Wow, I didn't know that Triumph sponsored RAT Events anymore.

Corporate doesn't officially sponsor it, the dealerships do. But last year corporate showed up with some swag to raffle off including some very nice jackets. So there IS some support happening...

My buddy Rick with the yellow wing is thinking of coming up again. He owns a Triumph but never rides it since he got the wing.

Hmmmm, I'm gonna have to seriously look at this trip across the continent as something that gets me home in time for the Raid, or I go after. It's starting to sound like a lot of new faces will be there.
