Yup, YFE’s on patrol again although this time I’ve ranged a tad farther afield than usual: 885.8 miles in one day (14.7 hrs, to be exact), which put me in Bowie, MD. Without going into personal details, I’ll just say I received multiple phone calls Thursday afternoon concerning a family medical emergency and departed greater St Louis early Friday, heading east.

As per usual, I’m keeping an eye out for LBCs and other exotics while out roaming about. Sad to say, as of yet I haven’t seen anything above and beyond the usual contemporary Jaguar and Land Rover products, although a really nice Aston Martin blew past me earlier this AM. However, as I’m probably going to be here in close proximity to the Chesapeake through the coming week, I’ll keep an eye out for Brit vehicles.

BTW, there are two major Triumph clubs hereabouts, both chapters of VTR: the Maryland club, Triumphs Around the Chesapeake (TRAC), and the Capital Triumph Register. From looking at their web pages, they both look like strong, active organizations…and, truth be known, up until last Monday (28 April), I was already looking at both clubs with an eye towards affiliation.

Ah, but Monday AM at work, I found out I wasn’t getting the promotion I’d applied for, a promotion which would’ve required leaving St Louis for the five-sided wind tunnel on the Potomac.

Sooo, looks like y’all are stuck with YFE for a while! More field reports later this week…
