I am getting that sentiment. It is nice to have prizes to give away but I don't think that is the reason we go. Everything else would still happen as it is all funded by our registration fees. The only thing we get donated are prizes from Triumph Canada. The shops pay a small fee that pay for a logo on the website, mention at the banquet, signage at the event and purchase extra prizes from Triumph Canada.
I just find it interesting that some shops just don't even blink an eye and send in a cheque where this one is being a bit of a pain. I hope it all sorts itself out. We appreciate the assistance from our shops in putting on this event...makes it seem like they care about their clientele.
Any day on my bike is the best day ever! That would be my custom painted 2007 Speedmaster or my 2002 Daytona 955i also known as my salt racing bike!
