One rule of the list is that if you do a cool mod, you've got to submit a 
picture. Be sure to send one in.

No problem. Several members on the ST list came together and created a 
Rider's Group - http://www.tsra.cc  The Bulldog is our mascot and the Dawg 
names just sprouted from there. The club is primarily made up of ST and RS 
owners, although you don't need to own one to join. Just need to love to 
ride. We are now doing two rallies per year in the US and are hoping that 
someone decides to try and put on some events in the UK or Europe.
