[TR] Drive Your Triumph Day 2021

[Bob]

Rye,

I will make it a point to sit for a few minutes in my 3 Triumphs. I am 
guessing the temps here in upstate NY will be well below freezing. The 
cars will not be started as their batteries are in the cellar on 
tenders. Maybe by the middle of April like this year?

Anyway, I look forward to the photos from all participating members.

Bob
