I was once member of a regional Triumph club. I participated whenever time
permitted, but as there wasn't much of it I let my membership lapse. Then I
attended a Triumph-focused meet at a local auto museum and considered
re-joining. It happened that one reasonably frequent member of this very TR
email list was an active club member, perhaps a club officer, and present at
the meet. So to meet club members and to attach a face to a TR email list
member Sharon and I went up to him and introduced outselves. His response was
to look at me with a bored expression and say "So what?" Or perhaps it was
just "So?" Needless to say, we never went back.
Those of you familiar with the part of world I live in may recognize some of
the details. That person's name still shows up here occasionally and I have
been told he is actually a nice guy.
