Looks like a great ride Alan!  Wish I could have been there also.

Derek, you are welcome anytime you want to trek down, and ride/stay awhile........

Use caution with all your invites Alan...you may end up getting some visitors! haha!
I wish I could just take off and come back out there.
Sometimes I wish I had the time and resources to take off whenever I felt like it, but then again, I'd most likey never be home!

I haven't ridden the FJ up Mt. Evans yet either, but I did drive the family up there last June on father's Day.

Now that I found my pictures(long story) from last summer's ride through Rocky mt. national Park, I'm tempted to post up a ride report in another post.

I haven't ridden up it either. Drove up it last summer with 2 of my daughters in my mom's convertible, wishing I was on the bike. (then had lunch at Beau Jo's :good:) The alpine slide at Winter Park is a fun place to take the family, too.

We'll be waiting for your report!

Kookaloo!

Nice pics! Thanks for sharing.

I need to ask... is that Corbin seat hard for long rides? I have one on my V-Max and it's hard as a rock.

Yes it is a hard seat, but it is comfortable on long rides.........I don't know how to explain it. It just is................The best way I can say, is that it's like a saddle.. It's not soft, but shaped just right.
They take time to "mold" themselves to your unique shape..
I need to get mine re-covered, but I'm afraid to send it off to them..It would change the feel.

I know exactly what you mean. It's more like sitting in a chair.
