I was informed the night before that it would be cold where we were headed. Out the door and on the bikes at 9:00 am dressed in 2 shirts, a flees long under ware, jeans and a leather coat.
Email quote from Jerry on this day. I didn't keep track of where we were any more, I just rode
"We entered via us287 through West Yellowstone entrance. to Madison area, to Norris Geyser Basin area, (don't see numbers) to Mammoth Hot Springs and the mostly dried up terraces, to Tower-Roosevelt area, then out US212 where the as-large-as-minivans buffalo (bison, whatever) roam by the thousands, aka Bear Tooth Scenic Hwy or as we Americans call it, the Ricky Hollywood Rockstar Racer Freeway Into Red Lodge, MT. #$%* it, now I gotta go get me a 126.6 proof Bookers Whiskey on the rocks......................... OK, I'm back, good #$%*!"
More Buffalo
Howard bike was missed on this crossing.
Seems Obamahs' inrfastructure plan is well in place in the States where ever I went.
At the 3rd stop I put on my "neck warmer". Man it's cold up here.
I was having a hoot today. I usually ride alone or with my wife. Riding with these 2 guys was great. If I was out in front they were right behind me always, if I was at the back both guys kept an eye on me. It's tough riding a 750 cafe with 1800cc cruisers. I can loose them in the mountains, but on the straights the side winds can be a real pain in the ass for me!!
I know, .nice pants
but I was warm
Nice riding.
Jerry, you can stop grinning, the squirlle has left
I booted a head and took a couple of photos of the guys riding.
Jerry.
Howard.
About here Jerry took a couple of videos of me riding in this area........perhaps he could drop them in?
I started pulling my camera out of my pocket at this time. Twisty roads, remove leather gloves, stuff glove into jacket, pull out camera, turn 180 degrees and then hold it over your head behind you..........
We arrived in Red Lodge and jerry headed into town for a new headlight. He was hit by shrapnel from a Big Rig Tire Bow Out along the way. Howard and I hit the pool and spa.
Jerry & Howard were nice enough to have a Scottish parade for me in Red Lodge.
At my urging, we go to a Pizza place I saw on the way though town. Funny sh*t!!!!
Turns out it was a brew pub. Even though they were very busy I convinced the bartender that we wanted "Tasters" of all their beers and that we would be patient and look after her at the end of the night. I had realized I had left all my money at the Motel so what the f8ck did I care
21 beer on the table, lets begin...
She was very cool, she would explain the beer and would come back in a couple of mins and explain the next one till it looked something like this
So, time to order food. We "me" thought it might be fun to ask are bartender to serve us pizza as we had sampled the beer...........One slice of every kind of pizza they had
Jerry held the camera and here is the video "I hope"
I give up on Flicker tonight.
It's going to be a link click for the Video.

As I had booked this suite, I had made the extra request of some coffee, cream, bacon, eggs, orange juice and milk to be in the fridge on our arrival. I stayed up and set the table for breakfast, pre=set the coffee machine and pulled out all the pans and crap I would need to make food in the morning
Just trying to ingratiate myself into this mix
Self photo at Red Lodge 1:30am.............
The best day of riding I think I have ever had!!! Very
to ride with 2 guys who will follow you through any corner passing cars and basically raising hell on the road
