Some DEMC guys and I went up Golden Gate Canyon on Saturday, April 2nd. Once we got to the top the Sherif was close to follow, three trucks worth. They let us know, in no-uncertain terms, that they are gunning for us (motorcycle riders) this season. She, the Sherif, did not get the speed gun on us but was preparing to write all eight of us tickets anyway until one guy in our group said the right things and smoothed everything out. She was not a happy public servant and her tone was decidedly different than the other times we have been pulled over in Gilpin County.
The Sherif mad it sound like that it was a priority to stop and ticket any and all motorcycle exceeding the speed limit and what we might have gotten away with before in the past would not be tolerated this year.
I don't want to go into the "forbidden" cop talk on the forum, but you all are very familiar with my encounter with Gilpin County's finest last summer.
My opinion is that Golden Gate Canyon is Closed to motorcycles. :'(
just want to point out...."exceeding the speed limit" has always been enough to put one at risk.
just because you are used to getting away with something, doesn't mean you have should have an expectation, or a right, to get away with it in the future.
just say'in..
herm,
I wanted to thank you for adding absolutely no value to this thread.
I am positive, without a doubt, that everyone here understands the risk of "exceeding the speed limit".
You have taken one local motorcyclist attempting to give the "heads up" to other local motorcyclist. Some of which might find the information helpful.
Your statement about "having an expectation, or a right, to get away with it in the future" make you sound like a grumpy old man that has nothing better to do than scold others.
I went back and read some of your posts, you are a crap starter, aren't you.
Just say'in.
He is a grumpy old man.
Just sayin'.

Gilpin county has always been a motorcycle LEO danger zone. I just stay away. 119 and golden gate will always have cops looking for us.
