Just wanted to say hi!

[MetaLord 9]

Thanks, I will try these next time minus the red light running.
Devaclis, asp_125 and Matty.
I work at the building right across from Hyatt Regency ( 4643 South Ulster Street) and live by i25 and Colorado.
I am typically in by 07:00~07:30 and out by 15:00~16:00. I guess it depends on if I have last min requests.
One of these days, maybe we can meet for lunch or grab a diet coke at baker street after work.

Ha, I probably pass you on the road then! I'm off of Yale & 25 (used to be colorado & 25) and I'm usually at work in the ranch by 7 am or so.

Just keep an eye on the boards while at work if you are able. People around here often post last minute lunches in the DTC.
And congrats on the progression!!!!

Drop an email on this page. They'll get you where you need to be. There are a lot of issues with the signal lights. Not all even work with a heavy cruiser sitting there. I refer everyone to this page, if we keep complaining, maybe we will get them fixed.

Just filled out the form. BTW, I was at your basic rider course at Red Rocks Community College last weekend. Great job!

Congrats! You're off to a great start... MSF course AND Gear!

Why are leather pants/textile not considered gear? I see so many people just wearing jeans and pavement will eat through those in a heartbeat. Proper gear should consist of the right pants and boots. He is off to the right start, but thought I would throw that advice in

[Sully]

Of course he would need pants, but I was happy to see that he had most of it (can't see his foot wear). I'm not a gear nazi. It's your road rash

They are. Took me a minute to get the full getup, and that was really just to do trackdays. Of course I wear the 2pc if I'm hitting the canyons up now, but I'll throw on Jeans 'n' steel toes if I'm just heading around town.

I was thinking about riding to work this morning. I rode yesterday taking side roads in almost no traffic just to see. It took me 22 mins vs. 7 to 12mins in my car driving on I25. It's kind of funny that I came to realize the cracks, pot holes on the road that I have never seen before. When I checked the weather this morning, I read chances of thunderstorms so I decided not to ride. I might need to ride in my neighborhood just to test braking, and turning before riding on roads where the speed limit is 40 mph.

Other thing, pretty much the entire summer in Denver is a 20%-80% chance of rain, so get'n used to it when you can be comfortable beats get'n stuck in it & having no other option!

given our usual weather patterns, I can pretty much count on being dry riding to work in the morning, and if I get soaked going home, it doesn't matter. FWIW a $10 Walmart rain suit in a backpack is all i need to carry.

Good looking bike! Congrats! Keep at her!

[Aphrodite]

Go to Home-Depot and in there screw Isle they sell magnets get a nice big flat one and epoxy it into your lower fairing, works for me, never had an issue at lights, but the draw back you gotta be careful when washing that area cause you will pick up metal shavings in that area.

Lol same. Falc if your looking for someone to ride with hollar at me. Been riding for about a year and a half but will be glad to ride with you around the block or w/e your comfortable with.

[Zach929rr]

Falcon,

If you'd like to hit the canyons for an hour or two, I'd be happy to take you out with a very relaxed pace and no expectations.

Yeah, that's like level 7. I am at level 2. Maybe, next year..

[Devaclis]

He's just trying to get in your chihuahua.

Maybe you could borrow Devaclis' epic mount?



Seriously though, ride your own pace but don't be afraid to push yourself out of your comfort zone sometimes!

[= Buckeye Jess =]

Ya know Falcon.....83 is a great road to just build your confidence up on - particularly once you get south of Parker. It's a pretty road with the occasional curves and minimal traffic (especially during the week). I rode there all of the time when I was just starting back up from my wreck.

[MetaLord 9]

105 down to monument.

[Zach929rr]

From what I heard, you are trying to get in your chihuahua, and out, and in, and out, and in.

Falcon, you can turn your bike, can't you? Riding a quick canyon at the speed limit or under would teach you a lot. Holler at me when you feel ready.

[Sean]

You can do it. When I was trying to learn how to ride a canyon (which I'm still trying), I would go out when there is little to no traffic. Saturday and Sunday mornings are great around 6-9am. No traffic and you can go under the speed limit. Most of the people on here are really helpful if they know you are starting out. Don't be shy about going out with someone for a quick ride.
