claine650 Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 (edited) Well I moved to Denver about 4 weeks ago and figured I'd throw up a few pictures because it's a beautiful place and the entire move has been absolutely perfect for me. Got a good job the second week here that I already enjoy more than my last job in Ohio.Work in a very nice machine shop running a few CNC MillsHave seriously great roads only 20 Minutes away. Haven't even touched a fraction of them all yet, but will soon.I rented Uhaul's smallest enclosed trailer a 4x8 which fit my bike, an filled the rest of the way with boxes and a large flat screen. Was the perfect set up to pull with my jeep.didn't have to put anything inside except the dogs, they sure we're comfy...The drive took 22 hours, did it in 19 hours 2 years ago in my eclipse, so we made good time considering I was towing.Took a few days getting settled in and unpacked, then I took a short jaunt over to red rocks amphitheater, been there before, but never got to ride up on my bike. It's beautiful. Have gone on a few more good mountain road rides, but was having too much fun to stop an take pictures.Every saturday morning we've gone hiking different places, love being able to do that now so easily.Colorado Springs to visit a friend I went to high school with.http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06/16/eb23cdc91a2a1f0bf168d5e1c781692e.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06/16/0bc8285ab060a2100a05add143b466a0.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06/16/e937ef4f220b37afbc14379e05db45e6.jpgBoulder colorado...http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06/16/5df8659b22974ee61768e3e06239586b.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06/16/f9b08cfbf9bc5f8f5ef77cb7b7dcf1f9.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06/16/db365c0725c87bea3eab61a5dcb828b6.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06/16/c782cbb7533d2b2d1d6b5a56308b56c5.jpgGolden colorado...http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06/16/a56021a46febbc85c581fbb19e733243.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06/16/ebd37f5954da51907ffb3383525bead2.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06/16/85375d554bb39203a1a6c73c8f4f38ec.jpgThat's all for now... hope you enjoy the pictures [emoji4] Edited June 16, 2015 by claine650 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomcat0403 Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 I just got back from Black Mountain Ranch in McCoy, CO (bout 3 hrs NW of Denver). It changed my perspective on a lot of things, best vacation of my life and I will go back there hopefully in the near future. That state is beautiful and the people I met and the things I did really made me wonder if we could make the move out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Chad: Congratulations on your success in your career and the relocation. You are at Ground Zero for recreational opportunities in the continental US!!! I've made many trips to the central western region--skiing, MTBing, hiking and camping, MCing--and every time I get out there, I swear to myself I'm gonna live there…."some day"…. I could spend days perusing the roads on GoogleMap planning out an epic route. My last trip was headquartered in the Silverton area where a bud and I rode all the high pass routes--Mosquito, Engineer, Cinnamon, Ophir, Black Bear, Imogene, Cottonwood, Hurricane, Corkscrew. When you get settled, start looking for a DS bike or even better, a true dirty bike (that's road legal) and start exploring and having fun. Keep us po' OR folks back in Ohio in the loop with pics. Oh, BTW, your dogs are gonna be in 7th heaven, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last we spoke you were in indy, I see you've been machining some cool stuff, if you ever want to expand your product line my SV is free for R&D, or better yet if you ever get to the point of needing another machinist talk to me!Chad: Congratulations on your success in your career and the relocation.

I'll definitely be picking up a second bike when I can in the near future, most likely a good trail bike I can ride on street if needed like you've mentioned. Can always tote one around with my jeep too. If you're ever back out here let me know.Enjoy the Hippie Lettuce.I wish I could, did last year on vacation (great shit), not a good idea to keep a good job here tho.

Bubba Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 I've been to CO many times during all seasons, and I'm conflicted as to where I'd want to settle: eastern slope or western slope? Eastern slope: Good = greener, more scenic….bad = more crowded, mo' money Western slope: Good = fewer people, cheaper….bad = resembles UT to a great extent, i.e., giant sand box/gravel pit. The area in/around the San Juan NF is pretty, but I know less about the SW part of the state. Anyone spent some time there or lived in that area?

Career and life took me a different direction.Leadville is a very cool little town. Visited there last year and had lunch at the diner. Definitely takes you back to a simpler time of living.

claine650 Posted June 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 Went down to performance cycle 10 min down the road from me to get a new base plate for my helmet, second time I've broke one... glad they're cheap. Gotta say though, the shop is awesome, it's huge and has tons of stuff. Basically everything I could need, will be going back their for tires/mounting soon..Oh, and they also had a new H2R right as I walked in to give me a boner, such a beautiful machine, a caged beast.
