Nope, no issues with Triumph that I ever heard. In fact, a couple issues of Torque ago, there is even a picture of Me, Benny, Jaymo and biker working on bikes in my driveway at the previous year's NorEaster.
I have met Matt from RAT a couple times down in Georgia and he is a very standup kinda guy, as is Peter Carleo. They have always been very supportive of us, however not in print due to legal issues I'm sure you can figure out.
As for the previous RAT coordinator, we'll just let sleeping dogs lie.
Sincerely,
Pat Whitbeck and his New York Riding Buddies.
