Earache

No, he goes his own way and meets us at the hotel each night.

Couple more screen grabs from Phil's GoPro...

Zoom zoom....

But the day wasn't all bad...

Riding into the storm in Wyoming...

Stuck in road works several times today, made for a long day...

I'm gonna try to find as much dirt as possible. Phil (BMW GS) has little touring experience and not much on dirt. Tom is on a BMW RT that he rented and little experience as well. But I'll peel off on my own as I can to ride dirt. Tom's father is following along in his Jeep and meeting us at hotels at night. He can't ride but wanted to come along for the beers each night. Can't fault his logic! We are in Rock Springs, Wyoming now and headed to Idaho Falls, Idaho today. Not sure of the route just yet.

We leave at noon and have 400 miles to do. This isn't gonna be much fun. And naturally it rained a good portion of the way across Wyoming. With high winds, too. Nice! One of the sunnier moments in Wyoming in the deep forest...

But I eventually made it to the restaurant where we were going to meet. It was at this time we found out that Tom wasn't going to be able to meet us until noon. So we ended up sitting in the restaurant for 4 hours while we waited. Fun. Remnants of a breakfast burrito with green chile...

And then some of these evil bastids a mile or two later...

Up early yesterday and had to get about 75 miles south of my house to meet up with my riding bud Phil. Dodging the wildlife in our area; juvenile moose...

Yup - it's all about the elevation. From 10,000' at my house to 4.000' across the flats makes for some big temperature swings. Looking forward to seeing the trees and forests of Wyoming. Pic from a couple of years ago...

Should be about 3,000 miles-ish and we'll be gone for 7 days. have a couple of days off in Anaconda, Montana midway through the ride. Most of Wyoming and Montana are flat as shit with virtually nothing there. Lots of high speed miles there. And it's always windy as Hell, too. Should be fairly hot in the flat areas and I'm kinda looking forward to that. 40F / 7C here now so it'll be cold as we take off. Gonna be around 100F / 38C when we get up there...might have to drink lots of beer!

Headed out to Montana today, should get there by Saturday. I'm going to try to do this ride report a bit differently; rather than take 100's of pics of my bike in front of something, I'm gonna try to take pics of the guys, the food, pics off the bike, the beers and the towns we visit. Try to make it a bit more interesting. It might really suck - you've been warned. The route outline...

Headed out tomorrow on a 5 state, 3,000 mile ride and will begin a ride report tomorrow. So quit yer bitchin'.

Our town has an annual race up a hill - mostly T- buckets and pre-1940's - in September. I'll post pics of it when it happens. Tons of cool cars.

Finally - a yacht that I can afford....

4C here this morning - had to put on my old man slippers.

Run for your lives!!!

A decent picture; you've looked worse.

Yes! My brother had two new ones back when I was a kid. When I was 12 or so, he'd let me back it out of the garage - was a thrill for me.

Agreed. There are always tons of Mustangs at these events, but few nice, clean wagons and trucks. They're my favorites.

That's DaveNoLegs

It is! Drag your T7 over and we'll go for a spin.

Doood - it had Cragar's on it!!! How cool is that guy?
