I had to laugh upon reading your note; I have friends in London who have
escaped to Ireland for the duration of the activities. They express the same
enthusiasm as you. I recall the experience when it was hosted here in
Montreal. It was most interesting for a couple of weeks, but the 30 years of
payments and corruption investigations that followed were somewhat deflating.
I imagine that London is better organised.
By the by, viz your comment about defence systems; I understand that there are
certain zones in the Big Apple that are now equipped with some interesting
toys...
for Triumph content, be sure to correctly adjust your TRs points, or the
occasional backfire when driving may get you the attention of a jumpy C-RAM
operator hiding around the next corner.

There's an urgent need for as many Triumph posts as y'all can muster
in the coming weeks for this corner of sleepy England. I suppose I should be
as enthusiastic as so many of my fellow countrymen seem to be about the very
imminent Oh_lim_pic Games. No matter where you go, what you do, whatever you
may want to see or hear on the radio and TV - all we get is an undiluted
torrent of Oh_lim_pic Games. No doubt when they're (thankfully) over, there
will be further months of speculation and review on who / what / why
so-and-so
did/didn't do whatever they did and speaking purely for myself, WGAS?
Well, I
don't - but I suspect I'm in a very small minority.
So Triumph stuff please
and as much as all of you can generate. Doesn't matter if the old chestnuts
of
dashpot oil and stuck float valves get another airing, for me it'll be far
far
better than athletics, swimming, jumping, throwing spears, cycling up long
hills - and the fact that too many events were cancelled because of the
rain...
I suppose one aspect of interest is that Uncle David Cameron has seen
fit for the rooftops of certain London high rise buildings are now being
equipped with guided missiles
