Part X - FINAL Coloradical IV Countdown.....

[POGOGOLF]

Here we sit at 17 days and counting down to the annual kick-off event in Denver! What a great trip for those who can attend...the memories are something that'll stick with you for a long time. As we've discussed before, it's a time of superb riding, super people, wonderful scenery and a chance to put faces with a bunch of the names of folks you've traded posts with over the years. http://www.coloradovtxriders.org/postpictures/Countdown/Coloradical%202005%20(254).JPG

I'm getting more excited by the day. Looking forward to seeing some familiar faces and meeting some new folks.

10 days and a wake-up until I start my ride. :D

[Git 'R Done]

Can't wait.......

I'm sure it will be 1 of many.... But thanks to you Pogo for getting us all pumped up about this for the past 954 days.....

And a big thanks goes out to everyone in CO that helps make this ride the success it is year after year!!!

[trueblueXrider]

Good morning everyone 8) Just 9 more getups for me, then we're outta here :D Jeff hope everything works out for you bro. If there's anything we can do to help your situation on this end, just say the word. By the way Cliff or Carol, what happened to the list of registrants. 2006 is missing, thought for a minute we had quite a few drop out until I realized it was the 2005 list posted.

[Carol]

... By the way Cliff or Carol, what happened to the list of registrants. 2006 is missing, thought for a minute we had quite a few drop out until I realized it was the 2005 list posted.

I can not believe how fast time is flying by. Did a quick check and did not find any current links that would take you to the 2005 list. Do you remember how you got there?

Here is the link to the 2006 registration. 2006 Registration List (http://www.coloradovtxriders.org/rideinjuly/registrationlist.htm)

I had the link in my favorites, now I go back and it's normal again. Before there were only 2 pages / 198 listings and I nor Bigdad was on it. I double checked to make sure I hadn't made a mistake and all indications were that it was the 2005 list since it only listed who participated in 2003 and 2004. No 2005 option. Oh well it's back to 2006 now anyway. All's good. 8) Thanks Carol.

[EricR]

15 days and a wake up Jeff. Hope it works out for y'all so I'll have some caravan partners instead of driving solo out there. Besides, wouldn't feel right being on a big ride without you and Mrs P in sight :wink:

Give me a shout if you want to take a spin one evening this week.

And good evening to the rest of y'all, since no one's telling me good morning or anything :cry: Jeff tell them I'm really not the other ericr19whatever and I'm ok!!!!! :lol:

Truelbue, It looks like y'all are leaving a week ahead of us, guess I'll get to meet y'all in CO. Have a good trip out there!

[motoman]

For some reason I can see page 1 of the registration list but I can't view page 2 or page 3. Is anyone else having this problem? I would like to see my name on the list just so I know it's reality and I haven't been dreaming!

Motoman - I don't see you on the list. :cry:

Just kidding :oops: You are number 183

It's for real and only a few days to go!

[POGOGOLF]

16 days to go!! Now here are 3 of the good guys! Joe (A.M.S.Medic), his lovely wife, DeDe and Carol...http://www.coloradovtxriders.org/photogallery/2004julyride/2004julybikegames/SlideshowCD00066f.jpg

[trueblueXrider]

Truelbue, It looks like y'all are leaving a week ahead of us, guess I'll get to meet y'all in CO. Have a good trip out there!

We'll be there. We're riding to Arizona and Utah first then back to Denver. By the way I don't know the other guy you're referring to, but he must have been a real winner. Ride safe on the way out, or drive whatever your case is. See you in Colorado.



By the way, wake up Jeff! Time to make the Colorado trip come to life for us! :lol: Good morning Jeff, WAH, Country girl, EricR, Cliff, Carol, and everyone else that I can't think of their names right now. :wink:

:roll: :? Um, er, that is to say...WHAT?! I've already done today's posting...where have you been?! 8) :lol:

[Country Girl]

Good Morning, trueblue, Jeff, WAH, Cliff ~n~Carol, EricR, & A. M. S. Medic! 13 more days until hubby and I head to CO!!! I am getting all my gear ready! Got my cameras loaded with film!

[trueblueXrider]

:roll: :? Um, er, that is to say...WHAT?! I've already done today's posting...where have you been?! 8) :lol:


Okay, you got me by a few seconds :lol: I'd have gotten you if a guy hadn't stopped me to ask a question while I was writing the post. :wink:

[wildabouthorses]

LOL good morning y'all (too lazy to type all the names out or copy and paste em!) The reason one can't find the links to the other registration list pages is the links are showing up mixed up in the list of names...well at least on my end thats what I am seeing. One duffle bag is already 3/4s packed with the leathers...

[VTreX1800c]

Looks like 357 people registered so for. Ride Safe and see y'all in the Rockies! :arrow: :arrow: :pepper1: :pepper1: :pepper1: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: I like icons :a13:

[Acrotech]

Jeff hope everything works out for you bro. If there's anything we can do to help your situation on this end, just say the word.

