Re: [emrat:7642] 6th Annual Triumphs In Taos

We had 65 attendees last year, even though EMRAT attendance was down last year as well, despite it being a co-sponsored event. It  has declined even lower still for this year.  Which is unfortunate, because it has been a really nice event over the past 5 years for our riders.  There is some excellent riding in the Taos area and it breaks out of the same old same same old rides around Denver.

I just returned late yesterday afternoon from leading the Irishman and a buddy of mine from Texas all over the West Slope for 6 days. I had a fantastic time as it was like 2 foxes chasing the hare...hahaha

I went by Erico this morning to get the current registration list for Triumphs In Taos and after looking it over the current list of registered EMRATS is still dismal. I believe there was only one new EMRAT registered in the past 2 weeks. I realize there are some that will be on the 3 Flags Ride and others have personal commitments, but considering this is an EMRAT Club sponsored event I am at a loss why we don't have more EMRATS. The numbers are down substantially from previous years and the registration closes August 28. That is next week ladies and gentlemen.

Maybe I need to point out that Triumphs In Taos takes place in Taos, New Mexico. You won't need a passport as it's not in Mexico. It's not that much longer of a ride than Montrose unless you choose to make it one. Roughly 325 miles going the shorter way down Hwy 285. This is a really fun event and it affords you the opportunity to meet other Triumph riders from across the country. In addition there are a good number of really fun roads to ride too.

Considering the attendance for Triumph In The Rockies Sean and I were hoping to get close to half that number which would be the typical number of EMRATS in years past. We have a good number of first time EMRATS attending which is a good thing as it off sets the ones who have a conflict. I guess our question is..."where are all the other EMRATS that have attended prior years?"

Again, August 28 is the cut off date for Triumphs In Taos. Both Sean and I would love to see you regulars from previous years attend this year to represent EMRAT!!!
