Spotted a Bonnie Black parked behind the Trailhead Brewery off South Main St. this morning.

Anyone from this site claim it?

Nope......although I was out in Saint Charles Saturday with my Neon Blue Speedmaster .......

I think its way cool that these bikes are so unique that we can ask a question like this and hope for an answer...Can you imagine asking if the guy who owned the black Yamaha V Star you saw, or the Harley Road King?

Its a small bunch of people with exceptional taste and distinction. :-D :razz: :-D

Not me, but the Trailhead would be a wonderful meeting place for a group of local Triumph riders.

I was crossing the Missippi on the St Genevieve ferry a few weeks ago and the ferry operator was telling me there'd been a couple guys through earlier that day on Triumphs. Was that any of you guys? Let me know if you come South - lots'a nice roads around Potosi & Bixby.

That's weird...... I was in Saint Clair and took K highway out to (I think) 185.... the sign said "Potosi - 28" Ah, but I made a right and went to Sullivan instead. I live about 15 miles west of Six Flags, near Union. I'm out running Old Hwy 66, Hwys 50, 185, 19 all the time. Nice riding around here, also. Rode all through Meremec State Park that day. Thought we were going to get rained on, but got lucky.

Hey kballowe...If you live in near Union, you must be familiar with the junk yard in Rosebud. Ain't that guy a hoot?

Hey Tom,

Few weeks ago on the St. Gen Ferry??? That was almost certainly me (T100), Loxpump (Bonnie), and my neighbor (completely customized Legend) - the St. Gen Ferry is great - we went over and wound our way up & down through all kinds of single and double letter Missou backroads -done the same ride a number of times - usually end up going back up through Missouri C to Rt 51, then back up through Chester IL - outstanding riding roads all around that area - we've talked about taking 19 all the way down to Ark. - have to meet up sometime - MOBRIT, you too...

Cheers,

D9

Well isn't it a small world. I remember that ferry crossing and the rolling winding roads west of the Mississippi. If I remember we got back with some dirty bikes thanks to the rain that went through Prairie Du Rocher on our way home. I also saw that Bonnie at the Trailhead in St. Charles. Don't remember what day it was. Maybe the guy that owns it works near by. I work across the river in Earth City. It's nice having a bike that make people remember.

WHAT?!?!?!?! Where have you guys been? I thought I was the only guy from the St Louis area on this board. When I get back to the States we really need to get together and do a ride.
