Stay in the loop in 2014. We're working on our next giveaway and were sure you'll be just as excited to get in on that action too!
Finally -
Meet Stephanie Gage Of Austin, TX - Winner Of The 2013 Triumph Bonneville Cafe.
While it's rewarding to see someone get so lucky, my opinion of Stephanie Gage, found solid ground for a different reason. When asked about her favorite aspect of the contest besides the bike, the quiet-natured Texan responded without flinching, "That more than one person won." She's referring, of course, to the fact that when we set this up, we made a call to our friend Neale Bayly, moto journalist and humanitarian, and asked him to get involved, tying in the ability to help his foundation, Wellspring International Outreach, with an optional donation upon entry. Thousands stepped up, contributing over $50,000 to help the children of Peru. It makes the miles she'll be putting on her new ride all the sweeter.
Special thanks to everyone involved in this fantastic project.

Stephanie! You won!
(speechless. still.) I still can't believe it.
Tell us about yourself.
I am a mother of two boys, 8 & 7. I live in Austin, TX and spend most of my time riding, camping & practicing photography.
How did you hear about Iron & Air for the first time?
Oh man, can't remember. I think maybe I was looking for different kinds of motorcycle magazines - something different. Actually, yeah, I came across it online somehow. I was thrilled when I ran into it. I was immediately taken by how it was geared towards culture rather than just bike specs. Thrilled. Hooked immediately.
Thank you for that! How did you hear about the contest?
I was on the Iron & Air web site doing some shopping, looking for t-shirts. And then boom, enter to win a Triumph. Hello.
Our aim was to help out a friend and a cause with this effort, the addition of Wellspring International Outreach, led by humanitarian and journalist Neale Bayly - how did you feel about the tie-in & contributing?
I mean, how great that more than one person has won in this. I know I will enjoy the bike that much more. Other people benefitted from it. I also liked the fact that donating was optional and the amount was up to me. Great approach.
Tell us about what the experience was like when you were notified?
Ha! I was actually annoyed! Let me explain: I was hanging out online watching a moto video and kept hearing pings and dings from my phone - you know text message notifications, emails arriving, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram pings. I was like "What the hell, let me watch this video!"
So you were flown in from Austin, to be presented the bike and key, what was that experience like?
A whirlwind, surreal, crazy experience. When I actually saw the bike, it sunk in. This is real, it's right in front of me! Certainly like being in a dream state up until then.
Other than winning the bike, what has been most memorable about this?
The people I met on the trip. Excited to be around everyone. Great vibe, great crowd. Everyone was good to one another and I always felt very welcome.
Where are you riding first?
I was super excited to ride it the first night I was awarded it, in downtown Ste. Pete and then the following day with a large group across Florida to Orlando for a vintage festival. When it arrives here in Austin, I'll be riding it home from dealer with some backroads riding around Austin no doubt - into New Braunfels and San Marcos. The area surrounding Austin are much better for riding than in Austin.
If we come visit, can we borrow the bike?
We'll see. ;)

[@lcrgarage3245]

Great bike, great cause.

[@declanian5556]

Nice...

[@james-pn1nx]

she doesnt seem to be really excited... great looking bike

[@Jan621117]

+james 1:17 Actually, she's "super super excited" as this dude said... Well, is that so? She was annoyed and said "what?". Anyway, you're not supposed to pick your winner so anyone could be standing there. I guess her boyfriend or brother is more excited.

[@johncrist1]

You designed your own steering stabilizer??? Looks like the Norman Hyde to me.

[@veganvvarrior]

So, I don't exactly know alot about building motorcycles. And I live in Sweden. But is it ok if I come and work for you guys? =)

[@CHIBA280CRV]

Set up !!

[@daveco1270]

How did she win the bike? Was it a raffle type thing? I wonder if she still has it...or if she''s still riding. I hope so.

[@xeggrollx88]

Did st Pete powersports buy the bike from her cuz last time I was there the bike was sitting in the showroom?

[@JohnSmith-ki2eq]

I'm not saying she couldn't ride that thing, but that's a lot of bike for such a tiny woman to handle, maybe she had second thoughts and sold it to him after a short while or maybe he made her a great offer before she could get it on the road?

[@TornadoCAN99]

John Smith The Bonneville is not too much bike...they make great 1st bikes...very easy handling. Don't notice the weight. Power is quite decent but not too much.

[@yoshimitsu411]

Sick! :)

[@user-cr5lw6uj6t]

ok)))

[@Vanrocco66]

It's beautiful but that must be THE most uncomfortable bike in the world to ride! That seat is gorgeous but it looks like you might as well be sitting on a rock and I can't imagine riding around all day in that position with those bars. ... Like I said, it looks beautiful though!

[@JohnSmith-ki2eq]

That's why you raced from cafe to cafe, to give your arse a chance to recover from the beating. : )

[@rbattson7171]

Was thinking that, style over function. I, d be looking hard for bad road bits. But looks great.

[@TexasSlinger]

What handlebars are those??

[@lovedove2661]

Im from California Bay Area which means SF area. The bikes they sell here are shit and you rarely every find a shop that sells a decent Triumph. I won't ride anything but a Triumph. Would you be able to reference any places in particular that sells Triumphs and any places you would recommend that customize bikes?

[@ohyeah6062]

!!!!

[@Vanrocco66]

@ 9:27 WTF??

[@JohnSmith-ki2eq]
