New Bike, how long do I have to ride without registering?

I bought (private sale) a motorcycle in Cheyenne WY and have had it for a week. So far I’ve only ridden it from point of purchase and back home. I travel for work so I’ve had no time to hit the dmv to get temp tags or anything, as I’ve only been one on the weekend.

I feel like tomorrow is one of the last nice weather days to ride, and I want to go to a bike meet. Am I allowed to ride a bike that has an out of state title without having temp tags, or is illegal? I’m very scared to get in trouble, I don’t want to break the law. But everything I read online says I have anywhere between 30-90 days to register or get temp tags, while other places say I can’t ride anywhere after the first 36 hours without getting temp tags.

Please link your sources so I can read further please. Thank you!

News Misinforming Public about Filtering

So I've seen a couple news snippets on channels here in Colorado that talk about lane filtering and I wanted to share how frustrating and scary it is they are misinforming the public what is and is not permissible.

For example, a recent one had a news caster saying motorcycles can only pass on the left and it can only happen at stop lights.

This is wicked dangerous because it misinforms car drivers who then vigilante the situation. At least once a week someone tries to actually hit me while legally filtering.

Just frustrated.

Thoughts?

Edit: Getting a lot of people saying you can't pass on the right. The department and news stations are saying you can't pass on the right. None of them are talking about how you can if you are on a limited Access highway and it is not the breakdown lane. Off the top of my head, the definition of limited access highway tells me a significant number of our roads allow passing on the right.

Here's the language: https://leg.colorado.gov/bills/sb24-079

May get some late season mountain riding this weekend, anyone want to join?

Looking to ride the Snowy Range up in Med Bow before 130 closes for the season. Most likely Saturday.

Bringing stuff for a little cook fire mid-afternoon at one of the picnic sites up on top before heading back down.

Denver Honda Dealer

First time buyer looking at a Honda CRF300L Rally with ABS.

I’m guessing that on an entry level bike like this, the price is the basically the same regardless of dealer you buy it from.

Does the dealer even matter? Anyone have a recommendation for Denver area Honda dealer?

Get out and enjoy this weather while it lasts...

Did a rip up coal creek canyon yesterday and had a fun ride along with a stranger all the way from 6th Ave and Wads to the top of the canyon. Pretty funny coincidence that we were both going the same way that far.

(Also found out that a triumph 1200 doesn't hold it's own against the little 821ugly Duc either.)

Saw a fatality today

Pretty sure he was gone. People were standing by him, but no one bothered to render aid.

Westbound I-70 at the Havana off ramp. Bike was balled up and he was laying next to an earthmover. Looks like he may have misjudged the ramp, exited the road, and struck the bulldozer at speed. Can’t find any news about it.

Looking for 1 or 2 volunteer moderators for this subreddit

So it's about time that our little subreddit finally get some extra eyes, ears, and thumbs to keep this group going. It's grown some much in the last year, and even with more auto moderation coming soon I could definitely use the help. Honestly all of you are very well behaved (Wich I'm pretty surprised from bikers) and want the best for everyone, watching our community flourish, and been touched how supportive everyone has been to each other.

If you are interested DM (won't respond for a few days, currently traveling nonstop in Japan) but will read messages and get back to you.

Ps. The last year especially that last 6 months since becoming the moderator hs been the best and befriending time in my adult life. I love you all and couldn't imagine or want it any other way!

Looking into start riding

Hey y’all I have been doing research on bikes and MSF courses in the area and tbh it seems terrifying to ride out here. I feel like I see news articles everyday about fatal motorcycle accidents. I’m genuinely curious how it is to ride on our roads for those of you that ride frequently. Whether it is daily or just a couple days out of the week, how many times would you say you encounter aggressive drivers or people not paying attention in the metro area? I feel like I see or experience this every time I’m driving in my car so just wondering if this happens more or less on bikes. Hopefully this post doesn’t come off as annoying, I am just hoping to hear personal experiences with riding out here.

Edit: thanks everyone for the advice! I am a little late getting back to this post but I really appreciate it. Everything has been duly noted. Ride safe everyone! ❤️

Stolen Z900 - 50th Anniversary

My Kawasaki Z900 - 50th Anniversary Edition got stolen out of my apartment parking garage in cap hill sometime between 8:00pm Thursday (Oct 2nd) and 7:30am Friday (Oct 3rd). It has a Chinese knockoff SC Project slip-on, tail tidy, and bar ends mirrors.

If anyone sees it please let me know.

New transplant, how long of a riding season do yall usually get?

I know this is highly relative to some of you degenerates out riding in subzero weather, but for the majority of y’all when do you go into motorcycle hibernation?

Choices... Tiger or Multistrada?

A nearly new Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro is about the same as a nearly new Ducati Multistrada V4s.

I enjoy occasionally going off-road in my Tiger 800, but I don't do the hard single track or more challenging trails like I used to. I'm getting older and I don't have riding buddies for those days. I've nearly gotten stranded a few times in the middle of nowhere.

Anyway, I am thinking of upgrading my old trusty ride to something newer but I honestly can't decide. I really love the Triple engine, but that V4 sings. The Tiger is substantially better off-road, but it's still heavy and not actually much lighter than a Multi. I mostly do long road rides these days but I also spent 9 hours on dirt last weekend so I'm torn.

Has anyone here in Colorado owned both and can give me some insight?
