in L.A., but the advantage I have here in Los Angeles over Carl in KY is that I have two other dealerships which are still reasonably close to me that I can patronize instead and which still concentrate on Triumphs.

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
