If you've been paying attention, I recently took a pretty long motorcycle trip. I was awaiting the pics from the other guys. Here's installment 1. If you weren't attentive, go into the August07 archives located at the bottom right of the page, then scroll down. The initial post is dated August 10th.

Long first night, getting in at 2am after riding in the dark for 8 hours...

The next morning, awoke to find my multiple rapid throttle applications of the night before caused the turnsignals to start cracking and crumbling. Fixing them with electrical tape and crazy glue...

Stopped to get a few pics roadside, set up the camera on a timer across the road so all three guys could be in it, posed, and....RV!!!!

End of a LONG rainy day in Revelstoke. Miserable, wet through, cold, nonfunctional bike. But we were still laughing. View through the motel window...

Emerald Lake pics...

Yours truly, posing outside Banff...

Slightly surreal cloud...

Me at the highest point we reached in Glacier National park. Thin air up here...

Leaving Glacier Park, took a breather at this clear lake...

Rolling Cyemm...

Our newbie wasn't after this trip...

Frequently met interesting locals at the bars after stopping for the night. I think he had 1 tooth.

Cold dark beer after a long hot ride.

The gang from Lake Missoula Motorsports who provided us anhigh speed escort over built-for-bikes Lolo pass. Thanks guys.

I'll leave these pics here for a bit, then slide them into the original post after they get pushed off the front page by my incessant blogging.
