Sorry I didn't run into you guys, did have a long chat over the speed triple vs street. I guess you just have to have both. Call me a dreamer.

Sounds like we all had the same experience at the same places last weekend, only at different times! Oh well -- that was just the show. The important thing is that we'll be able to ride soon, and I know we'll all get together for that!!!

I sure hope we get to ride soon! I am starting to have severe winter anemia or something. I can hardly stand it anymore. I spent hours watching YouTube and leaning right along with the videos I was watching.

Question

Someone help me here. I just picked up a used '00 Sprint a couple of weeks ago. Could someone explain RAT to me? I've got a clue that it is a brand specific riding group, but the details elude me.

What's a RAT

Stands for Riders Association of Triumph. You get a free factory membership with your VIN number from any Hinkley triumph you own. This Rat.Net web site is independent of the factory and is supported by triumph riders and adverts. Triumph.UK will mail out a quarterly magazine and some dealers have RAT packs. As a RAT member the dealer may offer a 15% discount on triumph parts and service. Our Minnesota rat is out of Belle Plaine Motorsports.
Our web site is at: http://motocore.net/core/network

You may have to register Via the http://bpmsrat.com/core/gateway

Our RAT's first Spring ride will be part of the:
Belle Plaine Motorsports RAT
2008 April 26 Saturday 9:00 am

"Triumph Open House" April 22-26
The 'Plan Your Escape' Spring Open House have specials including a FREE Condor Pit Stop Stand with every new Triumph bike purchase during the event. More specials to be announced. Come into Belle Plaine Motorsports to participate!

I see on your profile that you are a photographer. What kind of shooting do you do? I used to work as a shooter in the newpaper biz, but got out six years ago.... Now I work in juvenile corrections. Go figure.

I see a trend

I was a commercial photog, now I work for the State Historical Society.
I would rather ride my motorcicle.
