Hi Pete, congratulations on the new ST. There is a group of riders called BBC (British Bikes of Canton)that do occasional rides. The dealership should have info on the group. In fact there is supposed to be a ride this Sunday meeting at the parking lot at Canton Cycles at 10 AM. I live in Trumbull CT. and am always up for riding with a another Triumph. Just e-mail me.
