Would anyone here be here interested in a Rocky Mtn Rally in early summer 2019? I was thinking Estes Park, Co. and Steamboat Springs so we could ride through Rocky Mtn. National Park. It’s a cool ride. But open to other areas of the Rockies. I think there are a couple members here from CO.

That IS a beautiful part of the country to ride through. I came through some of it on the way back from San Francisco a couple of years ago. I'd show up if I can get the time. My "job description" is a little sketchy right now.

I'd be interested, but man I hate kans-ass and might have to figure out a way to get there without going through it lol
I'd love to ride the Peak to Peak Bypass

And in a like manner, Southwestern Iowa and Nebraska ain't much fun, neither. BUT, it still beats the best day at work!

Oh suck it up you whiners. KS wouldn't be so bad if we have it in early June an take the 2 lanes through the OK panhandle. You all can stay at my house and get all rested up before we tackle it. Anyway JR likes it hot.

Call me a whiner too but Kansas sucks from one end to the other. My favorite thing about traveling through Kansas was the getting to the other side.

Sure I just haven’t heard from that many people. JR said he would be interested. It would probably be at least a week commitment. I’m still thinking Estes Park and Steamboat Springs w a trip through RMNP in June.

Hey, I'd be up for this thing. Well, as long as none of you guys wouldn't mind me showin' up on my Indian Springfield, anyway. (...sure, I still have the BA, but lately I've found longer distance runs like this just somehow seem SO much more comfortable on that big ol' Indian)
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Sure Dwight. We allow the occasional rogue Indian. Rich sometimes comes to the AR rally on his Classic
