We're still riding through Colorado and today we rode from Carbondale to Frisco and in the process we went over Independence Pass. Wow! It equalled the "Million Dollar Highway" in beauty and in my opinion was a bit more technical to ride do the more narrow roadway and tighter turns. Everyone should put this ride on their must ride list.

To Everyone, Just want to put the word out that Hollister Rally has been cancelled by the Hollister city council due to high cost for law enforcement ( $300,000.00) , which really isn't needed Sturgis doesn't even pay half that . A little history about Hollister Ca. , In 1947 a bunch of bikers ( 3 to 4 dozen ) were partying and racing there bikes in downtown Hollister . The news media of course made it sound and look worst then it was and Hollywood was inspired to make a movie about it ( The Wild Bunch ). In 1996 a few citizens decide to organize a Motorcycle Rally on 4th of July weekend , well by 2005 the Hollister Independence Rally had attendance of 120,000 bikes attend for the 3 day weekend. The Hollister Independence Rally became the largest Motorcycle rally in the West Coast . The town of Hollster is a good town and a biker town but it has several problems the city council and local law enforcement they don't like bikers or bike rallies . So in closing the town of Hollister has lost a great rally ,but bikers will still come on 4th of July because of the history and the spirit . If any of you have been to the Hollister Independence Rally you kow what I mean . Take Care, Silverbac
