Lets see your bike at a mountain pass or summit

On the way up to Mt. Evans

I'm late to the party, and don't even own the Concours anymore, but it has been to the Rockies twice and Smokys once.

Wow- that is a LOT of Concorseses!!  Where in Asia was that?

HI Maxtog,

   Yes, WE are in Taiwan.  There have many concours 14.

Hey 4ceders, mt.Evans is special, great pics.

Thanks blanton.

As you can see by the altimeter I had about 1000 vertical feet to go when the hail came. I didn't dare turn and look at my father, knowing he would have wanted to turn around. So I kept going with him and the Harley following closely.

As you can imagine I had an earful when we did reach the summit .

But the funny thing is, now, thats all he talks about when that trip comes up in conversation.

That fog bank came as we were descending. I watched it roll down the mountain like some kind of horror movie. When we finally met up with it visibility went to barely able to see the white line on the edge of the road.

I thought it was a perfect way to experience the mountain

Did some riding in NH in 09. Did the Kancamangus and loved it. In fact I liked it so much I went over it, turned around, went over the other direction, turned around again and continued my ride. Wish I had gone further north and wend up Mt Washington. Nice!

Thanks, Next time take a trip to the top of Mt. Washington along with a ride on Bear Notch Rd and Hurricane Mountain rd also.

Near Stanley Idaho summer 2012

On the south side of Beartooth pass in Montana / Wyoming, June 2011. Almost 11,000 feet altitude (I think it was 10,993- really, couldn't they do a little work with a bulldozer and make it an even 11,000 feet?)

[/URL]

The pass had only been open two weeks and there was still 15 feet of snow on the side of the road.

Great pictures Brian. I don't ever want to live anywhere that has 15' of solid snow

Nice! Beartooth is one of the truly epic MC roads.

I've ridden over Hoosier many times but not with snow on the roads. Hopefully the road itself was clear when you did it.

[B.D.F.]

Agreed- a fantastic trip, along with a ride through the top of Yellowstone park on the way; icing on the cake. I went through the pass alone but planned on taking my wife through it during the National in Idaho this year.

Another photo from the same ride, looking back over the switchbacks down into Montana:





Charles Kuralt called it 'the most beautiful drive in America' and I certainly wouldn't argue.
