Riding the Triumph Speed Twin to Squaw Pass Road

/ van_blamm
For my second long ride in Colorado, I took my 2019 Triumph Speed Twin up onto the "roof" of the world, where I then wound my way to the thrilling and beautiful Squaw Pass. Along the way, I explore what sort of place I might want to live in if I ever moved to Colorado.

Lovley sound of the bike

[@richardpearson4248]

Great video some fantastic views and a great bike stay safe looking forward to next one 🇬🇧👍🏻

Seems like the perfect bike for CO roads. Great power, great handling, and it's gotta be one of the most photogenic bikes in production.

I like your cool vibes my friend... and a little smart sarcasm and british humor suites you, spot on! Love it! Life is simple, people just tend to over-complicate it... enjoy Nature and all its abundance of Grace's free gifts. It's always a pleasure to ride along with you mate. Looking forward for that Friday video, second pass up the hill... Thks for sharing, stay safe, have fun, keep on riding! Best regards from PORTUGAL

One of your most recent videos was randomly suggested to me by KZbin this morning - I'll be putting this series in Colorado on in the background while I'm working today :) I am really enjoying the style of the videos and style of commentary too! Keep it up :)

[@VanBlamm]

Glad to hear it, I hope I'll be a nice distraction! Thank you!

[@petewebb6952]

Very humorous and enjoyable thank you. Looking forward to getting back on my Speed Twin in October (off due to some surgery). Cheers.

[@VanBlamm]

Thanks for following along! I hope you're able to get lots of riding in before winter
