Quote: I am relatively new to the board and have never attended one of these rallies as a rider/customer (covered the races in my sportswriter days), and I am going to ride out from Pittsburgh Saturday morning.
My first time too for a Triumph sponsored event.
Quote: Boy do I have questions. I have not gotten my shiftless a** signed up for a local RAT yet -- does that preclude me from parking in the Triumph RAT area? What do you do with your gear when you park -- is there a central gear check, or do you lug it w/ you the best you can? If not RAT parking, where do the other bikes rest?
I think the Triumph parking is for everyone with a Triumph not just people who have signed up for the "special" party. I know there is a gear check in but at any big bike event I've always just left my gear with the bike and it's been fine. As for the RAT pack, I've never been a part of one.
Quote: I was also hoping to meet some of you good - and maybe not so good ;-) - folks whose posts I have been reading on this site for more than a year. Are BA folk congregating anywhere on the grounds? Sorry for so many questions, and thanks for your indulgance.
I know I'll be wearing one of my many BA.com rally shirts so just look for that and introduce yourself. The more of us that are together the better and that way you can get all of us answering you questions at the same time to confuse you.
Some of us are going to the Triumph sponsored dinner Saturday night but I don't know how long we will be there for it and I'm sure we will be meeting up with the others after.
