Triumphrat

Hey all-

I was doing my usual run up 9W near Bear Mountain. The weather was absolutely perfect. But something was different today . . .

I actually saw other Triumphs!

1st a nice red TT600
Then a yellow/black TBS
Then an orange/black TBS
Then a '79 Bonnie (what a nice sound to that exhaust, too)
Then another S3 (it was Gdsila, and we did a little riding on Rt 218)
Then a red/black Speedmaster

Glad to see other T's out there :upthumb:

I am amazed that you guys didnt know about that part of 218 then loop around down 9W to 293...And from what your buddy on the Gixxer said about locking up the rear(and fishtailing) at 120mph chasing me I amazed that he didnt wreck. When I got back to the "Rock"I went to the hangout spot and found out the guy who runs a local custom chopper shop called Mayhem cycles wrecked at lo speed with his girlfriend on back. Also found out a local 20 yr old managed to kill himself on a sportbike last nite.
I know everyones eager to ride with the weather finally breaking and all but please! Saftey first.

Yeah, I know what you mean. My buddy (my brother actually) and I were shocked when you passed that bus on the blind hill . . . it's easy to get carried away on these roads up here.

Thanks for showing us that route . . VERY nice. I can't believe I never made that turn to head that way before.

PM me when you're going to be around and we'll blast some corners again.