:shock: :shock: What I miss?

[Cliff]

I hate to be PIA, you know I love everybody but I must make a few corrections, or at least what I think should be corrected and of course make a comment or two.

16 days to go!! Now here are 3 of the good guys! Joe (A.M.S.Medic), his lovely wife, DeDe and Carol...
http://www.coloradovtxriders.org/photogallery/2004julyride/2004julybikegames/SlideshowCD00066f.jpg

I had no idea Joe had two lovely wives DeDe and Carol? That one walking looks strangely like my Carol. Wow, way to go Joe! :pepper1: :pepper1:

Cliff telling someone, "Go west, young man!"
http://www.coloradovtxriders.org/photogallery/2004julyride/2004julyindependencepass/SlideshowCD00046m.jpg

That's not quite correct. I was explaining the plan and how difficult it would be to re-group after lunch in Aspen. You can see how difficult a task we had by PolarX scratching his head. We did a GREAT job too, I think I only lost about 22 bikes that day but that's OK we found them on the road to Glenwood. That should be a song, On the Road to Glenwood ... maybe not.

You know I love you man, in a manly way of course and you are the best counter we have but if I understand you correctly, you are saying that is you helping Hermit? Take a close look sir, I believe that is Gary - Bye Bye Nowlen a CO rider. He was working crew for that IP Ride and hung on my every word, that's why he pulled out of Aspen early with 22 bikes and got losted from the rest of us! LOL

Check out these pics. Do you see the resemblance?

Sorry but ... currently we have 274 bikes and 384 people registered representing 30 states including Alaska plus Canada. We usually see and expect this year another 12 to 15% that just show up and don't register. This year as in past years, TX is leading the pack of states outside of CO with 35 bikes and 49 people. WIVO's are running a close second with 29 bikes and 44 people.

It's all good, I like icons too!

Thanks Country Girl, good evening :wink: Now I don't feel left out :P

It's going to be great getting to meet so many people off the forum out in CO, plus riding the Rockies...can't wait!!!

I got my Ultimate seat in today and I'm going to the garage now to put it on along with some new foot pegs (I'll show y'all why in a bit).

2 weeks from tomorrow I'm hitting the road!!!

FTR, a comma does NOT go after the "and", so your Carol is still your Carol and Joe's DeDe is still his DeDe; plus, he isn't one of those Mormon dudes, so he only has one wifey; regarding the second point, you were pointing, technically, to the west southwest, but I stand by my call; thirdly, it's me, sorry, but it is...what was the next point, I've already forgotten?! :!: :?: :idea: :? 8) :o :shock: :lol:

[POGOGOLF]

Speaking of Pains in the A**, Becky and I took a scoot today and in the middle of a curve I QUICKLY lost all the air in my rear (2,500 mile new) tire. Thank goodness I knew it immediately and we were OK, but now I have another new rear tire and that is but another nail in the coffin, so to speak (not to mention the crack all the way through the right side mounting hole in the Leather Lyke bag I found when removing them for the tire replacement), regarding our plans to come out there for the third year in a row. :( Oh, well, there's always next year I guess and it's only 380 days :) away.

[wildabouthorses]

WHAT? You're not coming this time Pogo? Now who's going to help Cliff run the bike games...just aint right!

Like George Jones sings...Who's Gonna Fill Those Shoes?

http://bigbikeriders.com/photopost/data/500/5917afunny2-med.jpg

PS glad you and Becky are okay, nasty place to be with a sudden flat!!!

[bluto]

:shock:

If a tire and cracked LeatherLyke are keeping you from going, I have good sized set of throw overs sitting in the garage and a rear tire off a Retro with about 4k left on it. Where do you want them sent?

[Country Girl]

Good Morning, trueblue, Jeff, WAH, Cliff ~n~Carol, EricR, & A. M. S. Medic! 13 more days until hubby and I head to CO!!! I am getting all my gear ready! Got my cameras loaded with film!

Thanks Country Girl, good evening :wink: Now I don't feel left out :P

It's going to be great getting to meet so many people off the forum out in CO, plus riding the Rockies...can't wait!!!

I got my Ultimate seat in today and I'm going to the garage now to put it on along with some new foot pegs (I'll show y'all why in a bit).

2 weeks from tomorrow I'm hitting the road!!!You're welcome! I am sooooooooo ready for this trip! It will be nice to put a face with the handle!

[EricR]

Oops, I didn't say evening to anyone else 'cept Country Girl. Evening to everyone else!! It'll be nice to meet you too Country Girl and everyone else out there!

Jeff, glad y'all came through the flat ok. I guess it was a nail or something? And I can't believe that's going to keep y'all from going again this year!!! Sometimes you need to "just do it"!!! Hope you change your mind.

