Heading home from Denver, Colorado

This is a continuation of part one   Here1 and more info here from before.    After staying at the Dom residence for a couple of days relaxing and being part of their extended family,  it was time to move on and head for home.   I can't thank them enough for inviting and hosting me for a couple of days.  It was very nice to see familiar faces while on an extended trip.  (Martha's blog Here2)  It was very nice to be able to access fast WiFi while I was here.

It was August 13th, 2013


and after a nice breakfast (prepared by Dom) he was trying to show me the best way to get out of town and how to avoid all their toll roads but since he was free that morning it was just easier for him to lead the way to I-70 so we said our goodbyes in his garage as we got ourselves packed up and off we went


It was going to be a short half hour ride to the entrance of the freeway so with Dom in the lead, I was content to follow as he was riding Brigitta,  his classic 1987 R80 Beemer (airhead)

It is not often that you can get footage of yourself riding your own bike so here is some rare video of Dom as we head "out of town".   I am only just getting around to editing the last bits of video from my trip last summer.   Its only been 4 months since I was there and it seems like a dream that never happened

    Good video Bob, though boring subject. :)

    It was a good time for us as well, you and Yvonne are always welcome at our home.

      Dom:

      The subject is FAR from boring. He is a true adventurer riding all year round on Valencia his 2WD Ural, but this time leaning on 2 wheels.

      We may show up faster than you thought . . .

      I still have a few left. I just wanted to spread them out a bit so I could post more current things in between. Hard to think that only 4 months ago we were boiling in 100°F heat and sweating in full riding gear. Sort of nice now with cooler weather

    You are right Bob. It is rare to get video of yourself riding your own bike, so that was good of you to film Dom. It is a shame that the wide lens cameras we all tend to use makes a motorcycle just a short distance away look like it is in the next state. To overcome this, you have to ride very close, or alongside the person your are filming, which takes a discussion and agreement beforehand, along with a good dosage of trust, because you will be riding so close.

      Right you are about being closer, but I decided to leave more room to be safer. I really like the one you recorded of ME when you were in Vancouver. I flagged it as a favourite. I really love it. I know we discussed riding position ahead of time and it worked out great
