« on: April 19, 2009, 08:22:58 AM »
Like the title says, If you're in the Denver area or can make it here, Saturday May 9th is the annual Old Bike Ride.  Details at the following website:

http://www.horizonslimited.org/


Also if you're interested, I'm having a garage day at my place next Saturday, 4/25.  PM me for details/location.

Of course you will, Paul!  If you didn't show up at the starting location we'd change the route to swing by your place and drag your ass out of bed! ;D ;D

wish i could i originally thought id have the 350f done by now but for some reason when it comes to rebuilding this bike it might as well be rocket science for me :(, im almost ready to find a cb350f lover in denver who i can pay to help me fix the bike up because at the rate i'm going, she'll never be done

I've offered up my '76 550K to anyone who wants to ride it, but nobody has taken me up on it yet.  Are you interested?

Nope.  We meet at Heffay's place on the 2nd Saturday of each month, which usually ends up being a garage day.  Aside from that it's just whenever somebody feels like having one.

Gordon,
If my 750 isn't running by the ride I might take you up on it. My boss might join us.

Thanks for pointing that out.  I emailed Bob to let him know. 

So to clarify, all the info at that website is correct for this year's OBR (except for the year).

That's cool. I was also confused because that is the same day as the other ride that starts in Lyons and is for old bikes only.
