It was a nice day to ride to the Colorado Motorcycle Expo.<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

I went to the Colorado Motorcycle Expo, at the National Western Center, as I frequently do. It seemed to me it just wasn’t as much of a show as it usually is. There didn’t seem to be as many really cool bikes in the display area and whereas I usually shoot a lot of good people pictures, this time the people just didn’t seem as out there as usual. Anyway, here’s what I got.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This was a nice bike, not as gaudy as many of the show bikes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Can’t you just hear this bike growl?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now we’re into the real big-time show bikes. Somebody put a lot of time and effort into this.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Another beauty, with detail worth zooming in on.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

OK, are you really going to ride down the street with pipes an inch off the ground? I doubt it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sometimes being a performer can be a lonely affair. But the show must go on so you just get up there and pretend you’re in front of a stadium full of people.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve been to motorcycle shows around the country and this is really the only one that still harks back to the concept of being a swap meet. You really can buy just about any piece of a motorcycle you happen to be looking for. Although you’ll have more luck finding it if the piece you want goes on a Harley.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Leathers, leathers, boy do we have leathers. And helmets.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Expo is also very much the place if you want patches, and they’ll sew them on right there while you wait.<\/p>\n

Biker Quote for Today<\/h3>\n

If my bike went as fast as the money I spend on it I’d win every race.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
