Bishops Castle Run on Sunday???

[Chris Halvorson]

Just seeing if anyone would be interested in a run down to Colorado City/Rye and head over to Bishops Castle...lot's of turns. 719-439-3958

Again, Im not going to have a guage cluster.... Might be up for a nice ride though. How long do you think the ride will be?

[Chris Halvorson]

What happened to the gauge cluster?

The ride to Colorado City is probably 70 miles. The trip over to bishops castle is ???. Once at the castle, we can cruise back the same way we came or take some more "scenic" route (more corners). So it would be a long trip without a speedo, temps, rpms etc...

Im having some mods done to it.

I might just have to. Might be able to talk some of the guys I work with into going. What time and where are you thinking about meeting up at?

[Chris Halvorson]

I was thinking about late morning somewhere on the south end of town.

What kind of mods? Due tell.

I'm having all the lights changed to led's and some of the colors changed, along with a gear indicator being installed. I wont be saying what colors im going with, you will have to wait and see them in person.

I still plan on riding with you tomorrow to the castle, not sure if the guys that I work with will be coming or not, we will see tomorrow.

[Chris Halvorson]

Sounds great. See you at Target on Circle/I-25 @ 1045.

What a great ride today. Russ, Ken & myself had a blast.

Bikes:

04 Honda 599 (fire hawk??)

05 Honda CBR 600RR

06 Honda CBR 1000RR

We went down I-25 (won't do that again) and took a fill up break at Colorado City/Rye. Then we proceeded to cruise up to Bishops Castle. After a few shots of the camera and some laughs, we went west. After making some pretty good time, we decided to head up HYW 96 to Westcliff. On the return trip we came down 96 to Hyw 115 and cruised that back to the Springs. Russ was the corner king of the day. He definitely made me look at a few things and some tire selections. Great ride today guys...you were all very safe and courteous to others...I'll ride with you anytime.

Next time when I have new tires, we will have to swap bikes Russ to see what the difference is between the 1000 and 600. (if you want too)

Looking at the structure...Ken won't let go

We did get to see a bunch of Big Horn Sheep on the way up to Westcliff...but I was too slow to snap a shot.

That was the most fun that I've had on my bike since I bought it. I'm definitely going to throw out a big thanks to you Chirs for organizing the ride. I had an absolute awesome time, we will just have to do it during the week day next time. I might give your bike a run, once you get some new tarrs.:D

New tires are next on the list. Next time we will have to go up to Boulder.

enough about the bikes and the ride - I want to know if you all climbed to the top of the castle and crossed the walkway at the top.

[Chris Halvorson]

That would be a "HELL NO"...LOL. As you can see in one of the pictures, Ken wouldn't let go of the main structure...let alone climb to the top.
