American RATs in France

My wife and I have just returned from a great 2 week holiday in France. Several years ago we took a tour in Greece. It was a company advertised in Torque, (back when torque was a magazine for motorcycle nuts). There we met some good RATs from France. We spent 2 weeks in France, and visited lovely places all along the west of France, ending up in the south of France. It was just splendid, we are very lucky. The weather was not very good in the south of France, and unfortunately I only got the Ride a souped up T100 through the mountains of the south of France for one day

I know that right now RAT in the US in not doing well, but I must tell you all to try to hang in there and hope that they will get their act together soon, it is worth it. The local RAT packs are still strong in a number of areas and hopefully that will be a good starting point to encourage RAT US to make some changes and get together with the packs and try to build something truly exceptional.

These people are just great and the common bond of the love of good motorcycles is universal. I have seen a beautiful country, and met wonderful people all because of RAT. I hope that RAT can once again promote a motorcycling experience that no other motorcycle company can match.

Triumph has passonate riders all over the world, I hope to meet more RATs from around the world, and to do that we need a strong worldwide network.
RAT can promote this meeting of the minds and Triumph can benefit from it in both sales and image. Hopefully someone can find a way to rebuild RAT world with or without the factory, it neds to be done and I am ready to do what ever I can to help it along.
