offered a whole fleet of demos and I very much enjoyed the T595, thank you! |

Super acceleration, lovely 130
hp... wow! Steers like nothing I've experienced before. A little less rain would have been nice, though. Great experience to drive at most illegal speed, escorted by policemen. Unfortunately a bad replacement for the Trident: every T500 rider said so: it's no fun for the pillion! |

...and the pillion is
still much appreciated!
Some RAC assitance Triumphs were there too. The boys came from UK through some heavy rain! Lots of T595s visiting the saturday. Yellow is still the most-loved colour! |

I even finished
the riderskill parcours and managed to win an extra price,
recieved from Desirée.![]() (Okay, okay only 4 Triumphisti dared to take the challenge.) |
Further activities
like a mystery tour, the Triumph display-truck, souvenir-stands, partytent with music, and a carting-circuit...
|
... so... it was lotsafun, many thanks to the RAT organisation. Finally enjoyed the film The fastest man around the world. Nick Sanders' adventure on a Daytona 900. Great day, bad weather and a too little a number of participants. Well, maybe next year...? |
