Sure to be another night of amusing anecdotes from our friend John Young. John will be recalling last years trip when he flew to Perth, hired a bike (Triumph of course), then rode it over two and a half thousand miles, yes that's 2,500 miles to the Aussie Triples Rally at Evans Head, NSW. Then another quick jaunt to Sydney and Adelaide before flying back to Perth and then back home. Approx. 4,500 miles on the hire bike plus approx. 500 more miles on Triples loaned to him while he was in Perth and Evans Head.

Ex I.O.M. TT sidecar winner Micky Wynn who currently works for Alpine Stars will be giving us an insight into all aspects of motorcycle clothing. Mick gives an interesting introduction covering his racing history and shares the knowledge he has accrued over decades working in the industry. A light buffet will also be served.

Branch member Peter Gray is organising a ride for North B'ham VMCC and has extended an invitation to any B'ham & Wolves TOMCC members that would like to go along. The ride will be a loop of approx. 110 miles on 'A' and 'B' roads starting at Jackfield (address above), and finishing at Tony's diner Quatt.

Returning to Penkridge for the third year. The Thunderbird Rally offers all the usual goodies you would expect from a well established event and more. Come and join us for a weekend in the centre of some of the countries most picturesque and historic surroundings and enjoy the company of like minded riders.

A chance to show off your pride & joy and maybe take home an award, or just come along to admire the other bikes. Hopefully there will be some sort of food, but as yet that is to be decided and arranged, and will be confirmed closer to the date There will be an award for best visitor / non-Triumph, so if you have friends that aren’t yet branch members they’re still in with a chance and they get to meet the rest of us at the same time. If they are Triumph owners we may even be able to talk them into joining up too. Just five days after the longest day this should be a glorious Summer evening to share with like minded riders over a cold glass or two. Please invite any bike riding friends, the more, the merrier.
