THE POCONO RAID

Some of the best motorcycle, riding can be found while winding through the mountains and along the natural sweeping curves of streams and rivers. Pocohanne, an Indian word meaning "A stream between mountains", this was the inspiration behind the name Pocono. In 2006 the Riders Association of Triumph will be blasting through the mountains and valleys of the Pocono Mountain region. The raid will be based out of the Pocono Manor. Known as the "Grand Lady of the Mountains" to locals, this Inn has been around since 1902, just like our favorite motorcycles! Located within reach of some incredible destinations such as Hawks Nest in Port Jervis, the Pocono International Raceway, and Bushkill Falls Ò the Niagara falls of Pennsylvania, and the only thing better than the destinations are the roads to get there! Some amenities of the Manor include golf, horseback riding, fishing, sporting clays, bocce, indoor tennis, and spa. For lodging call the Manor at 800.233.8150 www.poconomanor.com (http://www.poconomanor.com). This weekend is a catered function and space is limited. Guarantee your spot by pre-registering in advance with RAT. To pre-register with RAT for this event, download the flyer from www.TriumphMotorcycles.com (http://www.triumphmotorcycles.com) or send an email to ratamerica@triumphmotorcyles.com and request a flyer for this particular weekend.

Yah I dropped the ball on that, I had been meaning to post the raid info for a couple weeks now.  It was the last minute I thought to post.  My neighbor & good friend is the local RAT leader for DC, so he keeps me informed.  



I will get info for how to keep tabs on the RAT event.  I talked with Matt who is the RAT Triumph Representitive for the U.S. real nice guy, they move from region to region in the U.S over the summer.  



About 120 riders showed up, it was an perfect weather & riding up there was amazing.
