rolling out of mickis moms garage in waverly ia... headed for the hills...

lunch break at tom thumbs in fort dodge... this was one fine little che... it was really good...

we were blasting like a moe on west on us 20... you would think they would know how to spell moeville...

stopped in sioux city ia to hook up with the motobrick rider... klinker... who rode the bugeye motobrick to the west coast for us from minnesota...

making our way to sioux falls sd...

klinker fixed up some of the tastiest flesh of the cloven hoofed beast i have ever had...

then we went for strawberry soft serve... yummy...

the next morning klinker fixed sausage and pancakes with the motobrick rider...saltcreek... very own tamarack farm canadian import maple syrup...

more later...

The LT bars fits nice in the KRS. More upright riding position.
I remember when I had and 1995 K1100RS I felt pain in my rear neck after some hours riding.
And nice yellow accents!
THanks for the pictures, j o.

it aint called the bugeye motobrick for nothing... thats for sure... the new era of midwest motobricking... i like the all black better...

westward we roll...

the i90 through sd is an evil piece of slabb... bumpy... windy... wide open... for as far as the eyeball can focus...

the missouri river...

headed to stirgis a little early i presume...

the roadside is littered with wall drug signs...

and other interesting tourist traps...

1800s town...

and critters...

rode by... parking clogged up and too congested to deal with it...

finally... no more slabb...

upper great plains cactus... plumb nertly aint it...

we rolled the 44 to rapid city... it was one fine... smooth... straight piece of licorice... lets say we cleaned out the carbon...

on the road to deadwood...

this guy jumped in front of us... freaky...

we rolled through the historic tourist trap known as deadwood... lotts of history here... but an enormous trap none the less...

spearfish canyon... a beauty of a ride...

ended up in spearfish sd for the night...

more later...

rolling out spooky of spearfish sd for the devils tower... it poured rain last night... looks like the worst has passed...

the road to devils tower was sweeper madness... a true joy to ride...

except for one massive slide... wy 24... a true joy to ride...

this is a sight that would repeat its self over and over... pronghorn antelope...

gillette wy... home to some of the worlds largest coal mining operations...

the hose that holds my side covers on was lost when replacing my battery in the dark... the electrical tape was good... but wouldnt hold above 80 miles per hour... and out here... 80 miles per hour is like being in granny gear... so napa here we come...

we blasted us 14 to ranchester wy... 100 mph of nothing out here... except a couple old grain operations with mountains in the distance...

we rolled up us 14... the big horn scenic byway... we followed a husband and wife on matching orange hds with green flames until they become afflicted with target fixation and almost cart wheeled them off the side of the road...

the valley looking east to sheridan wy...

i hear this mountain is rather scenic... but the spooky prevailed today...

w t f... they are straightening out the road... pilot cars and the whole bit... 2 stops of 30 minutes each...

more later...

then we crested the hill and it was blue skies... yippie...

we opted for the ride to shell on us 14 so we skipped the medicine wheel passage on us 14a...

look... its freaking amazing... m o even said it rivaled kings canyon... blaaaaaaaaa....

out of the canyon and into the flat lands... crazy rock...

now for the reason we come to ride... heading out of cody wy to the chief joseph highway and the beartooth pass...

more later...

Typical. Mine will burp a puddle of oil on the garage floor for no good reason, and then be fine for months.

I live about 50 south of Reno. Let me know how your Reno trip shapes up. Hopefully you will have time to roll around the mountains.

Wow, Wyoming. They don't call it big sky country for nothing. I haven't ridden there since 2001. I think I need to go back! Before the flatteners and straighteners ruin it all. Evil or Very Mad
