Online, February 19, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Ray Price Harley-Davidson® is proud to announce a new partnership with Triumph® Motorcycles.

"We enjoyed a long and friendly relationship with our former partner," said Ray Price, founder and owner of Ray Price Harley-Davidson and primary sponsor of the Ray Price Nitro Harley and Road Race Teams. "However, we are thrilled to be entering into an affiliation with such a well known and highly respected motorcycle builder as Triumph.
