We then had a mid-week ride to Choppers Caf\u00e9, a Sunday ride to the Iron Bull Roadhouse and then, with the sun shining, 15 joined on a ride to the Honey Street Mill Caf\u00e9. Our Branch stand had its first outing this year at the local MAG show on Easter Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bibendum writes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, here I am in Goa, India, impersonating a beach bum. Having hired an ageing Bullet 500 for transport, I took a slow ride north to the Triumph, Goa, dealer: B.U. Bhandari, in Alto Povorim. Interested to see what the cost of the 400\u2019s would be compared to the UK. OTR prices are a little over half what you\u2019d pay in Blighty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" src=\"https:\/\/www.berkshiretomcc.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Berks-May-24-Goa-700.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.berkshiretomcc.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Berks-May-24-Goa-700.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.berkshiretomcc.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Berks-May-24-Goa-700-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Triumph dealer in Goa<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Indian 400cc market is very competitive with Royal Enfield\u2019s Himalayan models and now Harley-Davidson\u2019s 440X at a very similar price to the Triumph\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I look forward to a 6 man Berkshire branch tour of the north of England in May, concluding at the Shelsley Walsh 75th celebrations.
