Basically mate - and I don't want to put a downer on it - a load of Trumpets meet at a famous greasy spoon.
Oh, Triumph will probably have their artic there and the place will be packed.
It's a laugh and gets you out of the house on a Sunday!

Okay Buddy Boy! First....I'd say you'd better lighten up of the coffee intake. You're MUCH too "chipper"!  Secondly....THESE are the ground rules around here: This place is a somber and respectful entity, who's SOLE PURPOSE is the betterment of Triumph owners and their machines! GOT IT?! Dwight (hey guys...ya think I scared 'im????)   (WELCOME DUDE!!!) 
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

So, did you buy your bike from Robert @ Hughendon M40 then? I got my pre-registered 04 with 9 miles on the clock from him for £800 off list! Would probably still be using him, but I moved to Wellingborough and there is a dealer 10 minutes away!

Jim, We are aiming to be at the Ace for about Noon. If you are going will meet you there, will ride back with you, I am stopping at Haddenham on the way back, a friend of mine has just taken over a pub there, so thought I would stop for coffee!!!!! Ade, unless we do the M40 then we could pick up Jan and Jim on the way down? Would mean you leaving earlier though!!!!! Hehe, we are being so decisive about these meeting places that we are starting to sound like a bunch of women (oops sorry Gina-you can hit me at the Ace)

hey...what a warm and friendly lot you all are..thanks for that.
So, not in any particular order:
Dwight....have removed the Espresso drip from my wrist and remember and respect all ground rules....possibly.
Nobby....Yes, did the deal with Robert at Hughendons..good guys to deal with.
Rod.... My names Jim, and I ride a Bonneville America, oh, and an ST1050, have an unhealthy addiction to Triumphs, thats what the wife thinks anyway! and I live in Thame, and I dont know anyone called Clarisa, neither do I know any silent lambs....honest !!!! but I know a man who does!
Gina....please dont hit me tooooo hard.
Paul....If you're coming down the M40 then I could meet you somewhere, if not then I'll see you there. Errrr..with all those here that are going to the Ace, how do I recognise you,...do you wear a flower in your buttonhole, or have secret squirrel handshakes or something??

Now what is it they say about nurses being overworked and under paid. (last comment will not be admissible in any arguement after midnight tonight )

Jim - you're not the one I'm going to hit....yet. There is time.... Paul....regretably I don't have access at work...and if I did I'd do even less than I do now!!!And as for the " Now what is it they say about nurses being overworked and under paid. (last comment will not be admissible in any arguement after midnight tonight )"....I'm not commenting today. I got paid for 3 hours I haven't worked. However tomorrow is another matter.
