    Denver's 41st Annual St. Patrick's Day Parade - PICS ARE IN!

    The Colorado Sportbike Club is officially registered for this years St. Patrick's Day parade.

    We do have a limit to how many bikes we're allowed to have, but I'm hoping that this year (weather permitting), we'll max that number out. Last year we had a lot of interest, but only 8 bikes show up. That was probably due to the early meeting time that we'd scheduled. As it turns out, as long as you get to the staging area before the parade starts (around 9:30), you should be fine (you don't have to meet the nutcases at 8AM on a cold spring morning )

    Full details can be found on the Calendar Page of the website: http://www.cosportbikeclub.org/club/calendar.html

    Hope to see you there!

    I'm in!

    One thing - you mentioned trailering the bike as a possibility, however the parade requires insurance - I take this to mean race bikes are out of the question, or is there a special provision maybe for this? I know some of the vehicles they have in the parade are not exactly street-legal, so I thought I'd throw this out there for our track-only posse.

    I'll be there only if it snows....
    Not a shred of evidence exists in favor of the idea that life is serious.

    It comes down to a liability issue for the parade committee. If you can prove that the bike is insured (race bike or not), then it can be ridden in the parade. Last year, Will was going to bring his race bike - he only has it insured against theft, but has an insurance card to show the judges.

    Bah, get in there and ride with us! Doesn't have to be pretty, though it'd be nice if we could get through this one without the bike carnage of last year (4 bikes lost, counting the one that didn't even make it there, primarily due to stunt damage) - it made harleys look good... for shame...

    Well..... If there is space, I'd love to ride, but I'd be happy to be the photo-taker if nothing else. If I can get the yellow paint off the pipe and gas cap. (The previous owner had a thing for yellow paint and tape- I spent hours removing yellow duck tape!!!) So any ideas on removing unwanted paint let me know.

    darn insurance! i plan to regester the bike in europe and insurance is not a must to register there, and i really find it quite pointless to require it here. i understand they, the parade folk, are just covering their own butts, though.

    I sounds like fun! I'll have to decide weather sitting in traffic is worth the cool part of being in a parade!

    If you are moving to Las Vegas, as you stated in another post, why would you register your bike in Europe?

    Also, you wouldn't think of it as pointless to require liability insurance if you have ever been hit by an uninsured motorist. It's there to protect you from others and vice versa.

    I rarely think of motorcycles without a little yearning. They are about moving, and humans, I think, yearn to move – it’s in our cells, in our desires. We quiet our babies with cyclic movement, and we quiet ourselves by going.

    I don't know - I don't want you going faster than us!

    But if you're serious, there's no reason why not. Heck, you could even put on some rollerblades & skitch if you wanted.

    Count me and the R1 in.

    If anyone is "bikeless," I should have the old Viffer (Custom 87 VFR700 Interceptor) completed by then.

    As long as there's no wheelies, stoppies, or stunts performed by the rider, I'd consider a lend for the parade. I've spent too much (believe me way too much) time on getting this dinosaur back together to have it munched.

    Burnouts are fine...It's getting new tires this summer anyway!

    I'd totally twist the Viffer, Mr. Rocketman!! And if behaving is the only catch, consider me an AlterBoy for the day! =)

    Barn,

    We've never formally met, but from what I hear, I should be afraid...VERY afraid

    Yea, my friend, no stoppies...IV'E SEEN THE FILM

    No problem... It needs some TLC between now and then to include a paint job. It just got a new composite body, tank, and a custom solo one piece tail section and exhaust.

    You'll probably get the same questions I did when I first got it like, "WTF is that thing?", and "They made sportbikes back then?"

    Paint, tune, lube, turn signals, and a thorough wash and she'll be roadworthy...at least enough to parade-ride without grenading

    Hit me back on E-mail when you gat a chance. BTW, what city do you reside in?

    See ya,

    -Mark
