Baltimore, MD - Keystone, CO Route

[Lion_Lady]

Well. All I've got "routed" on Google is a collection of "known" gas/hotel stops, and a couple restaurants. It isn't so much a route as an assortment of points... Should make it easier to sketch out a route (and options) later.

I've found that I can have more flexibility if I don't store a "route" in the GPS, just the important points. I figure that if I were to try to store the entire route, I'd need to buy another memory card for my 276C.

I heard something about non-stock pipes getting your bike impounded in Denver. Not an issue for me, but I'm wondering if this is something to consider?

Well, I do ride a BMW... stock exhaust. (I did take OFF the muffler for a short time, but the bike listed to the other side without it).

This is a city ord. only in Denver and not effecting the suburbs. Other than excessive loud bikes (which is covered under State regulation but seldom enforced) The EPA exhaust ord. makes any after market exhaust on post 80 bikes (not epa approved and a few are illegal in Denver regardless of noise emitted) This is used only by the LEOs as an excuse to hassle sport bikers and 1%ers, who may otherwise be completely legal. (it is cited primarily as a probable cause for an otherwise illegal traffic stop--- In other words police harassment and profiling, otherwise it they would adopt same ord. for all motor vehicles not just motorcycles)

Please note that this ord. has been challenged at the Colo. Supreme Court, motion filed but court has not yet decided to hear. The main basis for this is that it singles out motorcycle exhaust and not auto exhausts like the "TUNER" cars with spam can mufflers. In other words it discriminates against motorcycles.
