Honoring and appreciating veterans is something some people do only one or two days a year. On the other hand, some people do it every day, and are not afraid to show the way they feel or what they’re all about.

Boomer Kelly is one of the latter.

The former Airborne and field artillery trooper with the US Army has created a rolling tribute to the American Soldier from his 1995 Fat Boy. The FLSTF is now more like an FLSTF-40mm, M79-linked 7.62mm-20mm-pullpin, go boom. Boomer calls it “The Warhog” for short.

It’s the night all the fun-loving creeps and whackos come out for a good time; and on Halloween night, there were few better times to be had than the one at the Buffalo Rose in Golden.

While Kenny the undertaker played master of ceremonies, the rest of us tripped over the One Nightstand while looking at the Erotic Dolls that spun, writhed and danced around the joint. Frankenstein was lurching around, and the Joker kept everyone guessing, and Billy Idol sneered at some old Witch.

If there is a holiday just for the fun-loving biker, it’s Halloween.

This year, just like every year, the Sons Of Silence Motorcycle Club embraced the “official” biker holiday with a great costume party at the clubhouse. O.K., so it’s not an “official” party, but Halloween is still a great excuse to have a good time and throw a hell of a party.

And that’s exactly what happened on Saturday October 25th.

With the sun shining in Conifer and blessed by excellent riding weather, more than 50 bikes started the Mad Dog Custom Cycles Fall Titty Bar Poker Run benefitting the Christmas for Kids program. This run is one of many events held by Mark and Debbie of Maddog to support what has become a very popular and worthy program.

With Sturgis, South Dakota, kind of being the center of the motorcycling universe, it only makes sense that there be bike events held there at times other than during the big August party. It also makes sense that the origins of motorcycling have an event of their own there.

Now, both have happened.

The inaugural Big Gypsie Vintage Cycle Show, Swap & Auction took place at Thunder Road in Sturgis on September 5, 6 & 7, 2008.

It wasn’t hard to miss the party in the parking lot at high Country Harley-Davidson in Frederick, Colorado, north of Denver on September 13 and vehicles passing by on I-25 made that clear—honking and gunning motors as they passed by.

With a Dyno Drag rig, a few tents, and rows and rows of motorcycles surrounding the dealership, it was easy to tell why all the people were milling around the parking lot.

At Mile High Harley-Davidson in Aurora they’re so happy to be around for eight years that they just had to do one of the things they do best—through an 8th anniversary party and open house.

So they did.

Hundreds of motorcycle types made their way over to the dealership on the east side of the Metro Area to enjoy the great weather and company with a couple frosty beverages, a plate of food from the pig roast, live music, maybe a helicopter ride, and of course—motorcycles.

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.

The Bonneville Salt Flats claimed another “addict” last month. Better yet, that “addict” is Colorado Springs, Colorado, resident Jerry Pokorny, and he is now the proud holder of a land speed record.

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