Amazing how fast time flies - There's been a lot of food drives and
toy runs, including the big one here in Colorado, sponsored by Rocky
Mountain H-D to The Children's Hospital the 22nd annual. A couple
others come to mind, A Righteous Ride V-twin had their 24th annual, and
Classics Roadhouse had their first annual.
As mentioned in Thunder Roads Magazine - Colorado Edition recent
articles included your "right to work" threat from working on your own
bike, and the helmet laws are always looming, same with "loud pipes".
Revenue laws more than anything, another way for gov't to tax by way of
penalties. Where does that money go? That's why you have no
way to defend yourself.

Now some news that will make you hotter than you have been in a long
time. Seems that starting July 1st, 2007 if you're luckily riding
through Denver, Colorado, you're bound to be chosen to receive a $500
fine for your 85 plus decibel pipes. If you're lucky, you have 84
decibel pipes.
More in the line of the law.. it's required now in the State of Colorado,
that those age 16 to 21 wear a helmet starting July 1st, 2007.

EXTRA STUFF
IF YOU GOT RIDIN' FEVER AS BAD AS I DO, I know it cuts into riding
time but take the time to check the few things that will make riding a
lot better. Surprising enough, for me, I put a dash of my favorite
fuel enhancer in my tank. H-D has a good one and it works, works
way better than a person would expect it should. Notice, fuel is
my biggest peeve? Nothing worse than bad fuel... maybe it's where
I get it too (everywhere).
Here are a few more things that make riding much nicer, these
are ideas off the cuff... annoyances that tend to sneak up and bug me.
- Throttle cables adjusted and lubed
- Clutch adjusted
- Primary Chain inspected / adjusted (more important than it would
seem)
- Drive belt or chain checked and adjusted
- Tune up (of course)
- Oil Change
- check all fluid levels and know what your doing when you check
them.
Last year went by quickly, not only for me but for
a lot of people I know. It was a year that had to be done.
Last year was filled with a lot of great events. Some which are
featured throughout the site in various places. What's the sense
of being totally organized? However I am trying to gain some
semblance of that trait only so it's easier to maneuver around.
Here we are, 2006. And what a few first
days!!! The weather phenomenal for riding. I have to
admit. I've seen a few large groups and wonder what the hell I
missed. It's so damn good to see fellow bikers out.
Interestingly enough, there has been that share of people with
shit-for-brains out also, you know them, those drivin' that steel
rattle trap.
