Perfect choice of bikes. The definition of why to own an Adventure and how to use it. I'm all eyes on this RR.
Keep it going... Yeah!!!

I'm loving it...keep posting. This ride is on my bucket list ever since I read dockingpilot's ride report covering it.

Havin' a wee bit of trouble spotting that hare. Very entertaining ride report.

Surely this is post-dated, it would be as cold as a witch's tity in Idaho/Montana now! I'm subscribed- lets see some pics!

Hi All,

thanks for tagging along on on the report.
Thanks to Jeremy for the added pics.

The trip occured 2011 Aug 21 to Sept 2. Did not get to it until now since winter is a good time for work on these.
The weather during the trip was pretty good for the most part - it was a bit hot at times.
DockingPilot made the trip later in September and caught some awesome views of the fall colors, but also saw a bit of frost at higher elevations.

This was a perfect ride for the big Adventure bikes as you had wide open spaces where you could really let her rip.

I plan to release more ride report once a week for each day of the trip so stay tuned.

Also for those who are hare impaired here is a hint:

Not gonna lie I can't see the hare even in your blow-up

. Must explain my sucking at hunting.

cmreimer · 02-14-2012, 01:22 PM

I'm in! That trip in on my bucket list....maybe this Fall!

Will be following along.

When do the Kabooms get some dust on them? Makes me nervous when DS bikes are too clean.

I don't see a hare, maybe it's hiding behind that rabbit?

I'm gonna have to ride out there and look for myself I suppose. Maybe this year. I hope.

Thanks for the RR, I love watching the videos.

You betcha you can do this on a big bike. We did and one pair two up even.
There's a few challenging bits, but, take your time, bring some friends, and enjoy the scenery!

Thanks to the others who correctly pointed out we were looking for a rabbit and not a hare. You guys are sharp!

Here is a hint of some wildlife we see on the next installment. Find out who blinks first!

The one on the left looks real friendly, the black one is looking the other way to fake you out.
