Catalunya Triumph - Riding Barcelona - Cruiser Touring and Travel - Motorcycle USA




It’s 4 a.m. in Barcelona and I’m not tired. The capital city of Catalunya, Barcelona doesn’t sleep at night - it only shrugs off the cares of another workday for some real fun. And fun I’d been having for days, and nights, there in Spain to test the all-new Triumph Thunderbird.

City of Architecture and Motorcycles

Who knows why Triumph chose Barcelona to introduce its new cruiser to the international motorcycle press? It’s not the type of invite to mull over, only respond to with immediate dispatch. Most Americans know Barcelona only as the host of the 1992 Summer Olympics, but the Spanish town is a cultural capital home to a thriving food and art scene as the sixth-largest metropolis in the EU (European Union) after Paris, London, Ruhr, Madrid and Milan. Neither the long transatlantic flight nor a brief Swine Flu quarantine on the runway by Spanish health officials could diminish my spirits upon arrival.
