How high have you been
#11
Took my 2013 to the highest point on Trail Ridge road in Rocky Mtn. National Park. Over 11,000 feet for sure.

Ferret, they say the highest hills in South Florida are man made. Some people call them trash heaps! You can normally smell them before you see them. Big Grin

One of our Colorado members should take the road to Mt. Evan's peak. Over 14,000 ft I think. That would be a record.

Crest did not specify if the bike had to be a CB1100. So, I'm gonna cheat with my XL175. 12,800 feet on Engineer Pass in Colorado. That's pretty impressive for a 15 year old with all of 9 hp (which is at sea level) on tap.

I live at 6500' here in Rock Spring, Wyoming. Not the record, but pretty high all the time.

Not exactly sure how high Angeles Crest hwy gets but that's the highest I've been (elevation-wise at least). I may have read somewhere it's 7k or 8k ft elevation, not certain though.

Sometimes I glance over the edge of cliff and notice I'm riding above clouds, other times I can't see the bottom. Great feeling riding in high elevation.

The_undecided, you went all the way up to 12,800 ft, wow, what an experience that must have been.

I did a tour of the Colorado Rockies back in late June. The highest one I rode was Independence Pass at 12,095 ft. The highest one I have a pic of is Red Mountain Pass at 11,018 ft.

I also crossed the following passes above 10,000 ft. :

Freemont Pass 11,318
Monarch Pass 11,312
Molas Pass 10,910
Wolf Creek Pass 10,850
Coal Bank Pass 10,640

I managed to spend a week riding and camping without going below 7,000 ft. While most of the western U.S. was having a heat wave, I stayed nice and cool Tongue

Must of been a pretty ride, makes my ride look like sea level. Would like to trailer my bike through out the Mountain West area and take advantage of exploring the high country.

Took a 175 mile breakfast ride this morning and climbed over 50,000 vertical feet of mountain passes, including two crossings over the Continental Divide (Loveland Pass, 11,990', and Hoosier Pass, 11,539'). All in a morning's work.

What wind-shield is that you're runnin? Looks good, at least as good as a windshield can look. That's awesome you obviously tour your bike like that, good job.
