Trout Poisoning???

Burp!

"Rainbow Poisoning" -- We're camped out at 8,000 feet, Colorado Rockies north of Durango-Cortez, & the fish are biting like there's no tomorrow. Just this morning, caught a limit of ten beautiful rainbow trout, one almost 13 inches in length. This is one place to go if you don't like fishing and not catching. It don't get any better.

Brrrrr!!!!

Man, does it get cold up in 'dem there hills... 39 degrees yesterday morning, with snow warnings for Telluride & the even higher (11,000 foot) elevations.. frost on the bike every morning.. even the down to 30 degree sleeping bag isn't worth much when your nose & ears are frost-bit, but at 14 bucks a night? Right on a trout-infested stream? We're there, dude!

Rally-Time, Again?

Yes! What's been known as the "Four Corners Rally", and a courtroom brawl between the local "Ute" Indian tribe vs local ranchers still can't hold this one down. This area probably has the best riding of anywhere in the world. The million dollar highway, north of Durango, US route 160, all of the mountains with thousands of miles of dirt roads & trails, and yes, all of this less than 100 mi from Monument Valley, & the desert floor. Put this one on your list of places to see!

Sturgis Look-Back..

The Location: Main Street, Sturgis, South Dakota.
The Place: Loud American Roadhouse Bar
The Incident: Hells Angel (allegedly) Shoots it out with member of "Iron Pigs", a law-enforcement MC club. Angel goes to hospital. Cop (or former cop, we don't know...) walks. (how's that work--? If it were you or me, we'd be in the slammer!!)

All in all, Sturgis has been pretty quiet since the Custer shootout between the Hells Angels & the Outlaw MC clubs a couple yrs back, so it's comforting to see that things are returning to "biker normal". Sorry I didn't post this sooner, but like I said, the trout are biting!

ABM is looking for a home to stay in during the big labor day rally here in the four corners, and is currently working on press passes in order that we can bring you all of the action from this great up & comming biker blast!

Keep checking back... 'cause every once in a while we clean up the worm guts & find a nice comfy wi-fi spot. Gotta go now... got icy Coronas & 14 Rainbows to fry!
