Carvin' Up Curves...

Riders taking part in the Third Annual Molly-Dharma Run to benefit Maxfund rumble through the hills above Denver on their way to Kermitt's for a short stop. Somme 330 riders on 225 bikes took part in the ride, far surpassing organisers' expectations. Around $7500 was raised by the ride for the no-kill MaxFund Animal Shelter in Denver. Run participants were lucky: Mother nature rumbled back later in the day when a tornado appeared over Denver during the after-run party. The twister didn't stop the festivities, though.

Arvada, Colorado, Passes Questionable & Targeted Noise Ordinance
Submitted by theboss on Fri, 07/03/2009 - 11:40am.By Tim Anderson
The City of Arvada has very quietly passed a motorcycle exhaust noise ordinance that rivals the one Denver passed in terms of nastiness.
Made official on April 20, 2009, very few people outside the city government knew anything of the ordinance until the city reportedly sent out a letter to residents announcing the new law, and how it would make Arvada a better place.
At its core, the new law, CB09-013, is not too dissimilar from the Denver law. Arvada, though, added a couple questionable twists to their ordinance.

Deb “Tiger” Chandler, COIR-Colorado Undersecretary, said it is tough to say for sure how many members COIR has at this point, but the number is higher than organizer expected.

Is there anything as American as a Shovelhead with a pretty girl hanging on it? Well other than Mom, baseball and apple pie…not much says “PROUDLY MADE IN THE USA” like this combination, which we thought was appropriate for this month.
