I wonder where the nickname Trumpy came from?

[Can the Man]

I could tell you Steve, but I will let Trumpy tell you himself.

A clue is his avatar

[Trumpy]

I did tell it to Jon a few days ago it's just cuz a ride Triumph motorcycles (apart from the KTM and Beta I have but they are more recent)

He thought it had to do with personal wind

[Can the Man]

My Da had a Triumph Herald car years ago when I was a kid, back in 1965

[Captain Sensible]

Thanks Trumpy, I thought the same as Jon

[Trumpy]

Yes originally Triumph cars and Triumph motorcycles were the same company long time ago now

[Can the Man]

Hey Steve, do you remember the old saying

When the wind wouldn't blow and the ship couldn't go, they got Arthur the farter to start her

[Trumpy]

As I get older the two reasons do both seem to be relevent

[Can the Man]

Yes originally Triumph cars and Triumph motorcycles were the same company long time ago now

I think he might have had a triump motor bike in the 40's & 50's. I remember him telling us as kids he had several bikes when he was young. He was born in 1913.

[Captain Sensible]

Very good Can.  I'll remember that.

Trumpy - you must have bought Kate Ewing's house.  I didn't know whether she had sold it or not.

[Trumpy]

So he was young in the hey day of british motoor cycle manufacture.  Only really Triumph left now but they do make some good bikes. Better than them same old Jap craps or American pig iron

[Can the Man]

Very good Can.  I'll remember that.

Trumpy - you must have bought Kate Ewing's house.  I didn't know whether she had sold it or not.

Kate Ewing - a relation of JR  surely not 

South Fork Ranch up the hill 

[Trumpy]

Yep Cap it's Kate's house she has moved to Turkey to be with her son. Loverly lady I hope she is OK it's cold there in winter.

[Captain Sensible]

I knew she wanted to move to Turkey to be with her son.  He used to have a house in Lajares.
