I was just on vacation in Colorado these past two weeks. Saw LOTS of motorcyclists (90% of them squids albeit) and a couple of 250r's (a yellow pregen and a black newgen) both in Denver. I wouldn't be surprised if they're members here on Ninjette. Really gave me an itch to ride.

The only downside is that it's hot and dry as hell over there (at least compared to what I'm used to in Illinois). We saw some smoke in the mountains from the wildfire. It looked like a volcano was erupting. The views are incredible, though. There were definitely some nice new roads along the way.

Plenty of squids out here, my friend included (no matter how much I tell him about it I mean at least get a proper fitting helmet instead of one too many sizes to big). Its hella hot and dry out here, its been like 100+ everyday for the past week. Its terrrible...There are like 5 wildfires going on all at once and they all are still growing.

immarkshy ever go down golden gate? there are some pretty nice views out there

Id be up for a ride in CO if I get my happy a** up there haha. Denver is 4 hours away i think and CO spring is 3 or 3 1/2. When I go we take an rx8 and make it in about 2.. 2 1/2 lmao.

Nice pics! That's less than 10 minutes from where I'm originally from. (Before moving to Japan.) I love the red rocks area. I'll never forget watching Jethro Tull playing on one leg with the full moon rising behind him at Red Rocks!!

Didn't ride a bike when I was there (got my bike license here) but the roads would be great for it. Hope they get the fires under control soon.

Safe riding! Keep an eye out for gravel on the curves.
