Haven't been here much in the last week or so. Wife and I just returned from a 11 day, 4700 mile 10 states ,4 National Parks, and several signicant roads out west tour. We hit Wind Cave Natl Park in SD, Yellowstone Natl Park in Montana/Wyo , Grand Teton Natl Park in Wyoming, and Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado. We drove Needles Highway, Iron Mountain Road, Beartooth Pass, and Chief Joseph Highway. We drove more states Scenic Byways than you can shake a stick at lol. These are all wonderful places to ride a motorcycle. We saw more Harley's than you could count. American Iron is alive and well in the American west. Saw a fair amount of BMW GS's as well. Even a few KTMs. Seems it was either a cruiser or an ADV bike, but the vast majority were cruisers. The Big 4 Japanese brands were poorly represented from what we could see. A smattering of Gold Wings, a lot of those triked.
It seems hotel internet connectivity is sketchy in a lot of places, especially at Quality Inns it seemed.
I made sure to take a motorcycle ride the morning before we took off and tonight an hour after we got back, so I only missed 9 days of riding, but I can tell you tonights ride although short, was euphoric.
It's good to be home.
