No Thru Traffic

I cant help but relate our trip to the song by The Shangri-Las called Leader of The Pack. Mainly because its the only song that involves motorcycles, engine noises and candy stores. Since we have both been spending lots of our time at the candy shops drinking malts and talking about boys it only [...]

We awoke from our slumber at another awesome KOA in Fillmore really early to try and make it to Zion in time to get a first-come, first-served camping spot. But as is typical of my packing, it took me an hour to put the mountain of crap back onto my bike. After another terrible freeway [...]

If I had to name three things I learned from popular music they would be, that you can’t always get what you want,  that all we are is dust in the wind and that Heaven is a halfpipe. If I had to name three things I learned from this trip so far, they would be, [...]

That’s us at the Grand Tetons, up there.
The KOA that we stopped at outside of Montpelier, Idaho was amazing. We had free wifi, chatted with the owner, had an incredible shower, a nice fire, and slept next to a roaring stream in probably the prettiest campsite we’ve had so far.

Along the way, we rode past the guest ranch that I stayed in during my first Red Bull training and the lake that they took [...]

After leaving Glacier we headed south towards yellowstone.  We stopped in Helena Montana to get some lunch at Safeway and stock up for dinner. Up until this point we had been fortunate enough to stay dry, safe and happy. Like two babies tucked into bed, we were content. Until the rains came…
We got soaked riding [...]

So it’s been a little while since we were last able to update this thing, turns out there isn’t much service in Montana – expecially in Glacier National Park. It also seems as though AT&T shut off my internet tethering, so posts may be more limited or without photos unless we find hotspots during pitstops.
Since [...]

We got a much earlier start today on our way back south to Lewiston and US 12. Yes, we had to backtrack – chalk one up to poor map planning. Once we got back onto US 12 though the road snaked through a valley and hugged a river as we retraced the tracks of Lewis [...]
