Day 1: Tackling Loveland Pass & more // Speed Twin Goes West

How much awesome stuff is there to see in Colorado? How good is the Triumph Speed Twin for touring? Why does it take me almost twice as long as it should to get anywhere on a motorcycle? All these questions and more will be answered on this five-day road trip through western Colorado aboard my '19 Speedy. I'll be putting out one video for each day of the trip, so stay tuned.

It takes me forever to edit this stuff. See it first on Instagram:   / van_blamm
