Which passes did you ride? I was out there last year. Monarch and Red Mountain are my faves.

The big passes were Wolf Creek -two ways, Poncha pass, La Veta pass and then several smaller passes that I don't recall the names.

Here is the waterfall along the side of Wolf creek Pass.

Wow! Must have blown right by that. Wolf Creek Pass is on US 160, correct?

I was out to your country couple weeks ago, Jim. Rode my R65 from Wisconsin to Montrose, CO via Kansas. After a week at relatives I went up to Fort Collins to check the beer scene. Sure is pretty country. I went over Monarch there and back tho Independence had been recommended, I decided not to try it 'cuz the beemer was having some 'issues'. Wish I had had time to see where all your magic is done... Next time.

What size sprocket do you run?

I noticed that with my current 21 tooth sprocket that I am doing ~ 70mph @ 4000 rpms and ~ 80mph @ 5000 rpms (with a 19 inch back wheel) which seems well under the red line, but it is a bit buzzy.

I run a belt drive front and rear. It is geared very tall.

4133 rpm at 80 mph.

6200 rpm at 120. Jim
