A twenty-two-year Colorado autumn motorcycling tradition will take a year off in 2008.
The Nut Run, the unofficial last run of the riding season, has been cancelled this year.

“We’re not going to do it this year,” said Arlen Fatland from 2-Wheelers Motorcycle Shop in Denver, Fatland has been the driving force behind the Nut Run since its inception. “This is the first time we’ve not held the run in all these years.”

The early-morning August 9, 2008, shooting incident at The Loud American Roadhouse in Sturgis during the annual Black Hills Rally has had immediate and far-reaching ramifications.

In that incident, a member of the Iron Pigs Motorcycle Club from Seattle, Washington, shot twice and wounded a member of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club from California.
The latest fallout is the adoption of a “No Colors” policy at The Loud American Roadhouse, according to local press reports.

Football season is here, and that means everyone is playing ball, including Pueblo Bikers United.

Get ready, ‘cause the 29th Annual PBU Toy Bowl kicks off Saturday October 11th. The annual event features the Pueblo Bikers United football team butting heads with a team representing Pueblo area cops in a flag football contest that is a landmark among Colorado charity events.

Last year, PBU made it three wins in a row in handing the cops a solid 33-24 loss. The cops lead the series 15-13.

Once again, the best riding of the days of the year are here…all you have to do is get out and enjoy them. As much fun as the heat of the summer has been, the changes autumn brings are welcome, and colorful. Temperatures are generally cooler, and, the explosion of color in the high country that works magic on the soul is underway. If you don’t make the effort to get up into the hills soak up the feeling and atmosphere that is autumn in the Rockies, well, you’re just not properly focused.

Long and lean, that’s the way we like ‘em.

So when we came across Jeremy Kavan’s hand-built chopper—a long, lean, street prowler, we knew right away we had the right decoration to put this already sweet bike over the top…the lovely Shay.

Shay is long and lean herself, and wasted no time acquainting herself with Jeremy’s scooter.

“It’s addicting,” Pokorny enthused. “I can’t wait to go back…it’s just a great experience. Everything about it was incredible.”

If a hot summer day, your motorcycle, your best gal, and a sack full of water balloons sound like all the ingredients you need for a really good time, then you should have been at A.B.A.T.E. of Northeastern Wyoming’s annual rodeo on July 26th.

After a weather disaster last year, the annual event moved this year to what is expected to be it’s permanent location in the Wrangler Arena at Cam-Plex, Gillette’s multi-event facility.

Ignacio, Colorado once again played host to a hoard of bikers that descended on the tiny Southwestern Colorado town for the annual rite of passage that is the Four Corners Rally.

More specifically, it’s Ignacio Bike week, and it is the epicenter of a region-wide slate of activities and good times focused on bikers. And it is an unquestioned good time.
