Retirement is Rigorous

I'll be headed out on FRI the 22nd to the Black Hills to Ride the 1880 train and then on to Denver to catch the Forney Transportation Museum. A friend from the Netherlands wants to go so I put my trip off for a few days to accomodate his schedule. I will not be attending WeSTOC this year

Post WeSTOC 9/13/12 - Colorado Monument

Grand Junction.. Colorado Monument... Flaming Gorge

Rode right by the Grand Junction Depot... stopped to take a picture just before Amtrak pulled in. The Depot is the old Rio Grande depot. The Grand Junction Depot is undergoing restoration. Talked to the Engineer a bit... poor guy still works way too many hours.

Made camp at the Firefighters Memorial Campground at Flaming Gorge

Post WeSTOC 9/10/12 - It was bound to happen

I tipped Rick's bike over today... it hiccuped just as I was coming to a stop... it stopped suddenly and the pavement was sloped away. No where to put my foot. Very little if any damage. Water from the cooler and fuel from the very full tanks added to the yard sale scene.

Post WeSTOC - 9/9/12

The Tags and I left Leadville this morning about 11am... I ate at the joint next door last night and they could not fix me the eggs Benedict with salmon last night so I ate that this morning. It was a mistake. Went through me without passing go... but made me go and now the part I sit on is sore.Not a good thing when doing 500 mile days on a motorbike. It was cool at 36F this morning anyway so I let thing settle and subside a bit before headed out onto Tennessee and Independence Pass.

Highlands Ranch to Leadville via High Grade Road and Deer Creek Canyon.

Look for the video here

I left brother Tim's in Highlands Ranch making a stop at Progressive Motorcycles to see if I could get a new helmet. My old one is threadbare inside to the point of tearing my ears off when I take it off. Stroke of luck! 20% off. I have been using the Shoei brand for about 20 years but could not resishttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gift the trick Scorpion brand this time. It has a inner visor that can be used as a sunshade and deflects rain to. The face shield as a gizmo that allows it to lock tighter for running in the rain.http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
