The much honored Mr. Riepe: Dom is a trusting man and I endeavored to live up to it.

I'll look forward to bobskoot's description of freewheeling in the sidecar.

Dear Mr. Williams:

I am not at all surprised that Dom tossed you the keys to his new V-strom. He is a very generous and considerate individual, who recognizes another dedicated rider. He knew you'd take care of the V-strom.

Then again, I noticed he didn't toss you the keys to the BMW. There are limits. He told me he was going to pull the release, and set the sidecar free on the highway, so he'd finally have an award-winning GoPro project.

Dom must have change his mind, or he's saving that trick for Bobskoot.

Fondest regards,
Jack • reep • Toad

RichardM: Good meeting you too. Had we started talking photography I bet one of us would have taken a picture.

Dom is a good subject. In my next post He'll play a bigger role -- almost a star!

Mike: Thanks for the kind words about the pictures. My beat up old Canon G9 still does a nice job.

A lot of bloggers will be at the BMW event this summer!

More great photos. I really like the "big sky" shots especially the ones in the evening. I like the color of the sky. The one with Dom and the Ural is classic and he really does look like a LEO in that shot.

It was great meeting you and I wish there was more time. Didn't even get a chance to talk photography.

bobskoot: Sidecar Monkey. I've been called worse.

I was surprised how many people asked for money. And how rehearsed they were. One had a whole performance. I felt like clapping.

Charlie6: Denver was a strange and exotic place for this rural Pennsylvania rider. Would have loved to have more time to explore with the camera.

That Enfield seemed perfectly suited for that guy's personality.

The GoPro would have been cool. Especially if I managed to capture the hard work that goes into stopping Natasha at a sudden redlight!

Wonderful post and photos, Steve! It's nice to see your unique style of photography in a different setting.

I can't help but think it would be cool for bloggers to meet in a central location somewhere.

Steve:

Welcome to the BIG city. We also have lots of young people here with "lost" wallets, or cars towed away. They knew you were a visitor.

I'm glad you managed to spend some time together and ride. I think I would be in heaven in the sidecar, it would give me a chance to do more photography while in motion. So now we can call you a Sidecar Monkey

Hi Steve and great posting highlighting Denver and actually making it look, even the graffiti.

That guy on the Enfield sure seemed full of energy, he was quite ecstatic when his motorcycle started after only two kicks!

I should have had you man the GoPro camera on our rides to/from the downtown area in the Ural....would have been cool.
