Biker Jim's opened its second brick-and-mortar spot, this one in Highlands Ranch, at 11 a.m. today.

"For any of you Highlands Ranchers that had made the drive to our Larimer store...I feel your pain," says founder Jim Pittenger. "That is a drive, isn't it?" Photographer Danielle Lirette made the drive to visit with Biker Jim on the eve of the opening; keep reading for a taste of the new place.
