All 39- Be Careful out there - cow/motorcyclist fatality accident It can be an issue in Colorado. A rider crested a hill at speed and on the other side was a dozen cows taking up both lanes. She didn't survive. Was talking to a truck driver (18 wheeler) not long ago while we both…
- Helmet or Bike? Best video cam mount option I picked up a Contour Roam for a steal last winter, looking forward to capturing some video of the ride to Colorado, the SumSumx2 and the epic post ride home. I'm quite familiar with editing and such. The unit came with…
- Sfarson, this one is for you! Rotterdam - new pics Dutchy... Thanks and WOW. Talk about leveling a city. And that historic church crippled but seemingly in a way, still standing defiantly (and beautiful today). I wonder the extent the bombing was indiscriminate, and if…
- Went riding today, our friend Bill went down. Prayers needed. I'm praying too.
- Then and Now Images Tex... It isn't your imagination. Back then trees in the vicinity of early Colorado mountain communities would be cut down for construction, furniture, heat, etc. Plus forest fires usually ran their course. Many more…
- The Only Bullfight on U.S. Soil capn... I'm experimenting with a Droid Bionic. To be sure, the image comes out best if there isn't any zoom, and the lighting/shadows cooperate. I haven't captured a really good VFR pic with the Bionic yet, but have…

- The Only Bullfight on U.S. Soil Majord... The camera is a Canon SX 260 HS. A very good point and shoot. I ride/travel light and like having a camera that fits in the jacket pocket. A previous incarnation of this line, the Canon SX 200 IS was the…
- Then and Now Images Hey all, gracious comments and thoughts. I'll have another batch one of these days. Rode to the semi-ghost town of Montezuma today. Hope to stop by the Colorado meet later this summer! Steve In 1905 the community of…
- Then and Now Images OK, it has been awhile. Here's another collection... Shawnee, Colorado was a place for tourists to stay a spell. The train noted in the preceding post would drop off Denver paying passengers at the Shawnee train stop…

- The Only Bullfight on U.S. Soil A great suggestion, but have a fam day planned for Memorial Day. But let's connect some time this season. Saw Bill the other day. Do you still tend to have Monday's off?
- The Only Bullfight on U.S. Soil Hey thanks all. Was putting the cam away when I noticed the sun through the clouds was lighting up the backdrop like a spotlight while keeping the bike "unlit". Groaned and took the camera out of the case, walked back…
- The Only Bullfight on U.S. Soil [image: Posted Image] In the late 1800's the town of Gillett sprung to life a few miles north of the mining communities of Cripple Creek and Victor, Colorado. But rather than minerals, Gillett is mostly famed for…
- Anyone knows about BMW K1200S Hey, that last pic is my '05 K12S. Can just note it shares longer distance sporting ride duties with the '01 VFR here. Very different than the VFR, but just as amazingly enjoyable, and can mention it has been an…
- Favorite iPhone Apps Pirelli Diablo SuperBiker is an awesome app, it logs speed and coordinates and best of all it also logs lean angle :P give it a look you'll love it. Thanks for the tip! Found it for the Android and it is excellent!
- Then and Now Images Hey another batch in case interest Paused at the motorcycle destination spot of Deckers today. Great riding in every direction. Gold medal fishing abounds in the Middle Fork of the South Platte here. Saw some rainbow…
- Then and Now Images Thanks all. Well, OK... another batch... Como in South Park 70 years ago... [image: Posted Image] In a way, not a whole lot has changed at this high meadow (10,000ft. elev) town, founded by Italian miners... [image:…
- VFR1200 vs 2005 Ducati ST4s Enjoyed an '01 ST4s for six years. On the short list of bikes missed most. The first few main service intervals can be pricey with the valve adjusts, but most owners don't bother anymore after, say, the 18K service.…
- Then and Now Images Good thoughts all. Thanks. OK, a few more... The well attended Boulder Falls in Boulder Canyon with well attended to men sitting still for the cam... [image: Posted Image] The Falls were closed to stabilize the rocks…
- Then and Now Images Kind thoughts everyone. As always. For a few more strolls through past... A festive 1901 Labor Day in the thriving, mining community of Eldora... [image: Posted Image] Well, with the mines less thriving, so is the now…
- Then and Now Images Ahhh, it was a Polaroid land camera given to me as a 1935 graduation gift. [image: Posted Image]

- Then and Now Images [image: Posted Image] FWIW, something different. A ride report over many years. Then and now. Standing where the photographer stood many years ago. I didn't always get it right... rushed pics, different lens, and other…
- Anyone running a Zumo 550 with the XM radio option? hondalover... You're right, the power/xm connections to the cradle are in front of the cradle, behind where the GPS sits. I plug them in from the right given the angle of the connector, but forgot the ports are not on…
- Anyone running a Zumo 550 with the XM radio option? Brian... Have had great success with a Zumo 550 and GSXM 30 antenna. For five years. But would note I use it with the BMW R1200RT, and not the VFR. I listen to XM, MP3's, audio books, and GPS instructions all through my…

- A ride across the Talimena Trail JJ... Thanks for the tale, the images, and a revisit to a very special area/road. I've ridden the Talimena twice and enjoyed coming along on your journey.
- Manufacturer Representation in Forum When I owned a V-Rod, even Willie G. was a forum member at the V-Rod forum and exchanged messages for awhile. Then I think he saw it didn't really lead anywhere, and that it was probably best to just browse the…

- Multistrada 1200 You need to separate your opinions, from what the industry is observing. The electronics, the power to weight, the riding modes, etc. have designers and engineers at other makes scrambling at the drawing boards to come…
- Multistrada 1200 Yes, it's a game changer. The electronics work, and go beyond what else is out there on street bikes. Oh sure, there is a scattered and stray report of an electronics glitch here and there, but overwhelmingly owners are…

- 2007 An Ozarks Odyssey Miguel, Sitting here in an overseas hotel room, it is nice to virtually come back to the States and see roads I've ridden often. Have been on most of the roads you note on annual bike trips to Tennessee from the west.…
