Is anybody going?
Martin and I are leaving early for GA so we can hit this.
I've been all over the the TRAT.net site and the only info
that I can find is the registration form. Since this is a
Triumph sponsered event, I thought it was a big deal, and
would be all over the website.
I was wrong.
After making at least 5 posts in different places, and pm'ing
two of the moderators, all with no response, I'm getting a
bit discouraged.
The registration fee of $50 gets you dinner and a t-shirt.
Neither of which I'm particularily interested in. I just
thought it would be fun to meet, and ride with, some other
Triumph folks.
At this point I told Martin that we should just crash the
event, or ride by ourselves while we're in the area.
Why is Triumph so lame?

I believe the issue is when they heard we're coming,
they thought it prudent at this juncture
to withdraw any and all further details
in hopes we might
pass them by

The first RAT Raid of the year is the "Great Smokey Mountain Raid".



April 27-29th: The Great Smoky Mountain Raid (previously known as "The Dragon Raid") is being held at the Nantahala Village in Bryson City, NC. Triumph Motorcycles will have exclusive rights to the entire resort for this event. The website for the resort is www.nvnc.com , the phone number is 800.438.1507. It is located about 35-40 minutes from the Dragon. This is a BYOB facility. . . . .

Edited: Yeah, not a whisper from anyone. Just announcements. Great riding in that area. Take 28 north

I'm staying at Nantahala Village,we'll be rolling in about lunch Fri and leaving Sun afternoon.I have'nt got a room yet for GA but plan on making it probably Sat since it's only about a 1 1/2 ride or so for me.Give me a shout look for a BA with UnionJack tank with a HD Fatboy taging along.
I'll be the good looking guy with the Triumph shirt on HA!!
(older,grey,overweight is considered good looking RIGHT!!)
