Nice straights. Any curves? (just pullin' your leg Laughing

) Those roads look awesome. Great video. Thanks.

Drake, you have to ask Rydor about a few turns he took us on at HM III Shocked

Duck:

That was, I think, the upward ride from the park; did you do one on the other side? There's a world of difference between the two, I think: I was fine (for my age) going up that side, but I tended to walk the K12 down the other side.

I've done both sides both ways this summer. Rode it "down" (southward) on my way to Hungry Buffalo in July and then "up" (northward) from Yellowstone as you see here in August. It's ALL good. Very Happy

I agree that it's all good, but I found the ride down to Red Lodge more "challenging" than the ride up from the park: perhaps it was because I didn't know what I was getting into as I rode up; by the time I rode down (and I was riding two-up on the K12 with Felicity on the back) I was intimidated.

There's the possibility that I'll get to do it again solo next spring/early summer solo on the K11; that'll be different.

Yeah, I'd agree that riding down to Red Lodge 2-up is not something you'd want to ride "aggressively."

But it was a beautiful afternoon and we enjoyed it--even though I'd probably have made better speed if I'd walked it down Laughing

Drake, that was so very S-W-E-E-T!!!
I loved your lines and 'seeing' you roll on the throttle coming out of the turns.

Damn Crusiers. Laughing

Thanks, babe. You know that it CALLS to you. Razz

The really freaky part is that there was no snow. I've done it quite a few times now and this is the first time that everything was bare.

I need to ride it more though, like Hwy 1, because the only thing that beats riding a great road the first time is riding it the Nth time, when you KNOW every turn and how to ride it.

I've never ridden it on my RS. Now THAT would be fun. But I've gotta admit that half the fun of riding in MT in the lack of a helmet law which makes chit like that even more special to me. I won't ride the RS sans helmet though - not enough protection from bugs and such.
