I'm leaving Thursday 7-30-15 but am trailering to lower souther co before I ride. I have a friend that lives in Westcliffe so that knocks hot Texas off of our ride.

And don't forget your Pirate gear, and take out the baffles in the pipes, guys. Just to make sure you terrorize all the women and children on the way up.

I like the lighter colors because as PJinHouston noted, it's hot in Texas.
Thanks!
