Just a note to let you know you all SUCK  ;D

I got to tear up those roads in a rented minivan last year...plus I had to drive past the BMW/Ducati dealership in every day.  Wife's grandparents live in Windsor.

Third day in a row of sweating in the humidity and breathing "unhealthy levels of ozone" on the flat, straight roads of Houston here.  Enjoy, and remember you all SUCK.

well, it may not be humid but, it will definitely be HOT... yesterday we tied the record high and it hit 100degrees in denver. 

too bad we'll have the wind in our face right?   ;)  ya, ya, i know, we suck.   ;D

I must say that was excellent.
I'll do it again anyday. prob. not on the weekend though.
It was great meeting other members of this board also. I'm charging my battery on my 750 and should have it idleing tomorrow night.
What's a little rain and some hail.

no longjohns but, i did have the heated grips  :)

i'm not sure who was crazier... ol' bob or the suv woman!  ha ha. 
also, the leftovers were far better than the freshens.  smoked turkey sandwich: to die for.

Great ride guys !! When are we doing Mt Evans? Thats another day ride. Nothing like a 14,000 ft mountain peak on an old Honda. Pikes Peak will be in order too. Another 14,000 ft mountain peak. The Independence Pass/Aspen ride needs to be done also. We'll have to stop over for beers and fun on that one. Or not - I got in 315 miles today. 
As someone mentioned, I guess this means we suck. :D ;D ::)

Heffay, no heated grips next time. Our electricals can't handle it. Thats like cheating.
As of today 3/13/2012 my original owner 75 CB750F has made it through 3 wives, er EX-wives. Free at last.  ;-)

Salt in the wound.  Looks like everybody had a good time with no incidents.  Do the bikes run out of steam at that altitude?  I think I'd need a little oxygen mask in my helmet up there.

Sorry about the record heat in Denver.  Take some consolation in the fact you can ride an hour and see frickin' SNOW on the ground.  In June.  I stand by my earlier statement re: you suck.

I need to stuff my 400F in the carry-on luggage next time we visit and have you guys show me around.

Cool.  You free tomorrow? ;)

I'll have to look you guys up.  I need more entertainment options up there.  I found a new hobby last time...get really drunk and ride the 'Alpine Slide' in Heritage Square.  Wheeee!!!!

Just let us know whenever you're going to be in town.  I have a spare bike, too, so you'll never be lacking something to ride.  Of course it's hot pink, has a banana seat, and tassles on the handlebars, but that's pretty much your style, right? ;D

Yeah, sorry that name's not too creative.  It's an old login from work.  I'm pretty forgetful and just used the same username for everything.  The 'tsfl' had something to do with my job description...the 'stb' part's my initials.  You can call me "tussfullstub, International Man of Leisure" 8)
