4 States, 2600 miles, 2 national parks & flatlands suck

[Sasquatch]

I'm back after did you all miss me?  Did you even know I was gone?..... Figures....



Had to go to a rally (motorhome, for work) in Minot, ND last week so I opted to ride since the company would pick up the fuel/food/lodging tab.  Wanted to hit Glacier NP on the way out and Yellowstone on the way back.



Left Emmett (yes, that is home now) and headed up through Stanley into Montana.  My goal was to finally make it through Glacier National Park and the "going to the sun" highway.  I would then run accross hwy 2 in northern MT and into ND ending up at Minot (motorhome rally).



Idaho and Glacier were beautiful.  Ran into some rain around Missoula.  On to the photos.  All in all I covered 2,600 miles.  Went through Glacier and Yellowstone.















Ok, this is the scenery from the east side of Glacier through North Dakota.  Can you say boring?  At least there was zero traffic so I held it at about 90 for 600 miles.







This is on the way home.  I think I have officially found BumFuckingEgypt. This was out in central Montana towards the eastern end of the state.







Things got interesting again in Red Lodge MT, the eastern entrance to Yellowstone.  The main highway into Yellowstone has washed out so I had to take a detour into Wyoming.  It was a good ride anyway.





Met this guy on the road.  I think I would loose my licence if I had to ride it.











I got home today...  Little tired.  



Just about to roll over 20,000 miles on the Tiger in under two years, with none of it commuting to work.  This bike rocks!

I wish I could get my employer to pay for my motorcycle trips...  Especially to places like Glacier and Yellowstone!



You are a lucky man!



BTW, Nice flat patch on the rear tire...
