You always do a great job showing off your state and putting the historical perspective to it. Very neat. Thanks a lot.

Went looking for your V-rod ride of a couple of years ago and couldn't find it. Any chance it, and a link, still exist?

Thanks everyone.  Very much.  The H-D delivers the memories.

Screamin... thanks.  Not sure which V-Rod ride you recall (And that you recall one, is impressive!).  One of my favorite V-Rod video rides was this one to the summit of Hoosier Pass.  This the one?  If not, what do you recall about it?  Going through tunnels and almost losing the camera ? :o

Here's both:

Hoosier Pass: http://www.farson.com/video/vrhoosier.wmv
Clear Creek Canyon: http://www.farson.com/video/vrclear2.wmv

Have others.

Great pictures, can't wait for riding season in the hills!!

sfarson, there's something from Jeff Foxworthy for people from Colorado.

It was only a matter of time before Jeff Foxworthy took a couple of shots at Colorado.
 
You are a Coloradoan if ...........
 
1. You switch from "Heat" to "A/C" in one day.
 
2. You know what the "Peoples Republic of Boulder" means.
 
3. Your sense of direction is: towards the mountains and away from the mountains.
 
4. You're a meat-eating vegetarian.
 
5. The bike on your car is worth more than your car and you have your own special bike lane.
 
6. You're able to drive 65 miles per hour through 13 feet of snow during a raging blizzard without even flinching.
 
7. You take your out-of-town guests to Casa Bonita even though you would never go there otherwise. 
 
8. You think your major food groups are granola bars, tofu and Fat Tire Beer.
 
9. You design your kid's Halloween costumes to fit over a snow suit.
 
10. You think that sexy lingerie is wool socks and flannel PJs.
 
11. You know all 4 seasons "almost winter, winter, still winter and spring blizzards"
 
12. You've been tear gassed in a riot to celebrate a CU/CSU victory.
 
13. You can never figure out why your out-of-town guests faint from altitude sickness on a picnic to the mountains.
 
14. You can drive over a 12,000-foot pass in 4 feet of snow, but can't get to work if there are 4 inches of snow.
 
15. You know the 'correct' pronunciation of Buena Vista .
 
16. When you visit friends at sea level, you can drink a case of beer and not get a buzz.
 
17. Your car insurance costs more than your
car.
 
18. You have surge protectors on every outlet.
 
19. April showers bring May blizzards.
 
20. 'Timberline' is someplace you have actually been.
 
21. You know what a 'Chinook' is
 
22. You know what a 'Rocky Mountain Oyster' is.
 
23. You know what a "fourteener" is.
 
24. .But you don't know what a "turn signal" is.
 
25. A bear on your front porch doesn't bother you nearly as much as a Democrat in Congress does.
 
26. Your golf bag has a 9-iron, a 3-wood and a lightning rod.
 
27. People from out of state breathe 5 times as often as you do.
 
28. Having a Senator named Nighthorse doesn't seem strange.
 
29. Thunder has set off your car alarm.
 
30. You have an $800 stereo in your $300 truck.
 
31. You think a red light means 3 more cars can go.
 
32. Where we're going, we don't need roads!!
 
33. You know where the real "South Park " is.
 
34. You can recognize the license plates of all 50 states on sight.
 
35. Driving directions usually include 'Go over _________ Pass. '
 
36. You've 'checked for ticks'
 
37. You've dressed in shorts, sandals, and a parka with a hood.
 
38. You've gone snow skiing in July and.........
 
39. You've played golf in January and.......
 
40. They were in the same year!
 
41. You've urinated on the Continental Divide just so it could run into both oceans
 
42. You know what a down slope and an up slope weather pattern is
 
43. And the most important: You get a certain feeling of satisfaction from knowing that California and Texas are both downstream.
 
44. You actually understand these jokes and send them to your Colorado friends,

TCnBham... You have an eye for this!  The North Fork of the South Platte is a Gold Medal trout stream.  Not far from the location of this ride I once came around a corner and noted LEO vehicles parked on the side.  V.P. Cheney was fishing the stream.
