Christmas Greetings everyone!

Our RAT ride was pleasant as Mike Sorge lead the ride up to Skyline and down the coast via the twisties. The weather was beautiful but a little cold. People started arriving around 1 PM and the ride returned just in time for hot turkey and pork roast. The gathering was great and Triumph Trivia was, as usual, pretty interesting. The winner was Mike Vetter, who doesn�t even ride a Triumph. Come on guys, let�s brush up! These are our kids we�re talking about! Thanks to CAL Moto (California Triumph) there were wonderful prizes. Everyone had a wonderful time and all left with full stomachs and presents.

We will be posting the new rides for the year 2006 and just as an early heads ups, our RAT Raid will be in August 2006, so let�s get an early start for registration. Our Raid will be up in Lake Tahoe and should be wonderful.

Our next meeting will be January 11th and the ride will be the following (SUNDAY)! We will have our rides on Sundays unless otherwise noted. If anyone would like to have Saturday rides please let us know so we can alternate the days at times.

It�s been a challenging year everyone, so let�s move into 2006 with a bright smile bushy tails and our Triumphs!

For those of you who haven�t seen the new Triumphs (Scrambler and 675 Daytona) keep an eye open for them at the shops.

Well, It�s Christmas Eve and all is bustling about to find that last perfect present. We in the RAT Pack hope you have a Merry Christmas and a GREAT Triumph New Year. See you next year,

RAT Leader,
