So I dedicate this song to my 6th year anniversary....

They seem to be popular cruisers although a far cry from the HDs I see on the road.

Then you need to get a plan together for a flocking or two!! Best we can do in the Northeast US (with about 150 of them on the member's map Birdy used to manage) is get them together in Bennington VT during the Triumph Bash (most was 15 or so), or ad-hoc day rids down in the Philly area. Otherwise, never see one on the road here!

| | Posted : 23 Oct 2015 - 17:40 Post title : Re: Triumph Blues (Re: bnz433) | | | guys, go to meetup.com and set up a meetup group. There are a couple of Triumph owner's group in NY but if you want just set up your own in your neck of the woods. I'm sure there are plenty of owners out there in your area. You just need to setup a gateway for everyone to come together. Price is relatively cheap and you get to organize group rides. I'm on a few groups but also created my own (Hudson Valley Motorcycle Riders)
best thing i've done since.

Where do you live? I'm in Tucson. Had my 2013 for 9 months. Haven't seen but 2 I think since I bought mine. If you are close, let's hook up sometime for a ride. Did you go to that event over in Laughlin in September. Couldn't make it but sure wanted to.

Thanx DURDLE. Yes...I was there in Sept. and like visiting Laughlin often (nice lil town along the lazy Colorado river).
I'm in the west valley (Peoria area) so probably a 3+ hour stretch to Tucson. Maybe coordinate and ride Laughlin in April, 2016...the River Run!

I booked (www.hotels.com) two nights (April 26th and 27th) at the Colorado Bell for a crazy low price of $50.00 (+tax). The CB reservation desk couldn't even touch it! Afterward room rates skyrocket to an average of $175 + per night (some nights already sold out).
Riders are making reservations...time to consider the River Run!
