Please feel sorry for me.

[Speedy]

Hi,
Sorry - this might sound a bit silly :blush: - but when I bought my Triumph I joined RAT, but only on the website, we obviously don't have a pack around here in the outback of Nelspruit besides that only 2 of us ride Triumphs here, what do I do? I seem to be missing out on lots of events and things - most Triumph related dealings I have are either with TTC or Centurion, do I have to buy a bike from a dealer before I can join their pack? How does it work? Since cleaning up my act a few years ago I find that I tend to avoid most of the big ralleys and jols - "lead us not into temptation" you know. Gets kind of boring just doing breakfast runs and rides around here - all alone

I know how you feel. I have a “dealer†here in PE but no RAT pack. My RAT pack is also TTC, still have to go on a ride with them.

 

[Lioness]

Speedy you are welcome to join any of the RAT runs. We have runs far and wide and often join the runs organised by other packs. We will keep you posted when and where and you'd better tag along. Our runs are quite "civilised", not at all like your regular "rally".

 

[Gromit]

Yeah! What she said.

Thanks :y115:, that would be nice, if someone can let me know I'll gladly make a plan to attend. (I feel better now)

Fouriesburg coming up next month!

 

[DaveM]

You are lucky in the respect that you are a reasonable distance to join in with this mad lot. I wish I could …….. and NO I will not be coming to Freezingburg thanks :y114:

 

[grandpaul]

No way I'm feeling sorry for you.

The nearest Triumph rider to me is over 150 miles away.

The nearest RAT pack is 250 miles away.

 

[Speedy]

Woaw, talk about lonely. h: I thought the Triumph brand was more popular in the states, or are you just in a very remote part of the country?

 

[grandpaul]

WAAAAAAY down south, on the border with Mexico.

Even though we are now over 250,000 population, we don't even have a HONDA dealer if you can believe that!
