I know it's not a BA or SM but I have to brag (no that’s not me). I couldn't figure out how to add the pic to the post so if you are interested it is in the gallery.
My 73 Trident took 1st place in the European class - 2 Nortons
1 BMW, and my Trident.

Congratulations. Those early 70's Tridents are great motorcycles. I had a friend with one, we'd take off for camping trips all over SW Wisconsin and along the Mississippi river corridor. Came off a steep hill "at speed" once, hit a dip in the road and became airborne for a bit. Fortunately the camping gear was tied on real good

No I have never made it to Triumph come home, I plan on it every year but I never seem to get around to it. Maybe next year?
This week was in Lansdale PA - Lansdale Bike Night they were guessing around 10,000 bikes total, my guess is around 250 to 350 being judged 4 in my class (European class).
