The deal here, is that they are only given to people who purchase a new Triumph in 07. I scored a few because I`m a pack leader.

I'd sure rather they put the adhesive on the back. There are many more places I could affix the sticker then.

If anyone is in Central Texas, and wants their 07 patch, let me know and we'll figure out how to get it to you.

I've still a few. PM me with your name and address and I'll get some to you.

I purchased my Triumph in '07 and it is new to me, does that count? When I went to my local dealer and asked them how to find information about the RAT Pack...they just looked at me funny.....One guy even told me "Maam, we just sell motorcycles here. You'd have to check a movie store for Rat Pack stuff"!

My duchess had a '00 RAT emblem on the front mud guard...

Feel the love. Sounds like you need to get a RAT pack going out your way. Sucks the dealer isn't more "into" it.

Triumph are all talk, they like to think there is a strong RAT community but they way RAT’s are treated soon there will be splinter groups. I managed to get a 07 patch but had to wait until October 2007 to get it. Triumph knows who buys their bikes maybe they should send them out by post. It’s about time that ARAT (alternative RAT) should be started and a small yearly subscription of a few £ or $

You got your patch early! You have to ride the entire year before you earn your 07 patch.

RATs are grassroots riders man. If we want Triumph RAT to do or be something, we need to make it happen. I've still not heard back from Triumph about bringing Torque back as a grassroots publication, but I'm serious about the proposal.

Have to ride the whole year before getting a patch? Funny. When I bought my Bonnie in '04, I got a RAT patch, pin and helmet sticker within a week's time. I got Torque every quarter. But, in '05 and '06 I got nothing (excepting the occaisional Torque or as it is now called TRIUMPH). When I bought my Tiger a few months ago, I got nothing, excepting a survey to see how the dealer treated me.

Granted, I don't like patches on my gear. The helmet sticker came off after doing the ton on GA-400. The pin is taking up space in a desk drawer. But, I don't feel the sense of appreciation I felt when I bought my first Triumph. (And I miss Torque. It was great when it had all the RAT pack info and articles about the factory. Now it's an overly slick fashion mag)

Yah, I got mine at the November RAID and thought it was odd to get it at the end of the year. But until then, I really hadn't missed it....

I miss Torque too. I've posted some here about petitioning Triumph to host an online and email based Torque newsletter. It will be a while before I hear back, but my dealer put my letter to Triumph in the dealer reps hands. I think if Triumph goes for it, the content will be better than the previous Torque.

Got my '07 patches (thanks whoa) and they are OK, but I sure wish they would stay with the rat riding the triangle style patch. One like that without a year on it would be a great general RAT patch. Heck I would pay for them if they were available on line or something.
