5th
ANNIVERSARY
LUAU |
|
The
weather
was
fine,
the
ride
was
short.
We
arrived
en
masse
to
Las
Palmas
(Tom
&
Beth’s)
and
a
very
nice
surprise.
Our
sponsors,
Mark
&
Bev,
placed
live
flower
lei’s
around
everyone’s
neck.
They
had
flown
them
in
from
Hawaii
the
previous
day.
This
really
was
a
nice
touch
to
the
luau
theme
we
had
adopted.
It
was
also
our
fifth
anniversary
as
a
HOG
chapter.
Wow,
how
the
chapter
has
grown
in
five
years!
The
food
was
excellent
and
the
company
even
better.
A
perfect
example
of
riding
and
having
fun.
We
had
old
and
new
members
in
attendance,
as
well
as
some
potential
new
members
(they
have
since
joined
the
chapter).
We
are
now
into
summer
and
have
some
great
rides
coming
up.
Don’t
forget
to
take
lots
of
water
and
stay
hydrated.
Let’s
continue
to
ride
and
have
fun.

| My
June
Road
Trip |
A
friend
of
mine
from
Brooklyn,
NY,
Jimmie
G,
and
another
friend
from
Cape
Giradeau,
MO,
Boyd
T,
came
to
visit
me
and
take
an
11
day
motorcycle
tour
that
I
planned.
Here
are
some
highlights
of
that
trip...
...June
17
to
June
27,
2007...approximately
3900
miles...
...Colorado,
Durango

herds
at
11000
ft.
elevation...Royal

Highest
Suspension
Bridge...more
like
a
boardwalk...we
rode
our
bikes
across
it,
scary
cool...Pikes
Peak...10
miles
up
paved...then
9
miles
of
gravel
road...awesome...we
put
the
3
bikes
in
front
of
the
sign
at
the
top
(picture
below)...that
was
harder
than
riding
up
there...14110
ft.
elevation...
...OK...
...While
in

loop
in
Custer
State
Park
was
great...buffalo
on
the
road...a
park
ranger
caught
us
putting
on
rain
gear
and
told
us
to
stay
in
the
wild
life
information
building
with
him...a
thunder
storm
was
carrying
hail
and
50
mph
winds...he
had
us
put
the
bikes
as
close
to
the
building
as
possible
to
protect
them...it
rained
and
it
hailed
and
there
were
40
mph
winds...and
we
watched
it
all
thanks
to
a
park
ranger
named
"Don
Johnson"...we
stayed
out
of
the
only
bad
weather
that
we
encountered
for
the
11
days
of
riding...don't
forget
Spearfish
Canyon
SD...and
other
roads
in
the
Black
Hills...
Wyoming...Don't
forget
Devils
Tower...Rte
14
and
14A
and
Big
Horn
National
Forest...continually
great...herds
of
antelope
all
day...one
moose
and
a
wild
turkey...now
on
to
Chief
Joseph
Scenic
Byway...and
Beartooth
Pass...Wow...what
incredibly
fantastic
scenery
through
this
part
of
Wyoming
and
Montana...
...We
are
not
done
yet...
Yellowstone
National
Park...the
first
animals
we
saw
were
4
large
herds
of
Buffalo...they
were
everywhere...on
the
roads...on
the
shoulders...awesome....in
an
area
called
The
Bleached
Cliffs
we
used
someone's
viewing
glasses
and
observed
an
eaglet
in
a
nest
on
a
cliff...down
the
road
a
piece...a
moose....then...a
grizzly
bear
and
2
young
cubs...a
touching
moment...they
were
nursing...awesome...more
elk...more
buffalo
and
more
antelope...and
of
course
the
great
roads
and
scenery...
...Then
a
ride
thru
Flaming
Gorge
Utah...a
91
mile
long
reservoir...beautiful
colors...with
a
bridge
and
a
dam
at
the
southern
end...
Hope
this
makes
you
crave
a
road
trip!

AWARENESS |
|
WARNING:
This
is
a
test
of
mind,
body,
and
soul…
Do
you
know
if
the
motorist
next
to
you
is
impaired?
Is
there
debris
in
the
road
around
the
next
corner?
Are
you
mentally
ready
for
the
journey?
Are
you
physically
ready
for
the
elements?
We
know
all
about
your
soul.
These
are
thing
that
we
all
must
keep
in
mind
when
were
driving
a
car
or
riding
a
motorcycle.
When
driving
your
car
you
have
chosen
to
put
a
protective
shield
around
you.
When
you
get
on
your
motorcycle
you
have
made
the
decision
to
take
off
the
armor
and
enjoy
the
freedom
it
brings.
The
biggest
percentage
of
all
accidents
are
preventable.
We
as
motorists
have
all
done
stupid
things;
we
eat,
drink,
and
talk
on
the
cell
phone.
And
the
list
goes
on
and
on.
If
people
would
just
pay
more
attention
to
what
they
are
doing
then
and
only
then
will
the
high
percentage
of
accidents
go
down.
The
best
advice
I
can
give
to
any
motorcyclist
is
to
always
ride
at
their
skill
level,
and
take
a
Riders
safety
course
every
two
to
three
years.
If
you
haven’t
taken
a
Riders
course
please
sign
up
for
one,
you
will
be
a
better
and
safer
rider.

