Welcome to the colorado springs area. You will love the riding in the Rockies. If you are looking for places to live, there are planty of them around. It all depends what you are looking for of course and the price tag you are willing to pay (of course). We have two local Harley Davidson shops and a very nice HOG association that does alot. Of course we have a few riding clubs associated with our area (some good some not so good depending on your tastes). But having the Rockies in your back yard is the most important riding point I can make. Again, welcome to the Springs area. If you want more info, PM me. I will be more than willing to answer any questions you have. Later Gator, Remi

Same here dude. 6th generation Colorado Springs native. Let me know if you need any info, etc. I won't tell you where to live, as that is dependent upon your income, preference, whatever, but I can certainly tell you where NOT to live.


PS - Where are you coming from? I ride with 3-5 guysstationed there.

Holy crap! All of a sudden Ft. Carson/Colorado Springs folks come flying out of the woodwork! I'll be back at the end of April for about a week. If the weather is good and the timing is right, we should get our own little HDF Ft. Carson/C.S. ride going?

Just got to Peterson myself. Looking forward to riding once my bike gets here. I'll be using it to commute to work, too, to save on gas $$. Lived on base at my last duty station, 1.25 miles from work!

If riding to work, always be prepared for Colorado afternoon rain storms. Some summers we get very few, other summers we get them almost everyday. They can last 15 minutes to an hour and it will drop the temp from 90 to75 in a real hurry. Just remember to have your gear.
