Winter?....Where?

Winter seems to have taken a pass so far this year, leaving the roads clear for much-needed snow season putts. Toss in temperatures reaching into the 60s, and it's been downright pleasant riding with the exception of a few fast-moving storms. Sure, the skiers and resorts are bitching...but those of us who know the joy of clear pavement and two wheels can't--and shouldn't--complain. So put on your leather and go clear your head, or pretend it's summer, or just be a damn biker and roll up some miles; after all, that's what motorcycles are for.

An audit of Colorado’s Motorcycle Operator Safety Training (MOST) Program by the Office of the State Auditor released September 26, 2011, shows the motorcyclist-funded program to have significant problems. The audit calls for wide-ranging corrections to the program, or an outright shutdown of the program.
MOST was designed to provide financial reimbursement for students to take rider education courses in order to make them more affordable in an effort to increase rider safety.

His condition is considered terminal, though he is reportedly undergoing treatment at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.
Road Warrior--A Rolling tribute

You can take the boy out of the Army, but you never really get the Army out of the boy. That’s especially true if the boy spends 21 years in the Army.
That’s what Greg Miller of Pueblo did—spent 21 years serving his country in the US Army…16 of those years as a member of the Special Forces. So, when he retired from the 19th Special Forces Group based in Denver and traded in his camouflage for a motorcycle, something didn’t feel quite right.
