Default Greetings from Colorado

I've been lurking here for a few days & like your site so I had to join up. Last July, I bought an '06 Stratoliner Midnight for me & the wife to take on long hauls. I had an '02 Warrior (sold it this past January) that I loved but it just wasn't comfy enough for long hauls.

Anyway, lookin' forward to be a part of your site.

Oh, also................The last weekend of August every year, me & several buddies do a "5 States In One Day" ride. From Colorado Springs to New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, & back home. If anyone in the area wants to join us this year, just lemme know. No fees of any kind & patches are provided at the end of the run.

Stratolounger. Good that you made your presence known. Does she look something like this? Or is she all dressed up for those long hauls?
Enjoy the site, ride safe, and post often.

Welcome to the site, from another CO Springs member. 5 states in a day sounds good, but I may be riding central CO with my daughter from Utah that weekend. Post some information about it when it's closer, if I can get away that weekend, I just may join.

Thanks for the warm welcome

The 5 States Ride is a little over 600 miles. We start out at 6:00 am & end up back in town around 9:00 pm, including stops for breakfast, lunch & dinner.

Here's a few pics during the ride
