Hey everyone, I was at Pete's yesterday and talking with John and he
had a good suggestion so I'll run it by everyone else. He suggested
that we move the meeting up a week and do it this coming week so we can
get organized for the show in two weeks. That way if there are thing we
need to do we have time to get them done. How does everyone feel about
moving the meeting to this Wednesday? Do-able? Let me know. We do need
to finish putting a schedule together so everyone has a chance to
participate. I've started one, will post what I have on here or by e-
mail by tomorrow.

Ahh, maybe that's the case then. Sign in first before filling out the
form. I didn't do that. I went straight to the form and filled it
out.  I just tested it and signed in first and then went to the form
and it was already filled in with my user info this time.
 Don't go straight to the form link.   Go to the regular Triumph.coUK/USA  link, then click on the button link on the left  "login to R.A.T."  Then click "Riders Association", after that you will see  "Your R.A.T. profile". Clicking "Your R.A.T. profile" will bring up the form already populated with your info.
  Even though when I first completed it and didn't sign in first,
after completing it, it did still recognize me as the same user
registered in 04. I guess you just don't get two years if you don't
sign in first.
 I just tried to reregister, and it just said my info had been
updated but no email back yet telling me I'm good for two years. I
guess I'm stuck having to reregister again next year. Now I feel like
a second rate RAT member :-)

Jim

Yea I'm wondering if it just started a new member ship or renewed it.

Thanks Ernie :-) The Vin should be in our wallets on our registration
cards if it's not worn off. So no need to go out in the cold and read
it off the bike or dig out the title.

Here's the link to renew membership

You will need your VIN number if it's not on file

Ok, I found it. There's no link at the RAT page. You have to go to
the Triumph page to find it. That makes alot of sence. NOT!@#$@

  Anyways, here it is.

If you have the link to the registration renewal form, please post it
here. I've been searching on the RAT page, and it's been painfuly
slow and most times the pages don't even load.

If you haven't gotten your issue of Torque that just came out, got mine
yesterday, you need to know that you need to renew/update your
membership with RAT on the Triumph website. Was reading through the
magazine and their is a small article indicating so. Just FYI. Hope to
a lot of you Sunday. Stay warm.

Hey All,

   This Sunday is our Annual Olive Garden Family RAT Pack Lunch.
Here's who I have going (if your not on the list and want to go
please let me know):

Carl 3
Kevin 2
Scott 2
Brian 2
Dave 5
Mike 4
Steve 4
Myself 4

    It will be a great time. Please if your not on the list consider
going, we had a great time last year. You order from a special menu
where everything is only $12.95 and there are lots of traditional
favorites and kids can order from the kids menu at $4.95. Looking
foward to a great time.

Graham

The NEW Torque magazine arrived today.  The enclosed DVD is pretty cool.

The calendar has been updated through March so take a look. Had a great
time on Sunday. AJ, Steve, my daughter Sarah and I went down to the DC
International Motorcycle Show. Lots of gleeming new machines. AJ had a
blast because there were 5 Italian motorcycle manufacturere displays
there. Nice bikes. We had a fun time looking at the Urals and the Royal
Enfields. Usual stuff as far as HD and others. Can't believe some of
the price tags on some of the bikes. Oh well I'm happy with my
Triumphs. See you all at the lunch.

Graham

Everyone, if you have pictures and can burn them to CD, drop them off
at Pete's with John and I'll pick them up and get them to AJ. If your
up in Harford Co. drop them of at Music Land behind the Harford Mall
with Joe (the owner) and I'll get them there as I am there four days a
week.

Just trying to find out who wants to meet up to go to DC for the
motorcycle show Sunday morning. We'll caravan/carpool down and take the
subway in. So far I have myself, AJ, Steven and Mike. We were thinking
of going down early because AJ and myself both have commitments in
later part of the day. Let me know if your interested. Breakfast?

Graham

Thanks to everyone who is giving us photos for the slide show we plan
on running at the Timonium Show...
It would be really great if you could get the photos to me on CD or
e-mail them to me in bulk.
I was trying to download them and haven't been able to get them execpt
for one photo at a time. I was hopeing to use most of your photos, so
it is taking way, way to long.
I will be meeting up with Graham to go to the bike show this weekend
in DC. or we can meet up somewhere.

thanks
AJ

Sorry I missed it, we flew back from Scotland on Wed. and I was
feeling the jet lag something fierce.

Wow are there some great motorcycle magazines in the UK. and many of
those guys and gals ride their bikes 365 days of the year. I know that
I whimp out if I see rain and cold but not in the UK.
I regularly saw and heard a guy on a nice Duc Monster going down the
road past where we were staying.

I brought bad a pile of UK bike mags if anyone is interested,

Hey,

Is anyone riding this afternoon, it is January and 60 degrees!!

