I got wind of this Colorado English Motoring Conclave 2011 from Jerry Pokorny, who has his share of Brit bikes. It was held over the weekend up in Arvada. Figured I’d go up and check it out.

First thing I’ll say is that while there were some nice bikes there, there weren’t nearly as many as I’d hoped. Second thing, there were a lot of very, very cool cars.

Not a whole lot to say about it. I’ll just give you some pictures.

Ducati: Making mechanics out of riders since 1946.

So it was Randy who tipped me off that Northern Colorado Euro Motorcycles would have a truck in from Triumph offering demo rides last weekend. I took a ride to take some rides.

Cutting right to the heart of the matter, I loved the Bonnevilles I rode. Yeah, I rode two of them. The basic Bonny was the first one I rode and then I rode three cruisers, the America, the Thunderbird, and the Speedmaster, in that order. While I liked the Speedmaster best of those three, none of them matched the Bonneville, in my opinion, so I rode another Bonneville, the T100 this time, like Randy’s.

I’m not going to repeat my discussion of each of these bikes, you can read that on Examiner, but I’m sold on the Bonny. It was light, agile, powerful, and a whole lot of fun.

Thanks for the heads-up, Randy.

Aging and still riding is like the talking dog. It does not matter how well the dog talks but rather that the dog talks at all.
