Greetings from Co Springs. You're not a Red Hill spy are you? Look forward to a ride with you and all the locals this spring.

Hello from Lakewood!
Mike, you'll just have to ride with us when we go next warm trip: RXman (above) likes to round us all up for rides.

Are you pretty well melted out in Lyons? It's mighty shaded over there.   :D

Welcome, Mike!  As you can tell, there's more than a couple of us here on the western slope.  Riding weather is coming soon, and we'll definitely be doing some rides!  Check out the Rusted Nuts link in my signature line for info on our local group.

you still there, Mike?  We've got 1st Thursday at Club 404 tomorrow, you should come by.  Probably not many bikes due to the weather, but folks will still show up.

Looks like we might get a good melt-off today.  I'm planning on riding the KZ1000 if that's the case.  Heffay, let me know if you're coming and I'll bring the gasket set.

Thanks guys for the great response.  Looks like i missed the get together tonight, just got back from a few days of skiing.  Looks like the weather here will be drying things out, maybe i will see you on the road.
