We clicked onto a You Tube video of the Beta USA boss, explaining about how the dealer network functions, which I found interesting ( because I have been there-done that) – but unfortunately, although everything he said is true – the bottom line is that the average consumer is only interested in getting the best deal on whatever bike he or she is looking at. – That is why I have always said the Trials business has always been quite small and unique ( especially in North America)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
