Lee 2002

.... re-reading...... I'm in need of a good group ride.... one just like this would be perfect.

Nice write up. I enjoyed reading it. It was great to share a beer and a little bit of conversation with you.

I wish you would have stayed here, or you could have had all of Mom and Dad's place to yourself, they were in Texas. I would have gave you a key so you could come-n-go.

As always, you're welcome here or there if your travels should bring you across on the northern route.

Nice! Nothing like having your own personal tour guide.

I was surprised to here that Roadcrafters leak.

Apparently, I have been informed, there is some small amount of maintenance required to retain water resistance. Various concoctions and solutions are on order.

we had to pry Lee off of his bike when we stopped at the Mt Judea General Store. He was a little tense to say the least

That might be the understatement of the decade.

Any war story, not just WWII (but they are the best since they are getting so few and far between) So where does a guy find a photo of Arby's chairs?

Holy Crap! I can't believe you got $500 out of that faded old 'Stitch. (Mine has "shrunk" and I would really like a new one.... guess I'm going to have to see what mine is worth and look into a new 'Stitch... custom made, of course.)

I am really interested to hear how much ventilation you get with the transit. (And the reverse... how warm it keeps you when it rains and is cool.) One thing I like about the Aerostitch is that it is wind proof when I need it and has enough vents to make life bearable when it's hot.

I would be afraid that the micro-perfs would allow too much airflow for when it's cool and you really want to seal things up.

Give us a full review after you have a few miles under your belt. I hope you make it to the Ozarks this month. That pile of motorcycle parts in the background doesn't look promising though.

Bill = Awesome ride leader.... had a blast following you around.

It was me who had to replace my battery that morning. It gave up at the Kansas/Colorado border the day before. Luckily my fellow riders have good strong legs and were able to shove me along for a bump start.

We did have some terrible weather between Kit Carson and Colorado springs... Snow, in August? WTF? Hail an inch deep on the road? Thankfully, from there on out the weather was postcard-picture perfect.

Mt. Evans really makes you think about your mortality. Literally, a handful of inches is the difference between life and a 1,000 foot fall.

Here are Bill (Red Dog), Craig (ColSpgsVFR)and Miguel (Hispanic Slammer) warming up Tuesday evening at H.S.'s favorite resturaunt - La Uniqua

LDSRIDER and his wife joined us

Another local rider joined us flatlanders - hondalover, motorman & panamawing.

Craig had mentioned that the margaritas were like lemonade.... between that and the elevation.... I think all us flatlanders rode to the hotel in LDSRIDERS Honda Odessey beyond tipsy.

If you salvage even one or two parts off that motor you will be money ahead... Money well spent.
