HA! Well, I did have a yellow bike once. In colorado, and in a number of other states, it is actually illegal to have apes that are taller than your shoulder. Of course, some of us are bigger than others.

dutch, make you a run down here to Texas and you can go on my annual ride with us.  I think we've got about 10 going this year but there's always room for another.

This year we're riding through; Arkansas, Missouri and Oklahoma then back to Texas. 

Last year is was just out to Leakey, TX (great standby ride)

The year before that was New Mexico and Colorado

We've been out to Big Bend twice and over to North Carolina.  It's just a bunch of guys who ride a lot and once a year we get together and ride somewhere for a 5 or 6 day run.  We'll usually average 500 miles per day.  It's a good time.

KC, sounds like you'll be going right by my place  on your ride (69/75) with that route. Let me know if that's true and maybe we can meet up for a beverage.

Thor, our route back is coming from Mena, AR our last night out.  We're going to cut west through the Talimena scenic highway over to Hwy 259 then head due south from there.  I would love to meet up with you for a cold one but I think we'll be too far east.

On Saturday, May 14th, the Colorado Chapter 3-2 of the Combat Vets Motorcycle Association held it's 6th Annual Open Range Run. The weather was against us, cloudy and cold with a high about 45* and some wind. Hell, there was still snow on the ground in places as about a hundred riders went 200 miles across the plains west of Colorado Springs. We stopped at four places. I started out with the thought I wouldn't have a beer. That lasted until the first stop.

We rolled into the last stop about 3 pm and drank a couple more beers, ate cheeseburgers and bullshitted. I got back to the house (another 35 mile ride) just before the freezing rain came down.

Good times were had by all.





[we took a vote after the run. Next year we are doing this in June]

A couple of shots from my ride last week.  My trusty steed.

The top one is somewhere along Hwy 7 just south of Jasper, AR and the bottom one is from the top of Mt. Magazine just north of Havana, AR on Hwy 309.  Nice ride.

I LOVE the Lindby bars.  That is actually my second set on this bike.  First ones got a little damaged in 2005 when I went down in Missouri.  From what I hear the price of them has dropped substantially too.  I paid $300/pair but I hear they are under $200 now.  I don't know if that's true or not, I haven't bothered to look them up.

Taos huh?  We rode up there 2 years ago.  Rode all around Angel Fire, Red River, Taos .... it was really good riding.  We rode into Colorado from Chama and made a loop up there.

Enjoy the ride dutch and let me know if you do in fact make it down.  We'll make a ride around the lake and drink some beer!
