Hey, I was just thinkin the same thing. Everyone leaves for CCR but us poor folk and then the whole site goes to crap and shuts down. Yippee for those of you who travel with a laptop.

Thanks for the pics Steve/Sammie. Keep them coming so those of us back home can enjoy the ride and CCR too.

Yep Thankfully he had his "REAR FLAP" shut :histerica

[PiePrincess]

Oh the train ride looked fun. Okay I need someone to volunteer to take me to CCR on of these years! I am missing out on to much fun, however, I haven't seen or heard of PIE yet. . . what's up with that??? Somebody make me proud!

[D.Kinsey]

Colorado between Telluride & Grand Junction.

[D.Kinsey]

We saw Griff along the way...... :D

[D.Kinsey]

Beartooth hwy http://www.beartoothhighway.com/ .....this was kinda scary :eek2: Lots of snow, wind blowing 50mph+ and sleat.

[BennyBob]

Wow, keep posting!!! Bringing back old memories. Onepicture reminds me of the east end of Glenwood Canyon, the old road before the interstate went through there. Beautiful, like a momentary vacation.

[cfell]

man.. this is brutal. I need another 20 oz Fosters.. or Guinnes

[PiePrincess]

We saw Griff along the way...... :D

Okay . . . now this was darn FUNNY!!! :histerica Maybe not funny to all, but if you were in Bastrop for the RTE many many many months ago and saw Griff holding the training wheels up to his head that he found in the corner of the restaurant, you would get this picture. Wasn't it Dick that took that picture or was it Stevie? Somebody find that darn thing and post it. It was on one of the threads.

Good memory, David. Matter of fact, that RTE to Bastrop was the first time we met! You poor guy. ;)

[PiePrincess]

Beartooth hwy http://www.beartoothhighway.com/ .....this was kinda scary :eek2: Lots of snow, wind blowing 50mph+ and sleat.

Did you pull out the trusty bungie cords I told you to pack to keep Paula on the back? Don't loose her . . . she will find her way home and I hate to tell you she will be pissed and out for revenge! :D

[D.Kinsey]

There is a fire in Yellowstone...don't know if it has made your news or not, it is pretty serious though and too see all the helicopters and firefighters staging and working was impressive.

[D.Kinsey]

In the park......notice the smoke :(

[loansumrider]

Jerry ( Lonewuff ) has made a good try at posting in yall's place. As far as the pic's go, a large group viewing with wine and cheese would be nice.

[katnapinn]

OK the story goes on... :rolleyes: This was our morning ride to Mirror lake. the top of the Pass was 10,769 feet

[D.Kinsey]

Fire & Ice.....and some buffalo thrown in.....

[katnapinn]

This was the evening entertainment.

[D.Kinsey]

Some close encounters with Buffalo....no not Jerry :D

[katnapinn]

[McRuss]

The first one is the Rio Grand Gorge just a tad out of Taos if Im not wrong, the next is the snowslide shed/tunnel on Red Mountain pass on the way into Ouray and the third is the Hoodoos at Blue Mesa Reservoir between Gunnison and Montrose (Colo.)

[Lonewuff]

More Yellowstone......these smell like "egg farts" :eek:

Ummm....David....ahhhh....how do you know what an egg's fart smells like? :confused: :p :rotf:

[katnapinn]

OK friday pics are only a few as I spent more time ridin and not picture takin ;) This is a water fall about 20 mile up the mountian from Midway

BTW it was 47 degrees @ 7:00 am at the hotel :rolleyes:

[katnapinn]

The ride home Saturday. David, Paula and myself took a side trip to "Four Corners" so we could add Arizona to states ridin


That's it for this road trip Next year we go to South Dakota :dance:

[grifscoots]

We saw some purdy stuff, too. But only when we weren't straf.... er, riding.

[Razmataz]

We saw Griff along the way...... :D

Now that's funny! I don't care who you are! :histerica

[grifscoots]

Now that's funny! I don't care who you are! :histericaExcepting the fact that I really use mine, not like that amateur who keeps them in the upright position.

[D.Kinsey]

More Yellowstone...

[D.Kinsey]

Old Faithful...

[katnapinn]

Just got these from David from the first day ride home
Just love the "Low Rider Micro Bus" :histerica That shot was takin by Paula at 75+ mph

[grifscoots]

I looked for you on the way. Prolly a good thang I didn't find you. You just thought your butt was sore going to Santa Rosa. We prolly would have had to take it to the ER going to Littlefield, TX (twixt Muleshoe and Lubbock).

[Wolfgang]

We are home!

THANKS FOR ALL THE OFFERS TO HELP US IN CASE OF MECHANICAL PROBLEMS!!!!

I did not not count but believe we had at least 5 different offers to tow and drive us home in case the transmission problem would re-appear. Hard to believe, but our transmission shifted flawless. Whatever happened on the way back from Mirror Lake fixed itself :)

Thanks to Steve for helping with the transmission oil change. I never heard of that fixing a problem, but it seems like it did.

We rode part of the way to Denver with Mark and Linda on Highway 40 following his recommodation. Great road!!

We stopped in Denver and visited with Kids and grandkids. Left after breakfast this morning. What a great way to end a spectectular week.

The ride home was uneventful except driving thru the "Commance Grasslands" now we know what T. Bone Pickens means by "Wind Corridor" we had crosswinds that made our floorboards scrap on a straight road. Emily was real quite back there.. :)

It was so good to see all of you again!

And now off for a killer Margaritas and the BEST Mexican Food.

Wolfgang and Emily

[PiePrincess]

Ummm....David....ahhhh....how do you know what an egg's fart smells like? :confused: :p :rotf:

Uh thank you, Jerry. My thoughts exactly!!

[BennyBob]

Thanks to everyone who posted pics and kept the humor flowing. We woulda been sooo bored without ya! ;)

[DanMartin]

Some pics from Utah

[blouw]

Hi Guys,
Thanks for the pics and it was great seeing y'all again.
We got home on Sunday afternoon after fighting some fearsome winds east of Tioga Pass on CA 120. When I stopped at the stop sign on 395 the wind was so strong that I thought I was going to drop the bike. I must say the GT works better in the cross winds for me than the LT. Met some other riders in Yosemite after negotiating Tioga Pass (V-Strom and R1150GS) and they were talking about the wind as well. Turned out the pass wasn't as bad as the flatter land east of 395.

Ride safe and see you next year in Rapid City!

[blouw]

Oh yeah, a few pics for those that weren't there,
