Looks like a fun time is planned in Kansas and CO..........when at the museum stop you may run into someone from the MOTORCYCLE CLASSICS magazine.  Be sure to say hello and get ready for pic......

Looks like it's a "go" at my end.   I do have some spare CB750 parts if anybody needs anything (heaven forbid) let me know tonight.  Looking forward to getting a good ride in, finally!

You're not expecting Lefty here this weekend are you? If you want to ride with GZ THIS weekend you gotta put on some serious miles. GZ will be here this Friday the 25th.

Probably just take the Harley. It hasn't been on the road enough lately and you won't have to mess with another. Thanks though.

Just wanted to say it was great to see & meet everyone today.  Last year it was an education in CB650's, this year it was education in CB350's!   Got tons of pics will get them posted a little bit later.  Was great to see GZ again as well.  Fun time.  Mileage to & from KC was about 418 miles.

Keith and Jerry, it's Justin again. Grandma's big cabin is 2 miles on up the mountain from san isabel the town and lake isabel.  Bishop's castle is 10 minutes away.  Cabin is at 9200 feet with a huge garage for our bikes when we are not riding.  I think riding around there would be awesome!  Jerry, I will call you.  Keith, please pm your phone number to me and we can work out the details!  I already have Jerry's phone number.  Justin

Have you done Bishop's Castle? It's/he's a trip! Gets kinda shaky at the top but it MUST be done!

Glad everyone made it home safely. I saw some hail accumulation along I-70 in eastern Colorado today. Reminded me of my trip home from Topeka last year a week or so earlier.

Jim Bishop is one of a kind.  He can talk all day about politics.  Caution, don't do what my cousin did, "Jim, did your dad start this castle?"  I thought Jim was going to breath fire!  I like Jim though, a talented man, who isn't afraid to tell how he really feels.  The castle is way cool!  I didn't quite make it to the top, it just got too shaky on that iron work for me.  My hat is off to any guy or gal who does go all the way to the top!  Great work, guys keeping Godzilla moving on his world tour 2012!
