Winter?....Where?
Submitted by theboss on Sun, 01/08/2012 - 11:59am.
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.

Toy Run Rocks Courtesy Of 2-Wheelers
Submitted by theboss on Tue, 01/10/2012 - 1:17pm.More than 150 people on about 100 motorcycles filled the streets of Northwest Denver around 2-Wheelers Motorcycle Shop November 27th for the annual 2-Wheelers/Stan’s Signs Toy Run.
It was the largest turnout for the run in a few years.
“It’s been a while since we’ve had this many people,” Remarked 2-Wheelers’ Arlin Fatland. The Weather’s beautiful…it’s a perfect day. I’m sure that has something to do with it. But people are in the mood for this run, too. It’s a great turnout.”

Tots scored big for the holidays again this year, they just won’t know about it ‘til Christmas.
The 24th Annual High Country Toy Run in Colorado Springs on October 2nd did more than a little bit to help out Santa this year, as participants contributed more than 2000 toys and more than $8000 to help make Christmas a little merrier for kids who might not have a Christmas in El Paso and teller counties.
The run is affiliated with the marine Corps Reserve Toys For Tots program.

Bikers really like boobies, there’s no question about it.
In Colorado Springs, they like ta-tas so much that they were throwing money at ‘em on October 2nd. Lots of money.
Now, in itself, bikers tossing out bucks for boobs isn’t that unusual—why else are there strip clubs? This October 2nd thing was different though. Bikers shelled out $22,500 for those lovely lady lumps in a single afternoon. It was a hooray for boobies kind of day.

By half time, the ass-whippin’ appeared to be on.
To the 1300-plus fans in attendance, the law enforcement squad looked to be over-matched…or perhaps under-motivated…for the 32nd annual flag football matchup against the Pueblo Bikers United gridiron gang.
When the final seconds ticked away two quarters later, the cops squad limped off the field a battered bunch, recipients of a 49-28 thumping in the 32nd annual PBU Toy Bowl.
The Biker win evens the series record for the autumn classic at 16-16. The game is the longest-running event of its kind in the nation.
...And The Blood Flowed

Blood flowed again at Sun Harley Davidson in Thornton, Colorado.
This time it was to the tune of 40 pints—enough to help up to 120 people who might need it.
“We hold this blood drive every year around the end of October,” said Sun spokesman Duane Akiama. “We get Bonfils Blood Center out here and our HOG chapter puts together the chili cook-off. Over the years it’s just become something we do, and it gets better every time. We had a pretty good crowd again this year, and the great weather we had just helped s little more.”

After six years, Emily’s Parade has become much more than a big motorcycle ride into Colorado’s Front Range Mountains.
Make no mistake, this ride born out of senseless tragedy in September of 2006 is still a big motorcycle ride into the mountains, but it is now firmly entrenched as a regional cross cultural event, and because of it, pink is one of Colorado’s autumn colors.
Four Corners Biker Rally Rules Desert, Mountains & In Between
Submitted by theboss on Thu, 10/06/2011 - 9:38am.Colorado’s Four Corners Region is still home to some of the best motorcycle rides in the west. That was proven again over Labor Day Weekend when around 15,000 riders poured into the area to ride and party as part of the Four Corners Biker Rally.
Motorcycles prowled from the high country of the San Juan Mountains to the scorching deserts of the Hovenweep and the Navajo lands beyond.
Make no mistake; the weekend was all about motorcycles in the Four Corners.

The first weekend after the 2001 9/11 attacks, Bikers United For America (BUFA) in Colorado Springs came to life. With its origins in the long-established Colorado Springs United Run, it was an almost effortless move for the group to hold a memorial ride that first time ten years ago. The same thing happened all across the country in cities large and small.
