I didn't run the autocross on a bicycle at the '98 VTR convention.  But I did 
ride a bicycle around redistributing loaner helmets.  I didn't own a Triumph 
yet.  I'd registered for the convention with my Europa (hey, it shares steering 
gear and wheels with Spitfires), but of course the water pump went out and I 
was too busy moving house to deal with it.  I ran the autocross in John 
Solstad's TR6.

Non-Triumph content:  At the LOG the week previous to this year's VTR, nobody 
ran the autocross in a Lotus bicycle.  But the cousin of one of the organizers 
brought her one-horsepower vehicle:
