I've ridden (and driven) Colorado's roads and trails several times over the years. As a lifelong flat-lander I'm never disappointed with their scenic beauty, varied topography and fun factor. But they can surprise with unexpected weather, be clogged with traffic, and a road closure can force you hundreds of miles out of your way. But, if you get yourself away from the most-traveled areas, there's often a chance of finding open road. The southwest part of the state, for example, boasts the San Juan mountain range and its famous Million Dollar Highway (550) and the roughly parallel highway 145. These roads typify Colorado's best.
A recent post from Cody Hicks on the Facebook forum, Honda VFR Riders USA and Canada, provided a few photos of a recent ride near Silverton, CO. His VFR800 with aftermarket pipes echoing off the canyon walls is the perfect tool for enjoying a blue-sky day in Colorado.