Great, and thanks

If I have any problems downloading them I will give you a shout (well
an e-mail actually)

Hey all. Had a great meeting the other night, sorry we missed those of
you who couldn't make it. Dave hope your feeling better. Here's
something that will perk you up...you were the winner of the points
contest for 2006! So there is a Pete's gift card coming your way. So
start planning how your going to spend that $100.00! Kevin J. was the
winner of the mileage contest with over 18,000 miles logged in on his
Triumphs last year. Didn't know you could log that many miles going
round and round on a track;) Kevin, will get a gift card to you at next
meeting. I need those who would like to participate in this years
mileage contest to e-mail me your odometer readings on your bike(s) now.
    Sunday Jan. 14 AJ and I going to the International Motorcycle Show
in DC. Yes I know that Triumph will not be there but hey I like
motorcycles. So if anyone would like to meet up and go with us let me
know. I think we're going to leave early so we can be back in the early
afternoon.
    Sunday Jan 21 is the family lunch at the Olive Garden in White
Marsh. We're reserving tables and will get to order off of a special
menu where everything is only $12.95. Kids can order from the kids menu
($4.95). With the meal you get their usual unlimited salad, breadsticks
and your entree. The lunch is scheduled for 12 noon. We had a great
time last year I hope many can make it. It's nice to sit down with
friends and family to break bread and relax. So far I have myself,
Dave, Mike, Carl, Kevin, Scott, Brian, Steve and Ernie depending on
what time the Ravens play :) Please let me know if you are going so
that I can give the restaraunt an accurate count for the reservations.
    The Timonium Bike Show is on Feb. 9, 10, 11 2007 and we are going to
once again set up a table in the Pete's section to attract new members
and to talk Triumph's to people. If you volunteer your time you'll get
a free admission to the show. We're trying to get members to sign up
for 4 hour shifts. During that time you'll also have the opportunity to
see the show. The show goes Friday and Saturday from 10 AM to 9 PM, and
Sunday from 10 AM to 6 PM. So far I've got Carl and Ernie handling
Friday from 9 to 3, and Steve from 3 - 7. Scott and Brian said they'de
take Saturday from 10 AM to 2 PM and Kevin will come in at 4 PM. On
Sunday I can do from 10 AM till 2 PM and Carl and Brian are coming in
Sunday also. I will also man the table either Friday or Saturday
evening depending on which night needs coverage (can't do both my wife
will kill me).It would be nice to have at least two people at the table
so they can trade off taking breaks etc. So if everyone could please
give a little bit of time it will help tremendously. Remember FREE
admission! Also if you have any pictures of past Pack events, please
burn them to CD and drop them off with John and I'll pick them up and
get them to Mike or AJ who are working on the video presentation for
the show.
     We'd like to do a Pack ride on Sunday Feb. 18 depending on the
weather. Will probably be a late morning/early afternoon ride as I know
everyone is not going to want to get up and ride at 8 AM on a winter
morning, plus I'll be just returning from North Carolina the night
before. I'll plan a nice ride for us and hope that the weather will
cooperate.
     Also coming up is the Annual Pete's Cycle Open House and Poker Run
on April 14 and 15. John is trying to get the Triumph truck for demo
rides. Once again a great opportunity for us to recruit new members and
get the word out on Triumphs. We'll set up a table and help out with
the demo rides and the poker run. Will be fun.
     The Gettysburg Raid has been postponed till September. I was
talking with Ernie today and suggested that might be the perfect time
to do the Annual Mason-Dixon Run. Let me know your thoughts, but I
think May would be perfect and we could start promoting it at the
Timonium Show next month.
     Long term - Just got a very nice route map and ride review for a
ride through Delaware and southern New Jersey we could do this summer.
Still also have route map through Shenandoah Valley we could do this
summer also. Would also like to do the Gettysburg Raid in September and
Ocean City Bike Week.
     Well I think that's it. Hope everyone is having a great start for
the new year. Remember to let me know if your going to have lunch with
us at the Olive Garden. Stay safe and see you soon.

Graham

Hey all will post meeting info. and Timonium stuff Friday eve. Just
got this from Triumph thought I'd pass along.

Graham



Torque Magazine has dropped in the mail this week.  You should
receive it shortly.  We have also included a 2007 product line DVD.
Ive checked the DVD out and it is pretty cool.


The registration forms for the Raids should be on the website by the
end of this week.  We want to push to make sure that people do
register for the event if they plan on attending.  Many other
subsidiaries do events by registration only.  This allows them to
dedicate 100% of their resources to those who are definitely coming.

Gettysburg Raid date is going to change.  It looks like it will most
likely be September 21st weekend.  More on this and all other events
shortly.


Daytona Bike week.  This year the "Pub Run" is going to be held
during the daylight.  It is going to be on March 10th.  Meeting at
9:00am and departing at 9:30am.  Leaving from the Volusia Mall
parking lot and heading to St. Augustine.
