Thunderbird Times

Newsletter of the Mighty South London Triumph Owners Motorcycle Club

As some of you might have heard MSL was approached to provide four outriders for the funeral of a classic motorcycle enthusiast. Dave K. and Brian B. on their Bonnies, Mac on his TRW and Colin M. on his Tiger 90 did the honours and I understand they did a good job. A substantial amount (£300) was donated to our chosen charity “Headway”. Well done, guys!

Apparently the NEC was a bit disappointing this year with a lot less interesting stands to visit than in previous years. However, everybody seems to have enjoyed the trip … and there is always ‘Ally Pally’ (28 Jan. – 05 Feb. 2006).
