Like many people, the choice made for my first motorcycle was dictated by factors other that what I wanted. But I never dreamed of the impact that decision would make on me.

Everyone loves a stripper, right?

That thought launched what has become the best backyard party ever—Stripperpalooza.

The 3rd Annual Stripperpalooza party happened July at Mike & Lynn’s place in Denver, and, as expected, it was a rowdy good time. More than 500 people filled the backyard, and left more than 100 bikes parked on the street and front yard while they showed appreciation for of the world’s most valuable professions.

Benny’s on W Colorado Ave in Colorado Springs was a much busier than normal the morning of Sunday July 25th. The 8th Annual Teller County Regional Animal Shelter (TCRAS) Hawgs for Hounds run was ramping up for a fun-filled ride through the mountains. Doc, the cook at Benny’s, got there bright and early to prepare breakfast for the more than 125 participants. Benny’s not only provided the starting point for the run, but the gorgeous, tall, bikini clad Jamie was handing out free drink chips to everyone who wanted ‘em.

Wheels were turning on June 26th to make sure some other wheels were turning, too.

The Ninth Annual Wilderness On Wheels Ride, sponsored by Maddog Custom Cycles in Conifer, Colorado, put almost 70 riders on mountain roads, rolling up more than a few miles to generate a little cash for Wilderness On Wheels.

July 17th was a perfect night for motorcycles, so it’s a good thing Sun Harley-Davidson had planned their annual Bike Nite and Bike Show for that particular Saturday evening.

The parking lot was packed with bikes of all kinds, and the people who ride and appreciate them. Some were there to show off their pride and joy, while others were there to admire, ask questions, and have a little fun.

Colorado Springs, you had me fooled.

My friend Frank and I took our first trip to Colorado Springs to attend the 10th Annual Tejon Street Bike Fest on June 27 in downtown Colorado Springs. And it was awesome.

Now, I’m not a biker. But, I have riders in the family, and I know how to enjoy a good time, and being kind of new to the state, I didn’t know what to expect in a city somewhat notorious for its ultraconservative politics.

You know it’s really summertime when the Buffalo Rose Poker Run rolls around.

It’s always a good time at the Buff, but the annual poker run is always just a little more fun for some reason. This year marked the 10th Annual Charity Poker Run, and this year, like last year, they went a little different direction with the charity. The funds collected by the event went to the Colorado Horse Protection League.

Riders at the Ninth Annual Realities Ride & Rally didn’t just show up for the 75-degree weather and cloudless skies in Loveland. They showed up to do something positive…and they showed up by the thousands.

“We’ve been doing this since its first year,” said Ken Love of Longmont, who rode into the rally in Fort Collins with his wife, Mary. “It’s a great cause.”
