Danny -

Welcome aboard. What will you be doing, working/going to school at Ft. Lewis, or have a job lined up?

I was down your (soon-to-be) way a couple of weeks ago, when it snowed in mid-September from Coal Bank Hill Pass, to Montrose (well, sleet from Ouray to Montrose actually, and that's worse)

Mike "FCTush" Denton is in Montrose, and I'm in Grand Junction. By the time you get settled in, it'll be time to shut it down for the winter, but there will be individual days for riding. I'm not sure what's in the Springs, but Denver has two dealerships, Erico and Foothills. I've been to Foothills, and they're a great bunch.

Take care and have a safe move.
