I’ve noticed a very surprising thing recently, which is that there is almost a total dearth of motorcycle events going on in Colorado in April. Ever since I put this website up more than 6 years ago I have listed upcoming events on my Rides and Rallies page<\/a> and this is the first time that I have had to search and search and search to find anything at all to list for April.<\/p>\n

\"Rocky<\/a>

The Rocky Mountain Motorcycle Museum is celebrating its 20th anniversary.<\/strong><\/p><\/div>I did finally find one event, and it’s a good one. It’s something that needs to get more publicity. The Rocky Mountain Motorcycle Museum<\/a> is celebrating its 20th anniversary with a big open house on Saturday, April 21, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. They’ll have a small lunch buffet from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., they’ll be handing out door prizes, and there will be a bike show if the weather permits.<\/p>\n

If you’ve never been to the museum you really do need to get down there. Actually, I need to get down there because I haven’t been back to it since they moved into larger quarters. They used to be in the small building just in front of Pikes Peak Harley-Davidson, but now they have moved inside the dealership and have more space.<\/p>\n

The place was great before, so I have to assume it is even better now. Jerry Manka is the director and curator and trust me, Jerry is as much an attraction as the bikes. He’s a character.<\/p>\n

And oh, the bikes! They definitely have some nice ones. A lot of Indians and old Harleys plus a bunch more.<\/p>\n

Of course, the last part of the complete name is “and Hall of Fame.” I’m betting the Hall of Fame gets a bit more space now than was possible before.<\/p>\n

So April 21 would be a good day to go, but if you don’t go then, go some other time. It’s worth it. You won’t be sorry.<\/p>\n

Biker Quote for Today<\/h3>\n

I like my bike because I can overtake 4x4s down farm tracks with a week’s worth of shopping on the back.<\/p>\n
