Title: Colorado Fudge/Bullrun Post by: Kawboy on April 24, 2009, 04:25:29 AM Bill Goldgerg ain't got nothing on us!!!!
JJ and I met up with Bonfy in Red River and were looking for a place to get some lunch. Found this little place and got a wild west workout in before lunch. http://s297.photobucket.com/albums/mm203/feckert/Bullrun/?action=view¤t=Gloriasbullride.flv (http://s297.photobucket.com/albums/mm203/feckert/Bullrun/?action=view¤t=Gloriasbullride.flv) Bonfy a rockin and a rollin. Fine form if you ask me!! http://s297.photobucket.com/albums/mm203/feckert/Bullrun/?action=view¤t=JJsbullride.flv (http://s297.photobucket.com/albums/mm203/feckert/Bullrun/?action=view¤t=JJsbullride.flv) JJ putting the Ducati leathers to good use. Stay tuned. More to come. Title: Re: Colorado Fudge/Bullrun Post by: hunkypunk on April 24, 2009, 08:56:29 AM GLORIA YOU ARE WILD!
NICE LAUGH KAWBOY Title: Re: Colorado Fudge/Bullrun Post by: bonfy on April 24, 2009, 10:24:03 AM Oh my God! I don't know how long it had been since I laughed that hard. We had such a good time. We all geared up for our turn on the bull. I'll bet that was a first for that guy running it.
Here's a few shots I got: Here's Kawboy doing what he does best: (http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc120/bonfygloria/fudgerun/th_100_7607.jpg) (http://s216.photobucket.com/albums/cc120/bonfygloria/fudgerun/?action=view¤t=100_7607.flv) Here are the guys after the mechanical bull session, both with a new appreciation of rodeo-ers: (http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc120/bonfygloria/fudgerun/100_7608.jpg) Kawboy and JJ in front of Blanca, Ellingwood, and Little Bear: (http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc120/bonfygloria/fudgerun/000_0111.jpg) Kawboy at the pump: (http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc120/bonfygloria/fudgerun/000_0110.jpg) JJ at the pump: (http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc120/bonfygloria/fudgerun/000_0109.jpg) The guys up in Bishop's Castle: (http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc120/bonfygloria/fudgerun/000_0108.jpg) The Fudgerun Trio at Colorado City: (http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc120/bonfygloria/fudgerun/000_0107.jpg) The Roadrunner is ready to fly over La Veta Pass: (http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc120/bonfygloria/fudgerun/000_0106.jpg) Your basic fuelstop: (http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc120/bonfygloria/fudgerun/100_7616.jpg) And the last morning before the guys took off: (http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc120/bonfygloria/fudgerun/000_0105.jpg) What a great trip! Thanks for including me! (http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc120/bonfygloria/fudgerun/th_100_7641.jpg) (http://s216.photobucket.com/albums/cc120/bonfygloria/fudgerun/?action=view¤t=100_7641.flv) Title: Re: Colorado Fudge/Bullrun Post by: Scottish on April 24, 2009, 10:27:58 AM [laugh] Oh you made me pee that was so funny. Bonfy that reminded me of in front of King Sooper as a kid. It looked like you were waiting for someone to put a penny in the ride. [laugh] JJ gotta work on your form. lol
Oh more came up while I was posting.... that last video of JJ and Fred leaving was cool, you could see them go warp speed. Title: Re: Colorado Fudge/Bullrun Post by: bonfy on April 24, 2009, 10:40:39 AM There's a reason the guy told us to keep the knees clinched to the bull, more so for the guys than the gals. JJ found out the hard way on the very first buck. He looked like a limp ragdoll from that point on and the rest of that ride was a blur he said..sad, but kind of funny when you keep that in mind while viewing.
Title: Re: Colorado Fudge/Bullrun Post by: kingbaby on April 24, 2009, 12:21:47 PM That made my day. It's the simple things. Dusty & I were not happy that we had to miss the ride.
JJ, I thought you had taken a Valium & washed it down with Scotch. But nooooow i get it...Dick punch Ouch ! Same result without the fun :o I think we may have just witnessed Bonfys next profession. I think Mouse & Dusty should be pullin' into Colo Springs in the next couple of hours. LOCK YOUR DOOR BONFY. After that, and a weekend at DDGM's, we should expect some crazy pics in the next few days. Title: Re: Colorado Fudge/Bullrun Post by: Kawboy on April 24, 2009, 09:40:37 PM NICE LAUGH KAWBOY Yea, it does kind of detract from the moment. Couldn't help it though. That's why I'm not in Hollywood making movies for millions. Title: Re: Colorado Fudge/Bullrun Post by: Kawboy on April 24, 2009, 10:05:13 PM Here we go. More pics.