Here's my old peg, I was afraid i might grind the rest of the bolt head off out there in CO so I put some new one's on tonight.

With but 2 weeks, 14 days to go to the kick-off event on Friday night, 6/30/06, it appears Becky & I will most likely be having to bow out this year; however, there's only 379 days until next years event!!

[wildabouthorses]

I'm sorry to read you and the Mrs are not able to make this one...we've been up and down a couple of times due to not sure if we had someone to take care of all the animals. Not just anyone can handle the dog, 5 birds and 3 horses all at the same time.

[RainDancer]

Jeff, I was truly looking forward to seeing you and Becky again this year. The only good that comes out of this is the thought that I may have to make a ride to Georgia to see you. Any excuse for a ride........... Hope to see you soon.

Tina

[Git 'R Done]

Perry and Jan, thoughts and prayers from CO for a speedy recovery.

Just a bit of history here for those watching, these pic's are of the Swan Hereford Ranch just before Pine and Buffalo Colorado.

This was Camp David for Dwight Eisenhower. He used to fly in all the time to fly fish during his term as President.

[POGOGOLF]

10 days to go!! Here's hoping Colorado gets a little rain between now and the week of the 4th to knock down those fires that have kicked up below Denver, but, naturally, it needs to have moved out by the time the festivities kick-off a week from this coming Friday. http://www.coloradovtxriders.org/postpictures/Countdown/Coloradical%202005%20(635).JPG

[Country Girl]

Good Morning! Things have slowed down on this thread. I know that all of us are pretty sad and upset to hear that Perry is still in the hospital. My thoughts and prayers are going out to Jan & Perry.

[RainDancer]

Good morning everyone. Only 3 more working days (not counting today) until we leave Orlando behind for a couple of weeks. If any of you see a couple of red VTX's with Florida tags going through, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah or Colorado in the next week or so give us a wave.. :D I'm looking forward to the ride and to seeing so many people in Colorado again.

Jan and Perry continue to be in my prayers. It is great to see so many posts in support of them. I hope they realize how special they are to most of us.

Tina

[Carol]

Yes, some rain would be really, really good. I also hope we cool off some. It's been more like August than June. :( I may have to buy Country Gril a short sleeve t-shirt. :oops:

[wildabouthorses]

hey guys thanks for all the kind words..not much time write back but been reading as much as i can. cliff thanks for the pic of my lil scottish bro's...now I want a newer one from this year of course. :wink: still enjoying the pics here though...there's always next year!

I don't think it will happen this year. Polar has a new work schedule and Grayballs hasn't committed to join us yet. No shirts, no BBQ no room probably meens no Bret.

And/or somewhere else...it'll happen! You guys will remember this trip for a while!!!!

[bluto]

T MINUS 22 HOURS UNTIL DEPARTURE!

Jeff, sorry you and Becky can't make it this year. We'll see you next year though :wink:

WAH and Tejas. Take care and heal well. We will see you guys again soon (come up and visit family will ya :D )

See everyone who can make it next friday, a mile up!

PS, I'm not doing as many states as Redbird (IL, IN, MI, Ontario, MN, ND, SD, WY, CO) but I'm hoping to take him in mileage.

[trueblueXrider]

Bluto, we won't be far behind you departing. Early Friday a.m. for me. I'm packed and the bike is loaded ready for blast off.

Raindancer, we'll be taking I-20 instead of 40. Jeff gave me some info about 40 and we changed our route. See you out around the Grand Canyon or Utah probably.

Country Girl, see you in Denver, ride safe from that Bluegrass state.

WAH and Tejas, ditto what Bluto said.

Jeff, sorry you guys couldn't make it. We'll catch up to you sometime after we get back.

EricR, look forward to meeting you bro, even if we two Georgians have to go to Colorado to do it.

To everyone else, in case I forgot someone, see you in Colorado!

[Country Girl]

[EricR]

Trueblue, Bluto and the rest leaving out...y'all be safe and enjoy the ride out there!!!

It is bad that we live no more than 40 miles apart and haven't met yet Trueblue. We'll get some rides in GA later this summer I'm sure. :wink:

Geood evening to everyone else tonight too. WAH, sorry y'all won't make it. Tell Tejas to heal up well and be ready for the next one!

I'm wheels up for CO in 7 days myself!! The bike's all ready, and so am I!!

True Blue, we might see you in east Texas since I-20 and I-10 merge there. We should be in that area close to noon on Monday the 26th.

ironmorph, we may run into you again on the 29th in the Moab area. We should be somewhere around there on the 29th also. :)

I'm now to the point of having a hard time thinking about work during working hours. I'm ready to be on the road. Please everyone, be safe and have a great trip.

