    So, why do we have a Club website,Forum etc?

    in Triumph Chat

    Posted · Edited by McJim

    You mean the same committee that had input on the previous website format despite having little or no IT knowledge?

    That went well.

    Don't take that as a criticism.  It is what it is and we've all moved on.

    Times have moved on too and most people access the internet and social media through their smartphones nowadays.

    I have an android phone and have to go onto the internet via Google, searching for Club Triumph, then tapping on the search engine result to access the website.

    A pretty clunky way to access Club Triumph when a tap on an app would be far more convenient in the same way we access Whatsapp or Facebook.

    Not everyone has the knowledge or skills to set up their phone themselves for quick access to the website.

    If we want more people to use the website, then the path to Club Triumph should be as simple and convenient as possible.

    Surely, that's what we all want?

    Discuss.

    Does Club Triumph need an app to complement and mirror the website?

    Probably a ton of work to set it up and keep up to date.

    Just asking, not volunteering.

    So, probably not then.

    Would be good though to able to click on a button on the smartphone and log straight into the Club Triumph website.

    It would, undoubtebly, increase the number of visitors to the website.

    Border Raiders ...2024

    Bruce,

    Old age doesn't come on it's own. 

    A week before the Round Britain, my back went and I completed the event with the assistance of painkillers. 

    I think the time has come to pass it on. 

    I've spent a fortune getting it to where it is now but my old bones say enough. 

    Was looking at BMW Z3s but Katy fancies a Z4 Coupe from 2006 to 2009 and I kind of agree with her.

    Preferably a black 3.0 Sport with a manual box. 

    But who knows.  I may have changed my mind next week. 

    Jim.

    Over bright headlights

    Here's my exhaustive list of motoring events banned for having bright headlights.

    1.   ......

    2.  .......

    3.  ..........

    4.  ..........

    5.  ..........

    6.  .....

    Oh, that's right.

    There aren't any.

    And I thought Halloween had come early with all this scaremongering.

    Conkers?

    More like bonkers.

    Keep grasping at straws.

    How about a little more courtesy when driving behind someone?

    I have noticed over the years that more and more people are becoming night blind and react by putting on brighter headlights. Something I can associate with, BUT when driving behind someone else why not just leave a bigger gap? If you are lighting up the car in front, i.e. there is not a dark spot between the end of your headlight beam and the car in front, drop back if not preparing to overtake.

    Spot on Andy.

    I have LEDs and try to leave a gap between me and the car in front, especially if it's another Triumph.

    That's also my braking zone if the car in front were to slow down or stop suddenly.

    And the Round Britain, magnificent as it is, is going to be banned for a few bright headlights?

    Really?  Yes, really?

    Thank you Private Fraser.

    "We're all Doomed.  Doomed ah tell ye!"

    Get some perspective man.

    I had more of a problem from moderns than any Triumph as, no doubt, did everyone else on the event.

    Only someone, who didn't take part, will never take part and despite not being a club member, feels his distaste for the Round Britain with his faux concerns and his opinions needs to be foisted upon all of us who had a great weekend enjoying our Triumphs in the manner that they made to be used.

    Anyone here have a totally ruined experience over the weekend by bright headlights?

    No, didn't think so.

    But no, the event is doomed ah tell ye.

    If you've nothing constructive to say .....

    RBRR pics

    in Round Britain Reliability Run (RBRR)

    Posted

    All RBRR pics from previous years are there.

    I agree it would've been nice if it was broken down into years run but this website is fairly new and the photos have been migrated from the previous two websites, so it's nigh on impossible to catagorise them into a specific year.

    Jim.
