it was good fun. Pop's still here in Denver for a few days, so we'll be doing some riding when we can. Maybe over the weekend we'll get to Bishops Castle.. --a local attraction I've wanted to see for a long time.

Yesterday we went to Erico Motorsports in downtown denver. That's where they sell the cool $H1T.. Ducati's, Guzzi's, Triumphs and Vespa's. Interesting to see espresso machines and motorcyles in the same building. Ran into a kid outside with a Buell. I told him that it was the best bike he'd ever own. After sitting on a Street Triple, I may STILL agree. -Didn't feel right. I wish I was taller sometimes.

Hard to say, I did see someone with a KTM Superduke this afternoon. It looked the goods.

Funk, look for us next spring on the ride to the Barber Speedway...  we are planning to see some buddies in Lousiana and Alabama and QBS in Texas.
You have a year to plan for it... God willing. :)

fret not

AKV, your new scooter is certainly a vision, but not a Vision.  You sound like a semi dangerous man.  I hope your ride is as enjoyable as you think it will be.  That poor Sportster rider, I feel for him.  That ain't no kind of bike to be traveling any distances on, is it?  Make sure he has a kidney belt or something.  Clear skies.
Retired, on the downhill slide. . . . . . . . still feels like going uphill!

We got Hyderized... the Sportser rider survived and still loves his bike... he did comment that the suspension seems stiff.

The road to Hyder is in my top ten best on the west North America, including California Coast (1), Going to the Sun (MT), Fraiser Canyon, BC, Jasper, BC and Highway 20 (WA). 
It was just glorious.  We did 10 days.  No rain, sunny in mid 80's in Smithers.
