TriumphRat has been getting some hits, and Jason has come on strong, but the BBC, Daily Mail and Motorcycle News have just ignored me. I'll try again later this week.<BR/>Keep it going Mate, we're with you to the finish,<BR/>Martin (Loosehead)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-49177870494329464.post-16069533374212320782008-10-20T07:01:00.000-07:002008-10-20T07:01:00.000-07:00Hi Geoff..

If ever there was a way to say "Triumphs are reliable", your venture is certainly very solid evidence of this claim. You deserve better!<BR/><BR/>You and both of the charities involved deserve better. I've made a stink in a couple of places, because it just irks me to no end, to see the royals doing a 1000k dirt bike ride for charity and getting huge press, and here you two are/were, traveling 25k on your own dime, with no support crew, riding BRITISH bikes and you just can;t seem to get the press you deserve.<BR/><BR/>You have stayed true to the spirit of your insanity and have gained respect from me and anyone I know who had read your story. You should be proud of your humanity and I hope that your country men can wake up and bring you and your charity goals home with the honor and respect you, Alan and the bikes deserve.<BR/><BR/>TOA ( triumph of America ) should be doing something to smooth your way back to the UK... <BR/><BR/>Shame, is a word that could be used to to describe how Triumph should feel about how they have behaved.. yes they came through for Alan, but again they had to be forced into it.<BR/><BR/>Ride safe friend.<BR/><BR/>Jason<BR/><BR/>( who tossed in a few cookies last week )Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-49177870494329464.post-50320306434558368212008-10-20T03:46:00.000-07:002008-10-20T03:46:00.000-07:00Not too much luggage then ;-), ..
