    Clovis an



    d I on Million Dolllar. Conecting that to the Black Canyon is the most incredibly technical road in colorado. You don't actually get to call yourself a Motorcyclist until you ride that combo.

    I absolutely loved 141! The bottom (or first portion from the last gas station by Naturita) was just amazing in every way. By far my favorite piece of road I've been on.
    I've got more flavor than a packet of macaroni.

    Looks like a great ride. Yes, 141 is the shiznit. If I could, I'd trailer out with leathers, gas and spare set of tires and run up and down it the whole weekend. Keeping in mind of course, those pesky cattle guards here and there.

    Agreed we should ride 141 out of Grand Junction and hit Black Canyon out of Glenwood Springs. Seriously I'll Drive...

    Get a group rate at Gateway Resort and do laps on the southern half of 141.

    OMG sleep is valuable but a comfy sleeping bag in the trailer will do. Or 50 dollars a night at motel 6 in Grand Junction

    That's one sexy RC8!

    Didn't you have a GSX-R or something? At least that's what I remember from Miller. Looks like a nice ride. There's a reason some of us live out in this area.

    I'm thinking about a return trip this weekend. You know Durango, just can't stay away.

    Great images in this thread. It is a special road, delivering a special ride. There are reasons it is the Unaweep - Tabeguache Scenic Byway.
