Rolling down the west side of 10,001-foot Kenosha Pass riders follow Highway 285 into South Park, Colorado, en route to Fairplay during the 24th Annual Ladies Run Of Colorado. Each year on the second weekend in July the run barrels into Fairplay for a day and a night parties and good times for charity. Good weather on the ride up, with just enough raindrops to keep things interesting, set the tone for the weekends’ festivities in the mountain town. Photo by Tim Anderson

A little attitude can be a good thing.

One look at Dave Weaver’s custom-built Shovelhead will tell you that. When Dave sat down with Coop from Suicide Cycles in Manchester, Maryland, to design this little scooter, it quickly became apparent it was going to make a statement. When the bike started coming together, the attitude was obvious, and coop christened the old school bobber “Bitchslap.” We’re not sure why, but this root beer brown beauty jump up and get your attention.

The American way is the only way when it comes to motorcycles in July, and John Marshall’s custom home made shovelhead is as American as they come.

This bike screams American biker, and reflects the attitude of its owner.

“I call it Kiss My American Ass,” Marshall said. “I got that from a Special Forces tattoo, and it really fits my attitude.”

John feels so strongly that he even found a decal with the saying and put it on the bike. It’s the only color other than chrome & black on this beauty.

Riders climb up Berthoud Pass on Saturday June 26 on the first leg of the 2010 Wilderness On Wheels Overnighter run. More than 50 bikes participated in the 260-mile ride from Evergreen to Grand Lake through Frisco and on to Grant to help raise funds for the Wilderness On Wheels Camp outside Grant, Colorado, on Kenosha Pass. At the run's end, riders were met by another 50 party-goers to kick off a night of fun & merriment on the WOW grounds. Photo by Tim Anderson

There’s a reason you don’t see motorcycles parked in front of a therapists’ office. Riding has always been a form of mental and emotional therapy. And it’s usually cheaper and better for you in the long run.

That’s why about the time Joey Lutz felt the walls closing in he decided it was time to build a new motorcycle. Consider the build process as the initial therapy, and riding it as often as possible as keeping the ol’ noggin’ clear of cobwebs and other extraneous crap.

That, without question, is our kind of mental rejuvenation.

The mountains of the Front Range are open for motorcycles again...after an unusually chilly and moist spring. These riders took the opportunity to play a little hooky on a beautiful late May afternoon and go for a little putt outside Evergreen, Colorado. Riding in the high country has been tricky so far this year, with Mother Nature keeping things cold and wet. But, it seems the summer weather patterns are settling in, so it's time to start rolling up miles and breathing the clean air up high. Photo by Tim Anderson

Back when the Wild West was being settled, railroad locomotives were given the moniker “Iron Horse” by Native Americans who had no other name for the rumbling steel roaring across the prairie.

In a revision over time, “Iron Horse” became a referral to another kind of rumbling steel that roars across the prairie—the two-wheeled kind.

One day, after riding it for several years, Rocco at Chopfather’s Motorcycles on Brighton Boulevard decided that his 1999 Custom Pro-Street was in need of a revision.

Riders in the 17th Annual fallen Brothers Run in Colorado Springs head out through the rain to start the run April 17th. Sponsored by the Sons Of Silence Motorcycle club, the ride has been a staple of the Southern Colorado motorcycle community since 1994, and has become the unofficial spring opener in that part of the state. Cancelling the run due to rain was never an option, as the ride has always been an all weather event, so nearly 100 riders plowed through the wet, and were rewarded with a fine, but damp, after-run party.

Attitude is everything. Project the right attitude, and it says a lot about you.

In this case, this 2009 Pro Street built for Santos Lamori by DJ at Str8 Customs in Arvada oozes attitude. This bike just plain looks like it needs to be movin’ down the road with a devil-may-care aura all around.

It’s got the goods to back that up, too.
