The other Triumph site got sold. Wow they now have a base site thats free or a pay site that gives you a vip lounge if you pay you can get rid of the ads and boy are there ads. It be a good day to send some money to the future fund Robert does this site for free and I personally would like to keep it that way

I remimber when "the other site" was started..the founder was talking about it at the Fayettiville , AR shop one Saturday morning....many moons ago....it felt kinda special to have a genuine Triumph site on the web....time has marched on and the "other site" gave into crass commercialization and really lost its early , front porch flavor.....the front porch flavor is still alive here, on this site....lets keep it live and local yall !

Where does it say they got sold? Looks like they just added an enhanced premium option subscription model. Maybe you meant to say "The other Triumph site sold out."

When was TriumphRat.Net Started?
The first version of TriumphRat.Net was a small site created for a local rider group, lasting just a few months. The second version of TriumphRat.Net was started in December 2001, and existed for over five years. A third version was later introduced, running an entirely different core portal structure.
The site you see today is the fourth version of TriumphRat.Net, after joining the Motorcycle.com Network.

I hope we dont sufer the same fate...being sold and becoming a paid membership type of site.
I got turned off to the other site by a few things over time...
1) I found BA.com (which is by far a better place to be).
2) Anytime BA.com was mentioned on the other site the post was deleted.
3) They recently got rid of the seperate America/Speedy portion and absorbed it into the rest of the site.
I still lurk on the other site but rarely if ever post anymore. The site overall doesnt seem to be to adversly affected (I dont get pop ups like some have complained about) but it did lose something...cant put my finger on it tho.
SOLD: 07 Black BA, 39mm FCRs, TPUSA stage 1 head, TPUSA 813 cams, TPUSA 10.8:1 pistons, TTP #3 igniter, Specialty Spares Long Cannons, Tsukayu Hard Bags. 82HP/55tq

I haven't posted for a long time over there and hardly visit anymore. sorta feel alienated with all the changes and then sweatmachine becoming a moderator was something I never expected. ( not that it's a bad thing) it's just they're going through a lot of changes over there. It's going to take a lot of getting used to and I'd rather spend my time over HERE.

Mike, it looks like you have one of the faster cardinal red and silver TBAs.
I would be unstoppable if not for law enforcement and physics.

I think I posted there twice, Once to intro myself, I think the only one that replied was sombody that recognized me from here. Hanvt been there to lurk in over a year...Cant remember what my pass word was either. Used to check out the clssifieds but they had some weird rule you had to have x number of posts to be able to buy somthing  or was it sell somthing,,Dont remember anyhow it was pretty freaking boring too formal.

I havent browsed the forums over there in a year or longer. I did post once earlier this year to announce the RAT Lunch in Chehalis and that was about it. This is home.
