Boo Ride 2011
October 31, 2011
Colorado, USA
What do you do on a sunny Hallowe'en Day in Northern Colorado?
First, you thank the Boo-Gods that it is a sunny Hallowe'en day fit for riding.
Second, you roll the Harley out of the garage in proper appreciation of the opportunity to ride.
And third, you give the resident witch a ride.
Finally, you don't ask a stupid question like "which witch?" Ha!
Hallowe'en around our house is like most major holidays in other houses. So we take off and goof off. We rolled out of here about noon for a 55 mile witchin' ride that took us to lunch at Nordy's BBQ where we dined on catfish! That required a stroll through Thunder Mountain Harley-Davidson to walk it off. Afterwards we took the long roundabout way home with a ride through the small town of Tinmath where the ghosts and goblins were already out looking for goodies.
Nordy's BBQ is one of the few places you can get catfish in Colorado - mind you, it's not Texas catfish but it will take the edge off the craving - grin.

Many thanks to Colorado Patriots
October 29, 2011
Colorado, USA
Many thanks to the riders who stood beside us in the flag line today to honor a family member and veteran. We appreciate the frosty escort to the cemetery and know that you stood ankle deep in snow and slush as well as braved the cold winds that tugged harshly at the flags we held... We were proud to be in such good company - and comforted by your presence.

Frosty white birthday ride
October 28, 2011
Colorado, USA
I usually hold my breath every year hoping the weather will cooperate for a birthday ride... sometimes I get lucky. As it turns out we have snow on the ground and it is cold.
I did get a drive to breakfast before we layered up around noon and rode sixty some odd cold miles to the north end of Denver. We have a Memorial Mission tomorrow for the husband of Tim's cousin. We made a decision to ride south this afternoon rather than ride early in the morning with temps below freezing.
Snow on the ground makes for a frosty birthday ride
Frost on the pumpkin... or jack-o-lantern - lol!
So we are tucked away in a motel for the night after a great birthday stroll for supper at a nearby Chili's - shrimp tacos and a couple of margaritas gave us a proper thaw.

October Afternoon Ride
October 23, 2011
Colorado, USA
We logged 192 miles on this fine October day just riding a wide circuitous route around our area, getting as far south as Longmont. The leaves are changing and there are pumpkins laying in fields and harvest festivals happening all around.
Tim thought we should stop at High Country Harley-Davidson and see if there was something I might like for my birthday that's coming up soon.
Hmmmm.... what's wrong with this picture?
I didn't find anything but I was happy to see Tim exchange the vest that makes him look a bit like Baby Huey ** grins ** for this new one.
Otherwise, it was just a pleasant, lazy day enjoying the Harley and my favorite time of year.

TEXAS: mBSc Alert
October 5, 2011
Colorado, USA
Texas -- From an anonymous source... Beware, warning, attention residents of Wichita Falls and surrounding area
The mBSc riders are out and about this morning. Last I heard, they were on their way to Red River Harley-Davidson to have, free, must I say again "free" coffee and will probably be there until the pot runs dry. Then they will be in route to a location to drop off a bike trailer to some resident outside of Wichita Falls... So be aware! Who knows what might happen next. They have a habit of going for coffee and going to have more coffee and after that going to have more coffee until about noon. When the owners of whatever coffee-serving establishment start getting ready for the lunch crowd, then they move on to other things... There's no telling what mischief they might get into the rest of the day.
So if you see an "old" man with a beard, watch out for him because he just follows along with the others (yeah - right) and then watch out for a "less older" bearded man who seems to be in the middle of everything and then there is this younger guy that really gets them into trouble or maybe not exactly trouble but all are likely to pay a visit to Miss Behavior at any time... and Lord knows what sort of hijinx if the other two members are along for the ride. So beware of these guys on Harleys who ride around trying to find free coffee. Approach them with cautuon if they have to pay for coffee... because they may ask you to join them and stick you with the tab.
These guys are sometimes armed and dangerous with opinions that dominate their conversation about world problems and how to solve them...
That's their motto ya know: Solving the ills of the world... One cup of coffee at a time.
