I decided to drudge up this bike thread because it's the middle of winter and if you can't ride bikes might as well post about them on the internet! Back in college I had a professor tell a story about a KZ1000 that he "did the outside loop on" nearly prematurely ending his flying career and...

Denver Pilot nailed it. I looked into this 20 years ago and even talked to someone from one ministry at our University's career expo. They had a HARD requirement for the A&P as well as physical fitness, not just ability to obtain an FAA 2nd class but haul heavy/bulky items for long distances...

Yeah I should've said there IS cheap land in this state and believe it or not the San Luis valley is one of the cheapest places to buy land in the US (that's actually livable). It's just not many people want to live in such a remote place. Like you said 1hr to Pueblo and close to 2 if you need...

Colorado is full :D, haha not really but have you looked at Real Estate prices here? And the airparks are going to be on the plains (pretty hot in the Summer) not in the Mountains where it's cool. Erie Airpark's current cheapest lot is $800K! Compare that with existing homes at airparks in...

Wow it's been one heck of a Journey so far with that RV! Like any older vehicle there's bound to be surprises but once you get all the kinks ironed out it, it should treat you well. It's nice to see all the sides of RV ownership not just the glamor shot with it parked overlooking some National...

The good news is the woman is 100% on board with moving up to WY; it's just the commute would be horrendous in a car (although doable). We took our son up to Laramie for his 3rd birthday for skiing at the Snowy Range and as much as I love Laramie the wind is just brutal in the winter (doubtful...

Anyone Regularly Commute to work with their plane Along Colorado's Front Range? I'm curious because we're talking about moving from Colorado to Wyoming (Gov Polis passing certain laws recently is the main driver for wanting to leave CO). I work next to the Boulder Airport and while we do have...

Step 1: Go get a 2nd Class medical and your Student Pilot Certificate before you do anything else. Then go for your intro flight and pursue the Private I'd recommend doing a structured Part 141 school. I'd also recommend going to visit a Helicopter school early in your training and get a Helio...

I definitely feel the same way about #2, and slightly less now than I used to be about a "Youtuber" mainly because today inorder to make 1 good video a week you have to spend a lot of time editing. YouTube once was a nice place for the average person to host a video they made that was a clip or...

It's on my list to ride it, probably only the Western half (as I'm already in Colorado). Sam made it easier recently by changing it up with more Utah and less Nevada. There's 2 routes GPSKevin's and Sam Coero (sp?) anyway Sam is the Original creator and people have had no issues with his maps...

Unfortunately the bad actors stand out! I do have to say as an avid motorcyclist I've witnessed a lot of the behaviors of the OP's rant (other than that weird traffic directing), and the sad thing is the pirates and squids make up probably more than half of the riders, but you don't notice the...

10% :eek: That's insultingly low. The difference is the Lineman makes at least minimum wage at least $7.25/hr (probably a couple bucks more) while a server might only get paid $2.13 per hour, if everyone tipped just 10% service would be atrocious, 15-20% is more the norm for tipping a server...

If you guys haven't seen it yet check out "Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage" on Netflix a very well documentary on the band. I don't think anyone would argue that Peart was the greatest Rock n Roll drummer of all time.

I've flown nearly ever iteration of the 172 from the OG 1956 to the 1999 SP picture below when it was nearly new at Epic at EVB and the SP was far superior to even the R model it succeeded. Better everything; interior, avionics, power (180 vs 160) and I swear even quieter than its'...

It’s all about the editing. I believe he uses a professional editor to edit his videos and they are made in a way to get views. His videos are NOT boring and safe is boring even if his flying around s 100% safe a little perceived danger makes things interesting. So many aviation videos are...
