It has always gotten good mileage, but I guess now that it is getting broken in the mileage is improving. I've got just under 80,000 miles on it.<br />I hope we can ride together some day...next time to Wyoming eh?Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10224016448511521446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2389913768699522944.post-72061671592865042972013-09-12T17:06:10.550-07:002013-09-12T17:06:10.550-07:00Very nice Ken.

You know that I was in Wyoming on my Vstrom that weekend too? visiting my brother in Casper. Is your bike a 650 or 1000? Guessing by your mileage it's a 650? You can see my RR on Pashnit or on my blog. Maybe some day we will cross paths!<br /> John Old Surf Doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17239854852661701366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2389913768699522944.post-35815269247290913122013-09-09T20:33:55.661-07:002013-09-09T20:33:55.661-07:00Jules - As I understand it the North American Biso...Jules - As I understand it the North American Bison can reach 1500 lbs. I had a bison/bacon burger for dinner a couple hours after I made that video. It's a good thing bison didn't know I was going to eat some bison meat, they might have been a little more aggressive!

There was also a bit of hail at the top ob Beartooth and it got chilly<br /><br />If I am free I could show you some of BC. Make sure you include Hwy 6 from Vernon to Nakusp and then over to Kootenay lake and south to Creston<br /><br />bob<br /><a href="http://www.wetcoastscootin.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Riding the Wet Coast</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2389913768699522944.post-34357532649041860962013-09-03T18:53:32.285-07:002013-09-03T18:53:32.285-07:00Erik - Thanks! 16, 14, and 14A are all very scenic...Erik - Thanks! 16, 14, and 14A are all very scenic...well worth riding. <br />Keep Beartooth and Chief Joseph on your list, also very worth it.<br />Thanks for reading!Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10224016448511521446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2389913768699522944.post-5768063365179845082013-09-03T17:46:44.813-07:002013-09-03T17:46:44.813-07:00Congratulations on all 50!

It was nice, but 14 has more curves and switchbacks. We wanted to hit Beartooth and Chief Joseph, but the weather was not looking good at the top. We ended up going around instead of over. Maybe another year.. <br />Again, congratulations on all 50!Erik Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08051303728879129181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2389913768699522944.post-83681356601592941692013-09-03T15:02:31.129-07:002013-09-03T15:02:31.129-07:00Trobairitz and bob - Hmmmm BC or Europe...
