Hey

Thanks and I'm glad you got BJ out and the sky is clearing

It's starting to look a 'little' better here, so I may be lucky. You have a great time with the folks and

the weekend

Just stumbled upon this thread.....
Congrats on the new Bike Al - great choice, looks really nice.
And welcome to the Triumph family. Did they sign you up for your free RAT membership? There is quite and active group of guys in Palmy, and they are organising a rally there for the end of the year.

Hello Sels, and thanks

She is a beauty alright, and I'm just over the moon to have her

I believe I will receive membership to the club, and I'll look into this further asap.

I can't wait to get her run in and really looking forward to a few outings with you guys!

Looks like it's clearing up here so I'll be out and about soon to tick off a few more run in miles

Yes more Gold than Yellow Lissa, the phone pics dont quite capture the true splender that ones eyes feast on while gorking!.....somewhere between the first pics and chanceyy's ones....
