    hit me up anytime.

    Thank you Sean. I just found out that the leathers I have on order have been delayed for another month. Must have been a pasta festival in Italy or something and they took 4 weeks off. I'm looking for a plan B as we speak. Alpinestars is a possibility if I can find something off the rack. Hoping to try on my bud's leathers this weekend as well. If they fit I'm good.

    First video from today...more to come. This one is part one of the Stove Prairie section. I left the music off this one since you can kind of hear the engine a bit. Sorry for all the wind noise. Killer ride today!

    I wish you WERE there! It was an awesome day. My tires are actually doing well. I think the roads to Bishop's are just extra rough and really ground into them. They did fine on Saturday.

    I can attest to that. Unfortunately, Saturday's ride had to get cut short because my back Pirelli decided it didn't like having tread on them anymore. Those roads between Cripple Creek and HWY 50 were especially abrasive, from what I could tell.

    I'll do that. Hey, just a thought, since the nickname "The Doctor" is already taken, maybe have the words "The Proctologist" sewed on the back?

    Wish I could watch the videos, but I'm stuck in buffering hell no matter what I do......

    "The Proctologist"...I love it! I don't know how many customers I'll get as I'll be using this glove.... Might be a bit...er...painful.

    Ha!

    Um...maybe an overnighter to take in a few other roads and cut down on time in the seat? Here's what a round-trip looks like out to Lake City and back again...




    Total round-trip miles from Westminster = 642 according to Google.

    We'll have to have a chat about this one.

    Count me in on this one guys. I'm sure I could swing the ride in one day if we can't get agreement on an overnighter.

    Maria, Cathy, I love riding with you guys! It's been a great season already and we have a ways to go woo hoo!
