Bear with me on this one Derek. My thirty mile errand turned into a not unusual 85 mile ride, with a stop at the shop on the return leg. Whose there ,but my old pal Dick, who used to ride a BA, but now rides a Vulcan. The shop sells both.
So I says to Dick, "Were you at the RAT meeting a couple of years ago, when that squirrelly road rep passed out anniversary patches?" Dicks and older fellow, as is myself, and after a moments ponder he relies, "Ya, I was." Did you get a patch ? Yep, I did. What did you do with it ? I think it's still in my jacket ! " So we mosey out to his bike and he pulls a pristine "Triumph Anniversary" patch out of the inside pocket and hands it to me. " Whadda ya want for it Richard? it's for a guy I know from an on-line BA site ? Ah nothin, do whatever you want with it."
So there's the story. You must be living right! Get your address to me and I'll pop it in the mail, or brown truck or whatever your little ole heart desires.


I used to have a handle on life, but it broke .
