VTR is still trying to put together a good ="Road Assistance Program"=, all
of the same features, the book is out, just not enough people in it. On my
recent trip to VTR S.E., I had drive train problems, pulled out from my
travel kit, VTR quarterly magizine, there was a name, address, phone #, and
my car was fixed by the N. Florida Triumph Club, all thanks to the listing
of clubs/zones etc in the VTR publication. Yes we need more travel related
assisstance. "FT"
