THOR - 1906 SINGLE CYLINDER RACER
(as featured above on 09-17-20 ... was admired in person at the St. Francis Motorcycle Museum in St. Francis, Ks.)
So where is that? Look in the upper left-hand corner of Kansas, on east-west Highway 36 ... and hey, if you have to go through Kansas, why not take Hwy36 instead of I-70, eh? As they say, if you find yourself in the neighborhood...
We did just that, stopping to take a quick peek and wound-up spending about three hours there ... and would enjoy another visit at our next chance

(we were riding toward our August 26, 2020 celebration of the non-occurrance date of our re-scheduled ThumperCafe #50 ... that destination was Fort Robinson in Nebraska.
And we aren't done yet - see the Event Page!

Good video. Great pictures. Much I recognize. Sure reminds me of my '08 trip to Prudhoe Bay. On my KLR. Have thought occasionally of going back.
Hmmmmmm..............?

Wow, Vincent, wow! You don't see one of those babies for sale every day! A local farmer near ThumperVille actually had a baby blue Thruxton ... I never heard it run but it looked perfect though very dirty from setting in a Farmer's shed upon a dirt floor and below an active hay loft, you can imagine ... I did see it one time in the early '70s ... no idea where it went or who has it now. - Again, wow! - #000.
