Hi Dave:
I think he was quoting Groucho Marx about clubs.
I have to agree with you, I don't have time either. This list is my Triumph
Club. Gives me access to a much larger group of great people than any one
city could provide and I don't have to drive 3000 miles to meet them. I have
met a few people in Montreal through the list. There doesn't seem to be a
local club here to join. Too bad. So for me the list is it.
That being said, I would like to try and make it to one of the VTR or TRF
events next year. It's about a 10-12 hour drive to Ohio or West PA, but only
2 1/2 hours to Stowe VT, so at least I can try to go to The British
Invasion.
Cheers,
Mark Hooper

Hello Jerry,
I don't really have strong feelings about this, my schedule of a day
job
and working as a musician about 46 weekends a year prohibits me from
becoming
involved in "clubs " but....... I think people gravitate to where they
want
to go and hang with the people they feel most comfortable with. If the
VTR or
any sub group is the " be all and end all " people will end up there.
Friendships, politics and everything else enter into it.
Why do we get so involved with our " home football team ? " The
Browns
or whatever ? At 50 years of age, I'm glued to the set on Sundays when
the
Browns are on. It really seems silly, but I am. I don't root for the
whole
NFL.
Maybe Woody Allen quoted someone else best when he said " I
wouldn't
want to belong to any club that would have me as a member. "
Saying all that, Anyone who loves Triumphs is cool with me........
Hope all is well with your TR4a. ( They are the best Triumphs
anyway.
