Headed to Moab tomorrow. We will check the weather and make plans after that.
And excellent roads with magnificent curves.Color me green with envy. Scenery and food to die for. :capwin:
R800GS.Very nice pictures Chuck! What were you riding?
Another bike we don’t get here. I’ll bet it was a fun bike to ride.R800GS.
I am sorry, I ment a F800GS Great little bike. Small and nimble enough for the hundreds of switchbacks that we rode, and powerful enough for passing on the narrow crowded twisty roads that we rode. Frame was large enough that I did not feel cramped and the bike was comfortable and balanced well. It's looks are not the most pleasing but that did not matter, as I was not looking at the bike much. Too many other beautiful things and scenery to look at.Another bike we don’t get here. I’ll bet it was a fun bike to ride.
I sure do like my Tiger 800. One of the most fun bikes I have ever had.
I LOVE riding Colorado! Trailered the ST out to Denver in July and then made some nice day-trips around the area while the wife hung-out with the grand kids. First took a little run down to Colorado Springs and back up thru Deckers...
Then it was up to Grand Lake to stay for a few days, via the "Peak to Peak" route and thru the Rocky Mountain Natl Park...
And last, I made a full-day run out to Walden, then over to Fort Collins and back thru the RM Natl Park to Grand Lake - what a beautiful ride!
Unfortunately, now I'm spoiled (its like skiing in the Rockies and then going home and try to get excited about skiing in Michigan - just not the same)
Great routes, all of them. Have ridden them multiple times. I did not make it over TrailRidge this year, nor did I get up to the top of Mt. Evans. I usually make those ride at least once a year. Going to have to do better in 2018. Your first route down 83 and back up 67 is one of my regular runs. It is my Famous "German Bakery Run".I'm pretty sure my brother-in-law and a friend of his took me on the Waldon run. Ate at a nice steak house? there. Long day. Did that in Aug. Riding in the park was awesome!!! Up on top (12000') point, the nads were crawling up in me. The vastness of the Rockies was mind blowing!!
One thing one does not do with the little Versys 300X..........Is get in a Hurry. That little bike forces one to smell the roses ( err, ragweed) along the way. After I made the turn in Elizabeth I found some dirt roads that took me most of the way back to the Aurora Reservoir. Kind of need just tooling along on dirt county roads. Great grabbing lunch with you.Nice to catch up with you today Chuck. I noticed how clear the air was and how large Pike's Peak appeared, but I didn't stop for a picture.
