Highlands/Sunnyside here. Currently rocking a DRZ400SM, and down to ride whatever on the weekends. I enjoy hopping curbs, riding twisties, and long moonlit wheelies down the Cherry Creek Bike Trail.

Radbot. Are you doing the OMG road tomorrow, or is that Sunday? I have a show at RR on Saturday Night, but could maybe swing the road in the AM? I figure if we're both gonna try and tackle it, we may as well do so with two of us.

Radbot posted:poo poo, didn't see this until now. Want to try some other time? What do your weekends normally look like? Yep! I did that one last weekend (Evans via Squaw). It got cold up there. My hooning stopped about 13,500 feet when my jetting became an issue. I'm supposed to do a ride with a local SuMo group Sat or Sun, but not sure which yet. I'd really like to get down to Salida/BV and do Cottonwood Pass this month, as well.

Considering riding out to CB on Saturday and camping. Not decided yet. If anyone has any other ideas or wants to ride, lemme know? EDIT: To add, if I camp I'm going to be riding with a backpack on, so... slowly. Akion fucked around with this message at 20:50 on Aug 8, 2014 |

Possibly. Depends on the weather. Also, this picture almost got my rear end kicked by the guy that runs the Chili stand on Santa Fe. He was convinced I sprayed his trucks because I stopped to take a picture.  Also did some SuMo riding down around Sedalia yesterday. First time on dirt, and first time doing this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VeAOda8fQ-g Akion fucked around with this message at 22:00 on Aug 11, 2014 |

Yeah, gently caress 70. If you're going to get back into town, just jump off at Evergreen and take Bear Creek Canyon back in. It takes as long as 70 with bad traffic, but it's prettier and twisties.

Radbot posted:Hell, jumping off at Idaho Springs and going to Echo Lake/Squaw Peak Rd can even be faster, especially if your destination is south of the city. I did that section on my Harley shortly before I sold it. Scary poo poo. Also, W/R/T the 12% grade on the OMG road, I did a stretch of road down near Sedalia two weeks ago that was 15% and packed dirt, didn't feel too bad.

Radbot posted:What bike were you on? That must have been Highway 67 outside of Sedalia, right? I bailed on that one - once the grade started increasing, the ABS wouldn't let me brake nearly at all, and I wimped out. Yes! I was on my DRZ. Wellington was fun on a bun, too. River crossings are... interesting.

I'll ride front range year-round as long as it's not snowy/icy (and I may ride a few snow days this winter since my commute is like... 2.5 miles). But yeah, the mountains kind of become a no-go somewhere in October-Dec depending on how far up it is. The Supermoto group I ride with still does rides all year, we just switch from the twisties to the industrial parks in the winter.

Alright. Who wants to ride this weekend? I need to put my new carb and clutch on the bike one day, but I am pretty flexible on which day that is. Both days look like they'll be decent, and I am down for riding whatever as long as it's not a ton of Superslab.

Radbot posted:I was wondering this exact same thing. Akion - think it's safe to ride up/in the foothills? Sorry, I've been in the process of buying a house. It's probably fine as long as you stay out of the canyons right now. They have too many shady patches that you can run up on quickly to be worth risking it. Also, LOL at asking a Supermoto rider what is safe. TEASE MY NECKBEARD posted:I'm going for it! (Assuming my bike's battery isn't dead) Are you rejetted for altitude yet? My DRZ was fine almost all the way up Evans last year and it was jetted for 5280.

I backed out of the one I was on. Too much wrong with it, so I'm still a renter. gently caress the real estate market here. Another reason for me to hate Californians. Been riding the last few days. So nice (not that I haven't been riding all winter, but it's nice not freezing while I do it).

new house bros. I just closed and moved in this weekend. My only riding lately was getting my bike from the old house to the new one.

I've been buzzing around town like a madman. However, I seem to have contracted the flu so no mountain riding for me. loving ride home yesterday sucked. Violent shivers don't do well for riding a motorcycle. On the off chance, any of you guys live in the North/West Wash park/Alamo Placito area and have garage space? I'm under contract on a condo there and I'd happily pay for garage space for my bike. It's basically at Speer and Clarkson.

Heads up, my poo poo got stolen last night near Wash Park. Black 2008 DRZ400SM. Mostly de-stickered other than a little on the tank, suzuki stickers on the swingarms/forks, and two small turtle-shaped stickers on the rear plastics. Full yosh exhaust and an FCR-39MX. 8k miles on it.

Yeah, I'm not holding out a ton of hope that I'll ever see it again. Honestly this may be it for me for a while. I don't have off-street parking and the cost to rent space in a garage is as much as my insurance costs annually. May just take the money and buy a new Kayak or something.

I rode my Mountain Bike all weekend while missing my SuMo. On the upside, the fucker that stole it got sentenced to a few years so there's that.

Turns out he was an idiot, riding like a douche out in Lakewood. The bike led the cops to his U-Haul full of stolen ID's and Credit Cards. Bam, 3 felonies. Aggravated Motor Vehicle Theft 2, Possession of Stolen Financial Instruments, Possession of Stolen ID. The LPD Detective was like "I know you don't want to hear it, but your bike getting stolen helped a lot of people". I was just like "Well, insurance paid me 2.5k more than I had in the bike so eh. Can I come down to the station and punch the guy a few times?" EDIT - Well gently caress. I just got a letter from the DA. Asswipe got a plea deal and is only going down for the Identity Theft charge. Akion fucked around with this message at 01:42 on Feb 18, 2016 |
