Well we had a great time today...cruising around with a bunch of Harleys, Honda's and other TWO wheeled beasts. We hung out with the Bike Club the IRON PIGS. These are active and retired Police officers and FireFighters. So basically the five stops were bars...but it was the most fun we have had bar hopping. We raised over Five Thousand Dollars for a couple Cancer patients...Diane, The presidential Pigs girlfriend and the VP who also has cancer...his name is Bill.

Here is a picture of RED and some of the bikes on the run this morning at the Waffle House. We had breakfast bright and early then headed out.

we sat at the Squatting Chicken for a bit and had some Tea and played a few video games.

And then headed off the the Garden of the Gods, My daughter and her Beau were in the Blue Ford pickup behind me. We were the only 4 wheeled vehicles on the run.

I found one bike I loved the flame job on....I'm really contemplating doing these on RED.

I'd say overall we probably cruise with about 75 bikes today.

so it was a great ride and a great day...Although it did rain and turn into HAIL...I was hearing O CRAP all over the bar. But it didn't get too sizable so it didn't hurt the bikes or my RED.

Nice mountains in the background... if I didn't know better, I'd say San Diego County.

that sounds like ALOT of fun. that must be cool, seing the thunder of harleys, and a nice car like "RED." i personaly wouldn't do the flame job, just IMO. flames look best on big 50's style cars, and of coarse, bikes.

Riverside baby....well, you don't know at all. I live in Colorado. That is in the Garden of the Gods just west of Colorado Springs at the Foot of Pikes Peak.

I really do like the flames, I'm thinking along the lines of going that style of flames but in a purple pearl so that it only pops out when the sun shines on them. And anything looks good in flames.

72, baby... you don't know at all. There's some mountains in SD County that look exactly like that. They're beautiful.

You may very well have some Beautiful hill where you live. But sugar you live at sea level and what you have are not mountains my dear. They are hills. I live at 6500 ft and the mountain you see is Pikes Peak and its at 14 thousand feet those are genuine mountains. And they don't call Colorado God's country for no reason. End of discussion.

Duster you would love the weather here. When it snows, it's gone sometimes the next day...our hottest day was 96 this year and its a dry heat. So the humidity doesn't kill ya. The weather never lasts, its beautiful here. You would absolutely love it. Especially if you took a drive up in Monarch Pass, on the western slope of the Continental Divide...you would never want to leave. Gorgeous.

that may happen out here, lots of trees and windy roads, thats the main reason why I only drive 25 down gravel, well that and I don't want any rock chips.
