Fort Collins, CO
At Thunder Mountain yesterday, we purchased a new passenger pillion for The Ride. It is studded to match the rest of the detail on the bike and more importantly, is designed to accommodate a wider payload. Yes, that would be me. Ha! We/I tested the comfort zone in about an 80 mile BTGTW ride and I'm happy to report - it is much better! Seriously, the new pillion is about two inches wider, sits much better and higher and gives my short legs more stretch at the knee. I don't slide as much either, I think because I have a better position on the pegs. There is a matching studded back rest for the sissy bar we will add PDQ.
Our ride took us south through Loveland, then east across I-25 to the exit nearest Johnson's Corner. I may have mentioned it before, the rule is: if you get within a mile of Johnson's Corner you must stop for coffee and pie or a cinnamon roll. This morning we chose one of the world famous cinnamon rolls. YUM! Of course, biscuits and pie and giant cinnamon rolls may be why we developed a need for a wider seat. Go figger...
With that said, as we were leaving Johnson's Corner a biker and a very cute, skinny blonde in a mini-skirt rode up behind a rider on this Nice Custom Ride. Look at her perch - Oh Me!
Before heading out on the rest of our ride we browsed through the leathers and motorcycle accessories in the CB Shop just across the street from Johnson's Corner. They keep a decent stock of leathers, helmets and motorcycle accessories and the folks who run it are very nice.
The day was gorgeous in northern Colorado for a ride. Motorcycles were everywhere. We had sun and temps in the 60s and mild winds. Both of us were reluctant to bring it on home so we rode the long way around in sort of a long looping figure eight that took us down a few farm roads on the east side of I-25, across to the west side of Loveland and finally north over the dam and back into Fort Collins just in time to pack Tim's lunch and send him off to work.
This picture of Tim feeling a little frisky pretty much says it all. We had a great ride this morning.
