Triumph will NOT be hosting any Raids. Per Peter Carleo.

Hmm... what about Rallies then, I wonder?

What is Mac Benson going to do with all his free time??? I hear that he hasn't communicated appreciably much, up to this point?

I am an "ex" leader, so out of the communication loop mostly these days. In past experience, the calendar doesn't usually come out for the new year until sometime in the first couple of months.

What "Rally"? I am a pack leader and I have heard absolutely nothing. That is why I called Triumph North America. Peter Carleo affirmed that if anything was going to happen, it will be done by the dealers and their packs. And we were talking about the 2009 season. I believe Mac is who I talked to at VMD. He said he would be calling in a couple of weeks. So far, my phone is silent. Trust me, I want to see some "raids-rallies" but everything says that it is up to us. I am all for it.

This is why I am trying to put together a raid for the midwest. Check this forum and post your intentions to come.

Well, in 2009, we had a single Rally, at VMD. Peter Carleo is not the guy that plans things for RAT. You and all the other pack leaders should be calling Mac Benson and finding out what he is planning. If I was still a pack leader, I'd be badgering him to death right now.....

I'll talk to anyone at Triumph. So far, Peter and Matt are the only ones to return a call.

I sent a note to Mac Benson, and this is the reply:

Hey Scot,

We are working on some ideas, I will keep you in the loop.

Talk to you soon,

Mac Benson

So, I'd be paitient on planning anything at this point - it might get stepped on by the official events cooking...
