Drake thru Glen Haven to Estes is flat NASTY with sand and crap, but luckily no ice when we went thru. BE CAREFUL.

I'd believe it! I haven't been up there (since I don't have crutch holders on the Umph ;)) but from past experience...be careful!
Especially watch corners (heck, straights too) that go from sun exposed to shadows. While the sun exposed part can be clear and dry, the shadowed part can have ice coating it.

Hey Big E, hope you're healing well. I saw Travis on Friday at the bar. He used to live in my apt complex, and said he'd just gotten a great deal on an R1. Was hoping to get a ride with him this weekend, but I wasn't able to get a hold of him.

my brother hit a pothole sat. night on our way to the 1098 unveiling at erico (thanks jenny) and it blew out his rear driverside tire..........so many expletives. oh, it was just past the intersection of 17th and monaco, heading west

There's a HUGE one about 4 feet long by 3 feet wide by maybe 6"+ deep in the right side of the right lane on 34 just West of Kmart. It'd be a killer on a bike......literally. We had a couple guys die in Cleveland from getting thrown from hitting them and getting run over.

Hey Frank,
Travis came over with his bike Sat. and helped me get pics of the 450. It a 06 Raven, looks nice. He said he ran into you and you told him to get on here.
I should be back street riding by spring but the supermoto and mx is pretty much done for.

On the potholes, hwy 34 is going to need repaved from I25 all the way thru town, there are some craters out there for sure.
