Thanks Jim! Yea he is an absolute trooper. He had only been riding a week before this trip

It was heavily used in the past, when the logging industry here was strong. Now, the portion from the Yaak to lake Koocanusa sees very little traffic.

Haha so true. Late winter early spring is rough out here lol

Thank you sir. That’s good information on the B4fm. I have no experience with that one so it’s good to know. Thanks for taking the time to share 👍🏼 safe riding to you!

You are most welcome. I believe for the price point you will be quite happy 👍🏼

It’s a great loop to ride in the area!

It’s a valid point… but at 10 mph I think you might be a little over estimating the danger lol

@@davidalantroyer yes//maybe YOU were doing ten ..but what about the other vehicle..lets say 10-20 /// if you dont think that would end bad for you,,,well you are wrong ... other then that I enjoyed your video

All in good fun man. Would life even be fun without a little ball busting?

It wasnt this Honda shadow was it? Lol!

@@davidalantroyer Heck, who knows it may have been, lol.

What part of California are you in? I’ve spent a few months there for work, and thankfully was able to take my bike and get a little riding in. California has some stunning roads! Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts, and stay safe!

Hello David..I have lived most of my life in San Jose, 101 hwy & 280 hwy area. It has some EastHill roads up to Mt. Hamilton Lick Observatory that goes out to Tracy & Livermore 580 hwy. Then further north is SF. But got to get out of area for no traffic to riding. Hollister south also and then Santa Cruz beach area is Highway 1..good to go on that along the west coast. But now out of SJ to Los Los Banos.(south). Sometimes too frecking hot (100+) to ride. Yosemite not to far. So I look to ride & find that good road while I can. Keep it up and rkeep rolling down the roads.😎 Thank you, keep safe. Happy Trails to you & your girl. Goose_HD 883 Lady🙂

That’s a fair point to make, but cattle living on a well traveled public road is not cool either. It’s a serious traffic hazard on some of those corners and pushing them off of the road did no harm as far as I can see

Haha! Very well of course although the rain is killing the last of the riding season

Thank you sir! It was a rough one but what a memory

Dang, yea that is a long way

I don’t remember coming across it… but I know exactly what you’re talking about

Nope, just not a shit taker.

Good idea with the water bladder. We did wet our shirts and that helped a lot

At least you provided good input instead of just bitching, lol. Everyone on the ride was very familiar with the route, it’s a small town and we all know the roads like the back of our hands, so one person cruising ahead to enjoy a set of curves while whoever wants to stays behind at their pace is exactly what we all enjoy. If it were with a group of people I didn’t know, or an area we didn’t know, it would be different. We were all perfectly happy on this ride. Regardless, thanks for the input, you’re not wrong!

Looks like a fun ride for certain.

Tough call... if you do make it through and you remember, reach out and if I’m in the area it’d be great to meet somewhere for a beer!

@@davidalantroyer Yes. Thanks, it's been way too long for GNP again.

That’s a great ride, and I have to say Bonners is much nicer to stay in than Libby. No, these roads are almost always empty, except in hunting season, but even then they’re empty comparatively to the rest of the country. There is an influx of people from mostly liberal areas, for whatever reason, but it’s not terrible, yet... there tends to be a trend with liberals toward attempting to shut down local logging and other major sources of revenue, which leads to much worse forest fires activity and a crippled economy, but it’s not as bad here as other places

It’s one of my favorites for sure. If you’re ever in the area let me know!

Blessings on you as well!

I’d guess that the quickest way for a dude to “transition” out here would be to walk into the ladies outhouse after someone else’s wife.

Good to hear you’re back in two wheels! Thanks for taking the time to say hi, and you be safe as well sir.

Good info. I’ve never heard of a cooling vest but should look into it. Thank you!

That’s a great bike, and I can find nothing wrong with it if you’re happy with the power level. There’s something about getting attached to one bike and holding onto it.

No doubt about that! Next video you’ll see my solution 👌🏼

My goal is to go 100k on this bike and I’m only 23% of the way there!

I always appreciate your feedback my friend. Glad you enjoyed it. I think you’ll like the upcoming stuff. I’m in PA right now on my way back from CT with another Victory

Good of you to give input. Which president was it that said “to complain about a problem without offering a solution is just bitching”? Teddy Roosevelt I believe?

Good thing you made the world a better place with your opinion, big man.

I can’t wait for another long ride dude!

Jeriah Miller, I bet next time you'll split your beverage selections between Gatorade and water. 😁 And a bit more of both.😉

@@davidalantroyer & Jeriah, I had to go back to see what gear Jeriah had on. I like the chaps but they're better suited to horseback riding than motorcycle protecting. 😉😁 When you unzipped your jacket I was surprised that you had it zipped all the way up.🤤 That shuts off all of the ventilation and bakes you in your own juices. That's Great for roasts and hams, not so much for people.😁 I have zero experience with motorcycle leathers but firefighters bunker gear has similar issues and I still remember when a blue jean jacket felt like an oven in July and August. Even at 60 to 70 MPH! Unzip that jacket 5 to 10 inches. The ventilation will evaporate the sweat and might even give you goose bumps. 😁 The main thing is, it can keep or lower your core temperature by 5° - 10° which can lessen the effects of heat exhaustion/stress. You've still got to drink enough water to prevent dehydration or nothing short of an IV drip running wide open will help. FYI, the H2O you pour down your neck is cheaper than the Saline IV a paramedic pumps into your arm. 😉 Wishing Y'all Good Luck & Great Riding

Mike that’s some solid advice. So true, unzipping the jacket and pouring water down the shirt is going to be a lifesaver next time.

@@davidalantroyer LMFO, David, I meant pour the water into Jeriah and let nature take it's natural course. 😂 If you have plenty of water it certainly won't hurt to wet his shirt. Just make sure he's got enough in him first. In the fire service we pushed the fireline personnel for 3 - 20 oz bottles of water an hour. We considered 2 bottles would get most of them through but 3 would give us a fair safety margin. We were lucky if we could get them to drink 20 oz of Gatorade an hour. A sketchy but we'll worn field test used by some crew chiefs, if you suspect 1 of your guys may be experiencing dehydration ask him to spit. If they can't spit on command it's most likely because they don't have enough water in them.

Thank you my friend! Glad to have you, and I hope I can provide value. Glad you’re thinking about another long ride. This was my last one and I’m just now uploading it from 2019, so I’m feeling overdue for another long trip too.

Thank you sir!

It was one for the books... yes I love the coms, Lexin Moto is a great value for the money. I don’t know how I would be able to ride without the ability to make phone calls on the road, and the music helps on lo rides

Glad you enjoyed it, thank you for the feedback and the sub! 👊🏼

That’s true. Grand Junction, Fargo, those are some nice areas with milder winters 👌🏼

Haha I would agree she’d kill it on a street glide.

That is true, I have to admit though I almost always wear a helmet, but I don’t always wear gloves

It’s beautiful! I just recorded a great video last week of one of the best roads around. It’s in the que for upload!
