You have no right to ever complain for the rest of you life. The pictures were outstanding. You are a lucky person. The roads looked outstanding.

Nice pictures! Looks like you had good weather and a great ride. There's no doubt that highway 92 is a fun one.

The pictures were gorgeous. What kind of camera were you using?

I borrowed my Dads Canon EOS DSLR camera (nothing special), it's about 5 years old.

Observed all the VFR's coming through Grand County Last week, even saw you in amongst the bunch. I was wondering what was going on. To bad I had to work or I would have been out riding those days myself. Great pictures.

Sweet pics! Man I need to go there. :yahoo:

Great looking pictures!! I leave Hell's Ranch, AZ tomorrow morning heading to Flagstaff for a rendezvous on Thursday to ride Colorado with about 12 other FJR Forum folks and AZ Beemers, staying on the Western Slope, which should prove to be an awesome ride also. Although I am doubting whether my little camera will be able to match the quality of the shots you have posted here.

The pics seen here have most diffidently risen my anticipation of our upcoming ride. Watching the weather predictions over the past several days, we too should luck out and have mostly sunny skies, other than the typical chance of that daily afternoon Colorado thunderstorm. I'll will however keep my fingers crossed!

Glad your ride turned out so good, you really could not have had things much better!

hey, great pictures and great report! thank you for taking me back there.

I was in RMNP 4 weeks ago today hiking. We got rain every day! Ward, Nederland, hiwy 72, trail ridge road, all great, fun stuff to ride and scenery to enjoy.

How sad were those brown trees in RMNP? That beetle is really doing a number on them.

thanks again, kudos for a fun report.

Hell, I am using one of them now as my desktop image on the old computer!! (if you don't mind, that is!) Regards, LCJ
