A CRF250L in Colorado

[Ole_imp]

Yes, I had spooned on a new Dunlop D606 on the rear right before I left. I am sure 1000 miles would have "toasted" it. Besides, I needed my truck to sleep in. So I trailered the bike. The fuel injection worked perfect even at 12,800 feet. Just push the magic button and go. I had to help push many a dirt down in The San Juans later in this trip. Guys would shut them down for a pic then couldnt get em started. Kicking a bike at 13000 feet is no fun!

The Moose were everywhere.



Going up Deadman Road to the lookout found a pair of Minolta binocs right in the middle of the road. Nobody at the lookout claimed.





Rist Canyon and Stove Prairie Roads were outstanding.



A big fire went up Rist canyon last year. Some of the houses I could tell where freshly built.







There is about a 12 mile stretch on Stove that is world class. Almost as good as Hy 31A and Hy 6 in British Columbia. I did Stove 4 times! Great fun on a 250!



Looking back at Rist Canyon from Old Flowers Road.


Hy 14 along The Poudre





Boy Scout Camp Road was more high speed gravel
I thought I was in The Black Hills for a bit









ATV went everywhere north of Hy14
Spent some time getting lost on them



Long Draw Road was a highlight and not many people on it





Those mountains are the north side of Rocky Mountain Nat Park


Long Draw Road area













Does anybody in Colorado hunt Moose? They were everywhere like rabbits


Crap. Maybe a mod should move this to the "other bike" page?
I won't have a CB1100 trip report till October. Me and the boy are going for a little ramble then.