Title: Re: Colorado Fudge/Bullrun Post by: bonfy on April 25, 2009, 10:47:49 AM That is a good one. I really like the one of Kawboy sitting on his bike ready to go over La Veta Pass, too. And speaking of breaking the sound barrier, it was a rarity if I even saw or heard those guys on the majority of the trip. They took off like bats out of hell at every opportunity, this pissing Lance right the hell off since he was stuck on the slow bike with moi. I really should have let him ride with both of them for awhile. That would've stopped his snivelling. [laugh]

And we had to work at it too. :P ;) There are quite a few like that. Just getting the best shots of you in. Had to pan pretty fast to keep from blurring them. [thumbsup] Title: Re: Colorado Fudge/Bullrun Post by: Count Desmo on April 26, 2009, 06:47:32 AM Awesome stuff, guys!
Man, the last time I was at Bishop's Castle, Mr. Bishop was still working on that long staircase in the last pic. Guess it's been a while! Glad to see you all getting some saddle time in! [moto] Title: Re: Colorado Fudge/Bullrun Post by: bonfy on April 26, 2009, 07:57:40 AM It would've been great to have you along, Count, also, Dusty and KB, if they could've made it, plus, of course, any of the gang. Things were a little different at the fudge store though. We were saddened by the news that the owner's wife had passed away and in his grief, he has not resumed the candy-making operation without her.
Bishop's Castle was insane. It looked like something out of a horror flick. My head was already banging so I knew I wasn't going up in that thing, but plus I have my suspicions it probably wasn't buit to code. I heard there is a tragic history to the place. I didn't get a warm IZ_ there. But the riding was phenomenal getting to it. That Texas Creek run south of Hwy 50 over by Silvercliff is my new territory to explore. I plan on spending some time camping and soaking that up. You (http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc120/bonfygloria/fudgerun/000_0106-1.jpg) WOULD NOT (http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc120/bonfygloria/fudgerun/000_0107-1.jpg) catch me dead climbing around in that deathtrap...(without a rope) [cheeky] (http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc120/bonfygloria/fudgerun/000_0105-1.jpg) Title: Re: Colorado Fudge/Bullrun Post by: Dusty on April 27, 2009, 09:01:19 AM Nice shots! Last time I was there was about two years ago, so I too see a lot of change in the photos from when I visited. I agree with you Bonfy, fun riding to get there. I have a feeling KB and I will be riding up to Colorado a lot this summer since you are there and DDGM is just two minutes from Coal Creek Canyon. [clap]
Title: Re: Colorado Fudge/Bullrun Post by: bonfy on April 27, 2009, 10:10:29 AM I told Kawboy and JJ I'd hide a spare key in the backyard so if they are ever in the area, they always have a place to hang in between canyon carving. I'll leave a tent out there, too, in case the place is already filled up. Same goes for Dusty, KB, Ducmouse, HP, and all you ducatisti from out of state.
Title: Re: Colorado Fudge/Bullrun Post by: Dusty on April 27, 2009, 10:14:33 AM You ROCK!!! [thumbsup] [moto]
Title: Re: Colorado Fudge/Bullrun Post by: bonfy on April 27, 2009, 12:40:51 PM Out-of-state, in-state, it doesn't matter, all are welcome. Would love to see Zaster, Pam, Godec, and some of the ones I haven't even met yet venture this way.
Title: Re: Colorado Fudge/Bullrun Post by: JJ on May 05, 2009, 08:25:31 AM Alright time for some updates, I'm a bit late as I got hooked up on another work trip to MI barely 30 minutes past my big 4600miles trip to NM and CO, 1500 of which were happy riding miles on the Duc in 3-4 days! [thumbsup]

Ten years ago the visual that your remarks brought to mind would not have struck me with such hilarity. ;) Hell, two years ago! Maybe it's the religious right atmosphere of this town crushing my head, crushing my head!!!!!!!! Sad, but true...how time passes when you're having fun... What's that song?

Title: Re: Colorado Fudge/Bullrun Post by: bonfy on May 05, 2009, 09:29:17 PM I guess I could scrounge up a belt buckle and some cash to make it interesting. Never had anyone make it that far. Lance runs the bull. If it was that easy, they'd all be doing it. ;D
