Lola's Alabama debut 2. First time EVER seeing other Triumphs on the road 3. First sustained 85 mph for 7 hours Old Roadie is actually not old . Had fun , guys n girl ! Thanks , Ed , John , Mark , Kimmy Going home on 6 wheels was a bummer The tired girl is asleep in the garage with Happy Harley and Yippie Yamaha . 2005 Model . Two Fast Eddy stickers , a bell and a clock . She's Lola . She tinkles and keeps time . http://s649.photobucket.com/albums/uu211/britbike05/

Glad your ride went well, it was a tough call choosing between two rides like that, BUT the pancake run was cool... and very foggy... with occasional drizzle... right until the very end (literally in the last 2 miles or so) when the sun broke through and made us smile. Thom I might be wrong, I sometimes am.

The mirror tells me a different story every morning when that geezer (whoever he is) looks back at me. We had a good ride and I hated for it to end but as I predicted I still had time to get in cut 2 acres on my other weekend ride, a green with yellow trim John Deere. Thanks for coming over, I'll see if I can't work out another run plan that we can share...it was truly a blast not being the only Triumph on the road for a change. A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)
