At the Houston show in Reliant Center a few months back, I too thought Triumph had missed the show; various vendors reported the same. I finally found it- Triumph had left their representation to a small local dealer; it was pathetic. They were tucked away in a corner, about as far away as you could get from the front (read: cheapest booth space) set up on 2 small booth spaces. The bikes (not the full line-up, either) were parked so close together, forget about standing one up. I could have put on a better display in my own garage! Quite a difference compared to all the other manufacturers flashy, huge displays. It made no sense to me that Triumph spends major bucks on full-page nat'l mag ads, but blew this 'hands-on' opportunity to show their products.
