According to the Triumph website there is a group called RAFFS in Fareham near Portsmouth. Anyone know if this group is active? If so, do they have a convenient online method of keeping in contact/planning events/etc.? The suggested Raffety Newman dealership website as well as the Triumph website seemed to only have very out of date information; it could just be that it is winter. I am working on getting my motorcycle shipped over from the US so I'm curious what the scene is like over here. Had a pretty good group back in Charlotte, North Carolina. Hope to hear from someone!

Sorry its taken a while to reply, just seen this.

Raff rats is active, mainly a mix of rocket, and bonnie type bikes, very few Sprints, Speed Triples etc.

They have just posted their plans for this year on the Rafferty Newman website

Been out a few times with them but they don't really suit my type of riding ( sports tourer and twisty back roads)

If you email the sales team on the web site they will forward your email on to the organiser Mike.

Hopefully will be getting a Scrambler in the next two weeks from Rafferty in Fareham, i'll be looking for local fellow enthusiasts and advice on mods, i'll have to look into it..

There is another group just up the A3 from there that have some good sounding rides planed for this year and there are some really good roads in that area as well, I lived down there for the last couple of years before moving up to London and I miss riding down that way.
