In un-winter-like weather, with a few cars but lots of motorcycles in the parking lot, the American Iron MC of Colorado Springs held their “Winter Sucks Pig Roast” at Shovelheads Saloon in Fountain on Sunday, Jan 17th.

This is the fourth year for this event, and it was the first event of it’s kind in the Colorado Springs area in 2010.

“This party just points out that winter sucks,” Reaper said. “It gives us a reason to have a party, brings everyone together, and, of course, raise some funds for the club.”

Christmas is a magical time. Snow blankets everything. Twinkling lights are everywhere. The smell of gingerbread, peppermint and spiced wine fills the air. It is a time when much of the world pauses for a peaceful moment to reflect—except for kids.

The year-long effort to collect toys, clothing and cash to help provide Christmas gifts for area kids who might not otherwise have a very Merry Christmas will come to its apex December 19 when all the good stuff collected by Debbie’s Doin’s will be distributed at a holiday party.

“This is what we work all year for,” said Debbie Lavalee, who runs the gift collection program. “It looks like we’ll be sponsoring about 50 children this year, maybe a few more since we have a couple events happening before the 19th.”

Colorado is almost a year-round riding state. Almost.

Every once in a while the best laid plans fall victim to the weather Gods. And in Colorado Springs, when that happens, motorcyclists have no choice but to suck it up and keep on riding…especially when kids are counting on them.

As one of the oldest motorcycle clubs in Colorado, the Suns Of Darkness have had a consistent presence in Denver. The Denver club marked 38 years in November, so, naturally, they had too mark the occasion.

There’s only one way the Suns Of Darkness know how to do that.

The club once again open up its Williams Street clubhouse to everyone for another great party in a long list of great parties the club has hosted.

The holidays can get pretty hectic…with all the parties and yuletide greetings and all that.

That’s why Bob Holloway at Bushwackers Saloon on South Broadway decided that Wednesday November 18 was a good night to have a customer appreciation and Holiday party.

Christmas came a few weeks early for Tim Seaman of Arvada, Colorado.

Seaman was the winner of the 2009 Golden Lions Club Harley Raffle Friday, November 27 at the buffalo Rose in Golden. He is now the proud owner of a 2009 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy (FLSTFi), which is set apart from all others by a custom paint job from Gunslinger Paint.

The Colorado Motorcycle Show and swap held each year at the National Western Stock Show Complex has inspired a lot of imitators over the 31years the show has been going, but none of those copy-cats has been able to measure up to the original.

It doesn’t look like any of them will catch up this year, either.

The 32nd Annual Colorado Motorcycle Show and Swap is slated for January 30th and 31st, 2010, at the National Western Complex, with a full compliment of motorcycles, accessories and activities on tap.

School's never out when you're a student of the "old school."
Just ask Tony Scott. His journey with this 1973 "Chopster" began in 1983.
Tony originally bought the 1973 XLCH Sportster in 1983, and after a about a year of riding around Denver, he fell victim to the mess that is city traffic. Tony was hit by a car, and both he and the Sporty suffered nasty injuries.
While recuperating from a broken knee and head injuries, Tony had a lot of time to think about what he was going to do with what was left of his bike.
