Through Golden Gate Canyon to Nederland for a brief stop, then on to lunch at Estes, many went on to the Motohaus coffee shop in Ft. Collins then another shot up the canyons before heading home. Great weather, even better company. Let's do it again!

Guns 'n Beemers Run April 18, 2008 : Perfect weather and roads for this trip to the Pawnee range NE of Greeley. When we arrived, all types of firearms were produced and the firing commenced. The patterns got tighter and the comments more biting as the event wore on. After eliminating tons of targets, everyone drifted off to lunch at LaPorte, or other destinations. Thank you to Jeff for putting on a great ride and shoot.

Fall leefs from the foothills : Fall colors are hit and miss this year in Colorado, without a major cold snap to set the changes to one time clock, even the same elevation will not give consistancy in timing. However, here is a quick journey on a lovely dirt road in the foothills west of the metro area. A small window into the wonders of fall in the Rockies. (I recommend viewing in "journal" style)

Matt and Jim's Central America Trip : We are still alive and well, and having a fantastic time.  It keeps getting better around every corner.  The pictures do not do this country justice, the video is going to be even better.  
 
Cool stuff:  Best motorcycle roads ever, best parts of Left Hand Canyon over and over again.  It is rarely strait, just one turn after another.  People are so nice, they don't care where we are from, they don't even ask.  They love the bikes and don't ask for anything.  We can ride as fast as we want and pass everything.  We just wave at the few cops we see and they just smile at us.  
 
Bad stuff:  For the most part the roads are fine.  Large pot holes have been few, but lots filled in with gravel that need to be avoided.  Big trucks hauling ass crossing the center line can wake you up from the dream too.  Lots of dogs, and people walking along the small two lane roads also need to be avoided.  I've been picking the smallest ones hoping they are the quickest to get out of the way, and if I do hit them it might not bring me down.  
 
The most dangerous thing going on is trying to take these still pictures while dealing with all the stuff above.  The video is much easier, and we have a lot more of it.  Jim is working on getting in up on his smugmug site.  Google keycoydog to check it out.  More to come as I get more pictures...enjoy

The Ride for Kids 2007 was an exciting and fun event for volunteers and participants. Many generous motorcyclists gave to support the goal of eliminating brain tumors from kids, and helping those that current are afflicted. There were four "stars" in attendance, each precious, and each with their own great story of combatting the disease.
Perhaps next year we will  have an even greater presence as a club?!

Critters in the Garage! : Leave your garage door open, put a hint on the internet, and what do  you get, if you're a great host? Dual sport wrenching session with lots of KLR's, a few BMW's, KTM, and a Suzzuk. And lots of critters in the garage. Mountain Eagle has a beautiful garage...full of tools and bikes! He attended his first Top of the Rockies Rally in 1983, in Leadville, and knows his way around just about every bike rolling. Makes for a fine day to share wrenching and love of bikes.

July 1 Breakfast ride to Mt. Evans : About 10 bikes left the Red Rocks Grill after Saturday Breakfast, headed to Mt. Evans....nice T-shirt weather until we got to the park entrance ($3.00/bike). Here we were told that a bike accident occurred 9 miles from the entrance. The road was in really poor shape at this location, at a amall rest area near a small lake...the rider was unconscious	and was awaiting a helicopter. We had to stop at this location for a few minutes while they directed traffic.  We never made it to the top; got caught in a nasty dark cloud full of thunder and soft pea-sized hail that covered 80% of the ground. We all flipped a 'Uey' and returned to Denver via Idaho Springs. Sunshine returned at the park entrance.. here are a few photos.
