Thanks for everyone's participation and support in making our DITR 2010 a memorable event
Here are some pics:

Gonna do a write up and add my pics. But primarily want to make sure Bonfy made it home OK. That was my first parking lot tire swap without the benefit of a tire machine.

Hope everyone had a great time (I know I did...keeping up with the BMWs of Micah and Willy was some fun but also some work) and looking forward to next year.

   ZLTFUL, Thanks for all You did, I overslept sun. morn. and wished someone had called to wake Me, apparently You had it under control. Bonfy, Charlie and I had a good ride home, seen Nick in Gunnison when We stopped for fuel, Charlie caught 285 in Poncha, Bonfy stopped to visit Shannon and the Critters, then headed Home. I had a great time, nice to meet new people and see some old friends again!!.. And the riding was fun also, between the mud washes, rocks, sheep and rain it was still a good experiance.. I must commend Bonfy on Her tenacity and strong will, and Stuart, Dusty, Nick, and Lee for Their support in an awkward situation, Thats what makes riding with This Group a pleasure...more to come...

Very nice, Matt.  Looks like you're having a pretty good time, there.   [moto]

Sorry for my late posting with pictures.  I had the chance to work some serious overtime this week so I didn't get a chance to load my pictures and get them on the forum.

Well, we all survived another DiTR!!!!  Yea!  Already looking forward to DiTR 2011.  It's always the highlight of my riding year.

I have already posted most of these on facebook, so I will limit it to some top favorites.  I will post the facebook link for those who may not have seen it.

And we are off:

Lee and I met up with KRJ in Canon City and headed across on beautiful Highway 50.





Turn down the volume for this video as I am nearly hyperventilating with excitement when the Denver crew arrives:



Here are some of the bikes on the first night. 



Lance is working the crowd and making lots of new friends.  Here he is with Zlitful, his new BFF. 



MotoMojo with Hannah:



DucMouse with her homie:



Lance meets Titty and wants some of that:



Meeting DucStew was a trip for Lance:



Wade with Hannah:



Skinner, Adam, and Justin arrive:



Red Gloves Squiddin' it:



Rendevoux:



This is about all the riding I got to do with the NMMR gang - a quick stop at the gas station on the way to Telluride:



It all started with the glowing green meteorite:



Sure had fun riding with Rosemary, Stuart, Nic, KRJ, and Lee.  We ended up splitting up with the larger group after I did my usual Jorge stunt.  But the bike was still ridable and I was still ridable, so we pressed on.  Once I got used to riding with crooked handlebars, things shaped up fine....

On the way to Gateway, Rosemary and Stuart split off and followed the gang coming in the opposite direction.  KRJ, Lee, Nic, and I made it over there and on the way back, KRJ and I stopped at the motorcycle shop in Montrose to pick up a tire...which I was wearing around my waist when my tire blew.



At that point, KRJ ran on ahead to Ouray to arrange a rescue mission.  Ryan (ZLitFul) stepped right up to the plate and came to collect the bike and I with his trailer.  He threw that tire on in no time flat the next morning for which he will have my eternal gratitude.



The ride home was uneventful, but I enjoyed it anyway.   

Thanks everyone for the great memories!  See you next year!

Ungrateful, cheating little latex bastard!  I thought I was his BFF.

Looking at the pic again, you can tell Lance isn't going to hang around Ryan for too long...

WTF!!! WATER??!!!  Without Hops & Barley?!!!

I still got a soft spot in my tail for ya, Bick.  One can never have too many homies, ya know.  Keep a barley pop on ice for me, and I like a good stiff one once in awhile, too.     SHOT TIME!!!!

Y'all are a bunch of instagators. Working to get him riled up like that sheesh.

Oh Stuart, were you pushing it with the same suspension that I saw on the TT last time you came through Outback or did you manage the upgrades before you left? If so, I've never seen anyone go after the Michlin man in a recliner. Must been interesting.

Mods done to the Legend before Ouray:
Kawasaki ZX9R rear shock
Added 2 1/2" inches of spring pre-load to the front end
Lowered the forks another 0.400" in the triples
Completed my modified 3-into-1 exhaust system w/the Remus can.

The poor Michelin man...destroyed...  What did he ever do to me?!? 

You need to ride this thing Anson...  It's soooo much better than it looks like it would be!

I know we just got back from this year's outing but wanted to see what
everyone thinks about this.....could accommodate the whole DITR gang
