Ya know,,, some of us do have a job! You schedule these get togethers during the week and you limit the number of varmits that can devour your grub. C'mon man ,,,, look at the calendar would ya !

I was wondering why we hadn't seen you in a while. Nice area you're in now. Nice shop you got , plenty of room for all the hobby's now.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO VENTURERIDER.ORG :Happy Birthday::Happy Birthday:

One of the best riding trips I've taken Excellent road quality and the scenery can't be beat. I absolutely loved Glacier national park , Going to the sun road is an awesome experience everyone must do at least once. 270* decreasing radius switchback turns were a blast to ride and new eye popping scenery around every curve . Lolo pass/ Hell's Canyon is a fun road to ride, 140 miles of sweeping curves that follow the clearwater river basin. I had an ear to ear grin the whole way As soon as I get all the pictures and video sorted out I'll start a thread on our trip.

During the last 2 weeks of riding Montana and Idaho we spent many miles near the triple digits, the bike loved it almost as much as I did.

Sorry. Woody but the independent suspension has a wider stance and smoother ride, also better in the twistys.

I buy infant socks, they fit good and are cheap by the bundle.

No comparison, RSV Hannigan is miles better ride. Lots of people buy a tri glide and sell it with the first year.

Just weld up the broke one that's what I did several years ago. Still holding well.

Damn, Damn Damn,,,, picked up a nail in my new DS tire, roadside plug till I get home to fix it right.

Stopped for lunch while riding Lolo Pass and got to talkin with some other riders, one guy on a canam says he had an RSV before, his user name was Dodgedad and sends a hello to everyone.

We rode Lolo Pass and Hells Canyon the last 2 days, awesome ride, 140 miles of winding roads that follow the river thru the canyon.

Bumped it up to 55 for running these tight twisty switchbacks out here in Montana & Idaho, it felt loose below that.

A quick update on my dark side experience. I have spent the last week riding Beartooth Pass, Chief Joseph hwy, Glacier National Park and all I can say is this tire is awesome, it has handled everything I've thrown at it. I highly recommend it if you are considering going DS.

Half way over Beartooth today before the rain turned us around. Good day. Off to Glacier tomorrow. Pics when I get to the hotel.

Tried beartooth yesterday but 3" of slushy snow stopped us from going over the top! Going to try again today then tomorrow morning we leave for Glacier,,, looking forward to riding the going to the Sun road.

Larry will be making them again, he had sold his pattern set so I gave him mine to make a new pattern set. Give him some time , they'll be available again.

We are staying 15 miles north of red lodge at a buddy's house, still in the area? Give me a call.

Rode beartooth and chief Joseph today, here's 1 pic from Chief Joseph more to come.http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07/09/8075a419d6b0143ebf59084efd105ab3.jpg

I'll check Montana while I'm here.

Let the fun begin! Beartooth and Chief Joseph tomorrow then Glacier NP. [emoji12]

Mine broke several years ago, all I did is weld it back together and it's been holding fine ever since.

Only thing missing is a kitchen ! Plan on eating at restaurants eh ?
