Yeah, I’ve been rather delinquent in posting content on this blog but rest assured, the local Triumph Faithful have remained very busy as we’ve moved into the hot/humid days of summer (w/ the occasional massive thunderstorm, natch).

Lots of piles of debris everywhere, lots of disaster cleanup specialists working and a lot of buildings that received damage. Regret to say, in the week we’ve been down here, I haven’t seen one LBC, save for a couple…

Greetings from Garnett, Kansas, where it’s been a long day and processing photos is making for a late night. I made the trip from St Louis to attend and photograph the LGGPR, observed annually in commemoration of Lake Garnett Park’s status as the site of SCCA racing between 1958 and 1972. The turnout was incredible,…
