    Official 2017 SW-FOG meet-up, Aug 3-6, Loveland, CO

    Traffic is a big issue for both RMNP and Mt. Evans. Two years ago we left Idaho Springs in the morning at 7am and got to the gate of Mt. Evans before it was opened offficially. It was open and we went on up to the top along with a bunch of folks. The ranger came along and ticketed cars and MC...

    Official 2017 SW-FOG meet-up, Aug 3-6, Loveland, CO

    I use MS streets and trips and program the ride with 60min of ride and 15min of rest. repeat. 1 hour for lunch. If you have a FJR, you can do all those rides on one tank of gas, or I can, so no gas stops. Oh ya, every ride in Colorado is scenic. I would pick a ride through the RMNP in the...

    WA Lane Splitting Bill

    What SacramentoMike says. We need to follow what CA has been doing and proven to work. Why try something new, that makes it hard to justify. We need to use proven acceptable practices, and what Mike says, supported by the Police. I'm with Mike on this. Who's doing this here in Washington...

    WA Lane Splitting Bill

    What we need is good lane sharing practices being done in real life, and flooding the media with what this looks like. That has not been done and any negative output from WSP will kill the effort. If we could ask WSP to site these hazards and show people what they were talking about as opposed...

    WA Lane Splitting Bill

    If 5378 passes and 1157 doesn't then we will have created an odd ball State. Understanding between driver and motorcyclist will be different than where this practice has been going on for years. They should have just written it like CA has been doing so. Surest way to have both of these bills...

    I have been to Colorado in the last two years and had no major problems. When riding Colorado, you have to stay away from busy places, like National parks and tourist type cities like Telluride. We had a problem in Telluride. And I was in Colorado when NAFO was going, only on more deserted...
