Trip to Beartooth Pass, Montana
Here's my "little" write up on my latest sport-touring ride to Beartooth Pass between Montana and Wyoming. It was 8 days through the California Sierras, Hwy 50 in Nevada, Yellowstone Park in Wyoming and back through Idaho, Crater Lake, Oregon and Northern California.

Wow!
My heart leaped for joy of the memories. I lived and worked in Cooke City for a few summers while I was in college at Montana State. I remember one summer it snowed on the 4th of July. I really do miss that awesome place.
Thanks for posting the pics. Glad you had a safe trip. |

Thanks for the info. I'm burning through my first Z6 and will prolly get about 5k out of it. A group of us were just up on 96. To bad you didn't head east out of Happy Camp. I think that is the best road I've been on. Glad your tire lasted long enough to get ya home! Let me know when you go on another adventure

P.S. I don't know how heavy the Sprint is but the B-rated Z6's for heavier bikes are available in the US now. I found out when I replaced mine at Road Rider. Last edited by Nelson; 08-06-2004 at 09:41 AM.. |

Awesome write-up dude!
I'll be getting in some sport-touring myself in the next couple of months (after my bike get's a valve-check, a new CCT, and a 50,000mile tune-up from Elskip).
