    New but not Noob looking for twisties in the GJ area

    I guess the title says it all. I'm new to the area but I've been riding for a few years. I just got out of the Marine Corps. and moved out to parachute with my wife and her family. Currently I'm contemplating suicide because I cant seem to find anyone that rides a sport bike or anywhere to drag knee. (oh and some of you crazy mother f**kers don't where helmets)

    anyway...
    please do your part to save the life of a fellow rider and help me find some killer canyons before I decide to play chicken with a Mack truck

    Gateway loop's great...

    CO Scenic Byeway

    McClure Pass

    Rodeo Road

    Tons of great roads out on the Western Slope. Do yourself a favor, pick up Steve Farson's book; The Complete Guide to Motorcycling Colorado. There's some great info on rides (well known and not so much) all over the state.
    Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
    Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
    Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.

    Yeah... so?! I thought it was a prerequisite to live on the western slope that you had to be well versed in riding dirty...

    To me it doesn't matter, but I ride a 950Adv. I guess it depends on what kind of bike he rides. I'm guessing not an dual sport, most people don't drop knees on these suckas.

    @ to the original poster. There are some sportbikers in GJ. Find the facebook CSC page and look for a guy named Jake Cram. It seems like he's always looking to ride.
