we have been riding about every weekend but have not posted any rides in consideration of those in the snow belt...
im thinking since we had some snow still on the ground along the side of the road at 7000 feet... today... we were in the snow belt...
so im one of you... well at least i was one of you until we came down the hill... where i had to unlayer to mesh to avoid overheating in the bright yellow sun up there in the glorious blue sky...
btw... i tried a set of bar backs just for the he11 of it... the bug eye brick prefers stock bars with no bar backs... fwiw...

You finally made it to 74! I hope you were going up it.
No bar backs = wise choice IMO.
I'm gonna be back down there in the near future.

yes... from east to west... want to do it the other way someday soon...
this is our 3rd time out there... the 2 previous times the road was not passable...
once closed for snow and black ice and once the fine fireman simply said dont do it...
so rydor has another month of polishing that ohlins...
more babies are delivered in november in illinois than any other month... so
put another log on the fire there rydor...

Can't speak for the others, but riding vicariously through your photos presents no issues for me! Best we've got here (upper midwest) right now is shooting photos at the International Motorcycle Show in Minneapolis with a foot of snow and sub-zero temps outside. Please don't hesitate to post them pix!
And I must confess that it puts a bright spot in my day is when I can see, even through sunglasses, a twinkle in the eye of that passenger in the leopard skin jacket! Life is good, Johnny O!
