Title: Hello for northen colorado
Post by: captinRob on June 15, 2012, 09:02:46 AM

Hi my name is Rob
loveland colorado
I've been riding for 7 ish years only had a street bike for 2 years though
Bikes
2001 monster 750
1992 Kawasaki zx600D (street fighter) (project)
1981 Honda cb650 (cafe racer project)

I graduated from motorcycle mechanics institute a few years back, I'm not very knowledgeable of ducati specific things but general tech questions I can probably help with.

I'll put some pics of the bikes up this evening....

Wecome great to see another Colorado rider. I lived in loveland for years miss running up to Estes after work with my roomate every night on my Superhawk and his tls1000. Starting to think I might need to start a Rocky Montain Naked Italians Club or something. Lol we will have to see.

Ya you might have to. looks like we have at least 4 people on here in northern Colorado, I would enjoy that I usually ride solo I don't have many friends who ride (in this state anyways). that estas ride is nice and fun. I thought I was gonna low side my kawasaki up there last summer haha good times

With the weekend forecast hovering around 100F+ for the front range, I'll definitely be heading for the mountains.

That sounds like a good idea, I'd be down.  Depending on how we are feeling, I kind of want to head up to Trail Ridge Road.  Also, I'll be going my own pace as I haven't done any canyon/twisty riding.  Let me know if that would be a problem.
