There are months that you are glad they are behind you, and for me March 2019 came in with a bang! We had a record snow blizzard, record cold temperatures and you just weren’t sure whether to light the fire and hibernate for another month, or to open the windows and enjoy that spring has arrived.

Everyone who rides a motorcycle on our roads should be prepared with some basic supplies in case they ever become injured or stranded. But, while it’s easy to pack a bunch of first aid supplies and emergency gear into a car, bikers have to downsize a lot, which is hard!

It is a well-known fact that the general public doesn’t watch for motorcycles no matter how many billboards CDOT puts up or lighted signs that are only up a few days in May or in August during Sturgis. It is a well-known fact that most motorcycle accidents involve a car and/or some sort of distracted driving. Our riding community continues to be the victim of irresponsible drivers who are out driving with no driver’s license and little to no insurance and driver’s leaving accident victims on the ground and leaving the scene.

For several months Colorado Rider News promoted the Colorado Mammoth’s Military Appreciation Night. My father- in-law is a Vietnam veteran, as well as my son-in-law is active military and I don’t think there is ever enough military appreciation nights. Well the Mammoth and Pepsi center knows how to honor their military and throw a party. Even if you weren’t a fan of Lacrosse or had never been to a Mammoth game, it was a fun filled evening of entertainment and fast- moving Lacrosse.

Last month I covered hearing and tinnitus and the damage loud noises can have on your hearing.
This month, I had the pleasure of riding with Will and Marie Cornell last season. They are both deaf, and they love to ride. Will brought his other friends who were also deaf to a Cool Biker Lunch and Ride event. They are all fun people; although it was a little difficult to communicate with them, we all seemingly understood each other. They use the American Sign Language (ASL) and some can talk.

Biker’s in Colorado are very fortunate to have motorcycle towing companies such as Munky Mark who owns Motorcycle Transport Specialists. Munky has long been known as Colorado’s #1 motorcycle towing company.
