Waiting for the crew. What's wrong?

War wounds:

"Oh stone, rock of the ages, why dost thou breaketh my wheel and causeth me to crash?"

Great composition on your images, as always, Diek.

Was that picture of Aaron him nodding off waiting for us to quicksteel the rim and finish up repairs or his estimate on what my future disfigurement would be after I pulled off my helmet? Ha.

Glad you got a shot of the "Little Rock That Could". I'm sure the destruction wrought upon me impressed all of the much larger rocks that never used to let the small rock play in any of the big rock games. But after this, they surely shouted out with glea, "rim-cracking rock, you'll go down in history!". That's what I thought, anyway, after I went back and retrieved it to give it the due respect it had earned...then I promptly threw it to the side and continued the ride.

And then in walks in Nick Sanders: Endurance Motorcycle World Record Holder (and his pristine helmet hair).

Rode here on his at-the-time unobtanium Yamaha Super-Tenere ride:

More tire issues, this time Sven:

King of the hill:

Riding this ridge was amazing, like a dream...

"Wait, right turn? Uhhhh..."

"What do YOU think?"

viola-tor · 08-07-2011, 04:09 PM

a little Montana single track (that didn't end so great...

)

Too much of my ride was solo. Boring taking pics of my own bike, but here are a few which includeded the group.

The "Wrong ADV Group" Training group up Nine Mile on day 1. When you are waiting for an ADV group out in the wilds, what are your chances of tagging along with the wrong group? Murphy says....

Little Wolf from Rogers Pass

Monday morning - Brown's Lake

Resevoir Lake Campground

Canyon Ferry Dam Just prior to the anti-rear-tire-motion and 2-day-layover-for-parts-in-Helena feasco coming back down Magpie.

Resevoir Lake

The pause that refreshes. Finally caught up with more riders.

The push to Darby - last day visit with 2 handicap vehicles with training wheels

Thanks Shady! And thanks again for the "customized" stove! Still haven't tested it, but I'm looking forward to it.

A few more from the end and WestFest:

Car show in Hamilton:

Yours truly, ChadX on the cam:

Calvin's album cover photo:

Not much, but any air is BIG air on a 500+ pound motorcycle!

The ride "away" back through Idaho solo (I wouldn't say "home" as I'm still out! Poooooor me...).

Great trip everyone, I had an absolute BLAST. I hope to get this all rolled into my big viola-tor thread someday, but I'm more than a year behind, so we'll see.

Cheers my friends!

Ride reports should never interfere with riding

(particularly when one report will likely show my lack of riding skills)

Hmmm, doesn't seem to work. Privacy settings perhaps? Cool idea, lemme see!

Yup privacy setting wasn't set to "public" should work now, but you may still have to have a Facebook account.

Late to this party. Yes we had an awesome time last year, great to see some of the gang in the pics. And did somebody say Baja.
