Map of stops on Triumph’s British Invasion Tour.

I don’t often devote this space to passing events but hey, it’s winter and not a lot of riding thanks to snow and ice. Besides, you might be interested. I was.

I got an email today informing me of Triumph Motorcycles America’s 20-city “British Invasion Tour.” And the first stop was set for January 9. Yikes, that’s already past. I assumed they’re coming to Denver, so when? Tomorrow. January 19. Oh my gosh.

You have to make a reservation to go but there’s no charge. While I was anticipating some kind of all day affair, in fact it is just a three-hour event, from 7 to 10 p.m. It’s being held at Mile High Station, at 2027 West Colfax. Where the heck is that?

OK, I get it. You follow that link and up at the top, next to the Mile High Station logo it has a logo for Ironworks. I get it, I know that place. It’s basically under the Colfax viaduct west of the river but east of Federal. That building has always been a beauty and I’m pleased to see it’s still there and still in use. If you’re not familiar with getting there you’ll want to look at Google Maps.

So what’s going on? Per the website:

An exclusive first look at our all-new 2024 motorcycles.

Light food
Live Music
Activations
Cash Bar

First 100 guests to arrive receive exclusive merch!

And apparently it is only the new bikes. Not a comprehensive presentation, just the new ones.

Of course I’d like to go. And wouldn’t you know it, I have a conflict, one that I really don’t want to duck out on. Dang. But maybe you can go.