2007
HOG
Ridin’
the
Rockies
Touring
Rally
-
Ride
into
Thin
Air! |
|
On
the
25th
through
the
28th
of
June
1046+
people
came
together
to
celebrate
this
passion
we
all
have
for
riding
our
motorcycles.
48
or
so
of
those
folks
were
from
Arizona.
The
most
riders
from
a
single
state
were
from
Texas
where
over
160
of
HOGs
most
dedicated
folks
made
the
trip
to
enjoy
the
mountains
of
the
American
west.
Tim
and
Julie,
Sarge
and
Joyce,
Mike
and
Jeannie,
and
Tall
John
attended
from
Superstition
HOG.
A
recap
of
each
day
follows.
Day
One
–
Fort
Collins
–It
was
a
little
warm.
100
degrees
is
HOT
according
to
the
folks
in
Colorado.
For
us
it
was
bearable
and
we
made
the
most
of
it.
After
Check-in
and
the
Group
Riding
Safety
Briefings
there
was
a
Dealer
Party
at
Thunder
Mountain
Harley-Davidson
in
Loveland
with
a
band
and
lunch.
Following
that
was
the
Event
Kick-off
dinner
at
the
hotel
which
was
great
fun.
Afterwards
it
was
a
blast
hanging
out
and
talking
“ridin”
in
the
hotel
parking
lot
that
was
full
of
bikes
and
bikers.
The
estimated
bike
count
was
well
over
750
(IMHO).
Day
Two,
-
After
a
late
breakfast
and
a
bit
of
a
safety/trip
briefing,
most
of
the
Superstition
HOG
group
and
a
few
friends
from
Texas
(Thom
and
Candy
from
Austin)
headed
up
Big
Thompson
Canyon
to
Estes
Park
and
then
on
through
Rocky
Mountain
National
Park
on
Trail
Ridge
Road.
At
times
up
on
the
top
there
were
clouds
so
thick
you
couldn’t
see
ten
feet
in
front
of
you.
But
when
the
clouds
cleared
there
were
views
that
some
folks
will
never
see
in
10
lifetimes.
After
that
it
was
down
to
US
Highway
40
and
over
Berthoud
Pass
to
Interstate
70.
Topping
off
the
day
we
went
up
through
the
Eisenhower
Tunnel
and
then
back
down
to
Breckenridge
arriving
just
before
the
sun
set
on
the
peaks
to
the
west.
Day
Three
–
We
started
out
over
Hoosier
Pass
on
Colorado
Highway
9
following
that
road
to
US
Highway
24
east.
We
turned
south
towards
Cripple
Creek
on
a
county
road
that
Sarge
later
commented
was
probably
the
worst
road
he
had
ever
ridden
on.
Arriving
at
Cripple
Creek
we
were
surprised
to
see
streets
that
looked
a
little
like
Sturgis,
with
100s
of
bikes
lining
the
downtown
area.
Some
had
fun
in
the
Casinos
and
others
at
the
local
tourist
traps
like
the
narrow
gauge
railroad
that
takes
you
up
into
the
old
mining
areas
and
the
museums
full
of
antiques
and
memorabilia.
We
headed
back
via
Colorado
Highway
67
(a
much
better
roadway)
and
4
miles
or
so
out
of
the
town
of
Divide
we
saw
a
tornado
form
right
in
front
of
us.
We
made
a
quick
group
decision
to
“beat
feet”
to
the
west.
Other
than
30
miles
or
so
of
rain
and
some
wind
we
got
lucky;
the
tornado
had
decided
to
go
the
other
way.
Day
Four
–
The
Aspen
loop
over
Independence
Pass
has
some
of
the
most
scenic
views
in
the
entire
country.
If
there
is
ONE
road
you
don't
miss
on
your
next
trip
to
Colorado,
this
is
THAT
road.
Some
places
here
you
can
see
for
what
seems
to
be
forever,
with
jagged
peaks
and
forested
valleys
on
every
side.
After
leaving
this
awesome
scenery
it
was
down
Colorado
highway
82
into
Aspen
and
a
bit
of
shopping
in
the
downtown
area
for
those
so
inclined.
Then
we
continued
traveling
northwest
on
highway
82
with
a
brief
stop
at
Aspen
Valley
Harley-Davidson
to
check
out
the
latest
t-shirts
and
stuff.
After
that
we
fired
up
the
bikes
and
headed
out
on
the
I-70
though
Glenwood
Canyon
and
back
to
Breckenridge.That
night
there
was
a
farewell
reception
where
everyone
had
a
great
time,
telling
and
hearing
new
stories
of
the
road
between
new
found
friends
and
old
riding
partners.
If
you
have
never
experienced
one
of
these
Touring
Rallies
I
can
highly
recommend
you
give
it
a
try.
Everywhere
you
look
is
Harley
after
Harley,
and
everyone
is
riding
and
having
fun.
In
Colorado
this
year
we
really
did
"ride
into
thin
air”
at
the
2007
Ridin'
the
Rockies
HOG
Rally.
