I suspect some of you have seen this already but for those that haven't here is a little slice of my world,
I thought I would share the ride I took the last 4 days, now don’t expect far away exotic places, unless you are not from North America, I am often astounded that we easily forget how great we have it when it comes to motorcycle roads in the PNW and BC. I can’t remember the last time I was so tired from turning, not tired of, but tired from.
It was time to take the LeMans out for a spin, for those that don’t know I recently purchased a 2003 Moto Guzzi Lemans Rosso Corsa. The Guzzi’s previous owner or owners had only run up a total of 2400 kilometres, not even broken in yet, the history of the bike is a bit of a mystery but it’s mine now, registered to me and ready to begin it’s new life as a bike that will be used often. To follow a tradition of many years between a good friend and myself we were to ride Lolo Pass as we have done to initiate every new bike we have purchased over the past years.
Day 1, 715 Kilometres Elkford British Columbia to Lochsa Lodge Idaho, via West side of Kocanusa Lake, McKillop Creek road to Hwy 2 then Missoula and Lolo Pass
We met a friend on McKillop Creek road, she was a real cutie. Great road and new pavement to boot.
On the Kocanusa road we meet an Iron Butt enthusiast on an ST1100 wit a license plate holder that read “ 11 days 11,000 miles” amazing! The ST had 297000 miles on it, no major engine work
Obligatory Lolo Pass sign picture
Home for the first night, comfortable, clean, quite and the best huckleberry pancakes anywhere
After a couple Alaskan Amber Ales and the pork chop special I was out for the night, just enough sleep to work up an appetite for the huckleberry pancakes in the morning
