So, yesterday was Triumph's spring open house at all the dealers in the U.S. My dealer, Cascade Moto Classics always does something good for the open houses (food, band, door prizes and a whole lot of fun). There is usually a huge turn-out, lots of people coming and going all day and soem of us hanging out alll day. Yesterday was no exception. For a lot of us, the dealership and our RAT Pack is like family. So, in the middle of the day, in the midst of everything going on, our pack leader, grabs the mike and announces that Monday is my birthday. My girlfriend brings out this awesome cake that has a picture of my bike on it and the band plays happy birthday. It was definitely a suprise. My girlfriend, my pack leader and the owners of the shop had been conspiring this for several weeks. I had absolutely no idea. My girlfriend, who has yet to meet my parents in person, had been talking to them and my brothers about it too. It was very cool, slightly embarassing, but very cool. Nobody has ever done anything like that for me before. I might have to keep this girl.  Ome more thing, one of the doorprises was one of the shirts that Triumph sent to all the dealers for the opne house. I managed to win one in the last hourly drawing of the day. Soren

I'm sorry I had to leave early that day.  Hope you had a great one. I'm glad you got a pic, 'cause that was pretty darn cool. Did I give you a copy of our special MRNB birthday song? If not I'll have to get it for you.
