Awesome. Looks like Going to the Sun Road in Glacier, Yellowstone, Bryce Canyon, Arches, Capitol Reef. That was a great trip!

Glorious rbike!
I wish to retire like that, sans the rocked rim.
Honda scooters are under-rated. Seems you found a nice pairing with the RV.

Drive/ride save and good luck with your travel
Both tires and wheels on the right side. The trip had sustained winds of 30-50 (yes 50) mph the whole trip since Georgia (US) going NW to Montana and back. ' never realized how windy the Midwest is. Straight-line winds were a never ending feat to keep on the road, not just stay in the lane. This event was a wind caused action that only moved me a few inches (apx 6-9), but it was enough to have me run into the boulders on the nonexistent shoulder. Having tools (electric impact wrench - really cool tool!) and the MC (really cool too) enabled me to wobble 10 miles @ 10mph to the visitor center where there was enough room to move the good front wheel to the rear and then utilizing my MC I went into town and ordered 2 new wheels and tires to go on the front.
I never travel without my Honda ever now. Even if I have no intention of needing it for local get around when traveling at destinations, it is there for just in case anytime more than 30-60 minutes away from home.
It is on & off in 10 minutes - 10 seconds on and off, 9 minutes and 50 seconds for tie downs and ramp - lol.
I am looking forward to travelling up the east coast this summer and putting many miles with my Honda jr along the beaches and parks on my Honda while the home stays in the local resting location.
