search boxes, and RAT patches

[xhdskip]

is there a search box that I've missed?
I can't believe theres not one.
On the left of the page I see the "google search"
but I haven't seen a site search or thread search or topic search, or by poster.
Am I just blind or stupid or both?
I was wanting to search Triumph RAT patches,
in hopes I could find some to finish out my collection.
I've got a few different ones to swap for some I'm missing.
I would even buy the ones I need, Or swap PGR pins and patches.
The years I need are 95-, 96-, 97-, 98-, 99-, 2001-, 2006.
The ones I have to swap are 2005, and 2007.
PGR is the patriot guard riders, we honor fallen veterans in the U.S.
If anyone is interested please PM me, or my e-mail is: www.rocket3man@rocketmail.com .
Thanks for any help, xhdskip

Skip, I need to find the box I packed this sort of stuff in and see what I have. I have 2003 - 2006. I have nothing prior to 2003. I have moved and that stuff is still packed away - somewhere. Maybe some of our other members have some of these years.

Carl,
I made a mistake in that last post.
I said I needed '05 patches, then said I had '05 patches to swap.
I meant '04. Oh well, I'm not perfect (as my wife will certainly attest to).
I've rounded up all the 2000's except 2006.
It seems everybody wants rat patches, and I've found a lady in Tulsa
who can make them. She makes patches for a living.
Only problem is, she needs one to make the others off of.
I'd buy any I could get, if anyone wants to come off them.
I'd even buy the years I've already got, in hopes I could swap them off for ones I don't have.
Thanks again,
skip

 

[CarlS]

If I can find the box, I do have an 04.

 

[xhdskip]

Carl,
The ones I need are '01 & '06.
Here's what I've got right now.
#1 2000
#0 2001
#1 2002
#1 2003
#2 2004
#1 2005
#0 2006
#5 2007
#1 2008
I'm suppose to have a 2000 and a 2001 comming from France.
I hope so. I'd also like to get another '08 as the one I've got now was sewn on my vest
before I had the idea of having sets made up.
But I'm steadily searching for extras.
Just in case somebody wants to sell, trade, or donate to the cause, my address is
Skip Wilson
P.O. Box 434
Barnsdall, Ok. 74002

 

[DaveM]

That is very cool how about a photo of them all :y18:

 

[CarlS]

Skip, I don' have any prior to 03. I'm not sure if I have an 06. I discovered that the box this stuff is in is in storage in Ocala. I will be in Ocala in the next two weeks to pick up Mae Lyne's bike and I will look.

I agree with Dave. Lay them out, take a pic, and post it.

 

[xhdskip]

Thanks Carl, I appreciate it.
Dave, I'll be happy to post pics of all I have so far.
I'll get close ups instead of a group picture of them all.
Got a funeral to go to today, but I'll sure try to post them later today.
Dave , if you know any Triumph riders in your neck of the woods,
tell them if they got RAT patches and ain't using them,
I'll sure buy them or swap some American patches and pins for them.
Ever heard of the Patriot Guard Riders? You tube it, its cool.
I've got PGR patches and pins I'd swap.
Thanks guys,

Skip, I just stepped down as as the Florida PGR State Captain on Jan 4th after my year term. I had two missions at the Florida National Cemetery yesterday and one this past Friday.

 

[Dilligaf]

Hey Carl,

Did I not send my RAT patches with Mae Lynns T100? I gave them to someone but forgot who.

 

[CarlS]

Yes, you did and we have them but those are Mae Lyne's and she ain't gonna part with 'em!

 

[Dilligaf]

Good for her.

 

[xhdskip]

Glad to hear somebody else likes them too. :y115:
ok, fixing to try to post pics.

[CarlS]

Good pics, Skip; thanks much.

What Dilligaf was referring to is that we bought Gary's T100 for Mae Lyne and he shipped from CA to FL. He gave her the patches, pins, etc. And she values them.

 

[xhdskip]

I sure don't blame her. I think its cool she values them.
If she has any I don't have , y'all take a pic and post them.
I'd sure like to see an original and the pre 2000's.

 

[DaveM]

Skip thanks for posting the pics of them it is very cool to see all of them and how they have changed. Unfortunately we don't have a RAT group here but I will keep a look out for anyone that may be in for a trade with you :y18:

 

[xhdskip]

Thanks Dave.
Since you don't have a pack where you live, why don't you start one up?
It's good to get together with fellow Triumph enthiusists.
There's only 4 of us within about 30 miles.
My Black on Black '07 Rocket, and 3 Bonnies.
But, it's still a good time cause there's several in Tulsa, and thats where the pack is.

 

[DaveM]

We did sort of have one but it just fizzled out and died :silent:

 

[xhdskip]

We had one at one time, but then the Triumph dealer folded and like yours, it fizzled.
Now we have a new dealer and they support it, of course, since they're also the Victory,
and BMW dealer they want to lump us all together for a ride.
It's still better than nothin and when we get enough Triumphs we can break away,
still keeping the sponsorship of the dealer. Good luck.