Or sitting on the patio just beyond the double doors just passing the time in gentle banter... http://www.coloradovtxriders.org/postpictures/Countdown/Coloradical%202005%20(36).jpg
It all ends up focusing on the rides... http://www.coloradovtxriders.org/postpictures/Countdown/Coloradical%202005%20(325).JPG

[Country Girl]

Get your motor runnin' Head out on the highway...

I'm ready!

[wildabouthorses]

Maybe next year we could do something like you guys that are making it a longer round trip with CO as one of your stops. This gives us time to save up some more money and vacation days to attempt something like that to make up for missing it this year. :D

Tejas had wanted to go to Illinois to see my family then on over to CO but I wasn't sure I could handle all the miles as that made it nearly twice the miles so I had discouraged him about doing it. I won't turn him down next year... 8)

[EricR]

Good evening everyone!!!

4 days and a wake up for me now. All I have to do is get the trailer ready and pack on Wed evening (yeah, I pack in a bout an hour for a week long trip :wink: ). I'm wheels up Thursday morning the 29th and on my way!

The Shereton had two computers for us to get on. We had picked the Royal Gorge as Perry had never been there before. the O'l Farts Ride as I wanted to see that place that Amazing Race had started and ended at this last season, Curves and Canyons to get pics for once and the 5 Pass were the others we were planning to do.

BTW Cliff and Carol, thank you as we did get our items just before the accident. I've been just a bit "busy" to remember to tell y'all. :wink:

Everyone, please ride safe!

I apologies for not checking in sooner. My notification email that lets me know a post has taken place is running a day late, maybe longer.

Joe, Dr Bill - Gutsplitter is in Monte Vista / sand dunes. If you will have time to meet him for dinner or need anything ?? send me your cell and I will pass it on to him to contact you. Also check out the alligators. "Great Sand Dunes Here!" (http://www.coloradovtxriders.org/photogallery/050529greatsanddunes/050529greatsanddunes.htm)

trueblue - ditto

Pogo, Becky, Perry and Jan we will miss you for sure! Happy B day Jan, we will be a bit busy so I'm doing this early.

Tina left last Saturday morning.

Bluto is on the road and David is playing catch up to meet them in Canada.

No rain suit needed. Carol won't allow it, the rain that is, course she won't allow a lot of things but that is for another post. LOL

Git "R" Done keep leaning this way! yes no yes no yes yes yes yes

ironmorph, Dude repeat after me ... I do not need the kitchen sink or the fuzzy slippers.

All we need is another week or so to tie up all these loose ends! Where did they all come from? But alas, time waits for no man ... except Hugh Hefner and Spike. :o

Be safe on your journey, have fun and the light has been on since CG booked the first courtyard room July 7th 2005

[wildabouthorses]

Thank you for remembering Cliff...looks like I'll be a bit busy too... :wink: I will be happy if he is able to be home by that day...thats all I want. :D

With only 1 day to go before the official Kick-Off at the LaQuinta in Denver for the 4th annual Coloradical event, today's offering in the "countdown" is probably more for those of us not going :( than for those who'll be in attendance. If you've not yet attended one of these superbly put together events, you REALLY need to consider trying to make one in the near future!!! JMHO. My wife and I have been fortunate to have been for the last 2 years in a row and I am definitiely going back as soon as I can swing it! With that said, enjoy some more pics from Colorado ion July.... http://www.coloradovtxriders.org/postpictures/Countdown/Coloradical%202005%20(752).JPG

[wildabouthorses]

Thanks for checking in CG... glad to hear you guys made it there okay! Now for the rest of us at home we get to live your excitement through here! :wink: Hey CG somebody got a nice surprise from you today in the mail. 8)

[Carol]

There are quite a few bikes in the parking lot tonight.

AMS Medic is here. So are Spike and Acrotech. There is a couple from GA on a red retro. The Olsons from Minnesota, a Utah rider and a few others from California and Florida. And of course County Girl.

Sounds like they are taking a pre-ride ride in the morning.

Let the fun begin.

[POGOGOLF]

:roll: Speaking of which, it's here....Kick-Off time in the Rockies!!! BTW, Jan, tell Perry that the good news is, there are only 365 days to go until Coloradical V begins next year! You guys and gals have a fun, safe 4th and enjoy the companionship of fellow X'ers from all over the place!!! http://www.coloradovtxriders.org/postpictures/Countdown/Coloradical%202005%20(906).JPG

[Carol]

Cliff here in drag but don't tell anybody. Too much trouble to sign in as me.

I put Spike in 137 and he was afraid, very afraid... So afraid in fact that the honor would be given to him that he gave the room to the Hurley's, VTX Vixen and Pistol. HE wimped out and is staying at the Sheraton.

But that's OK we won't hold it against him. The ghost in that room scares even me!

[wildabouthorses]

LOL um cliff you look pretty as Carol but the voice is a little deep...gives you away everytime! LOL! So SPIKE had the honor and dropped it huh? :shock:
