Default Idaho, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming

Went on a nice little ride last week. More photos to come.

The good ol' CBR at a gas stop at the little store at Fontenelle, Wyoming.

Some photos from a ride that began a couple of weeks ago now. About 2200 miles altogether. The CBR ran flawlessly as usual, even at over 12,000 feet in Colorado.

They let me be in front. However, the Wee Stroms handle pretty well, and my brother has no trouble herding that Ultra Classic through the curves surprisingly quickly.

My 2nd bike is a wee strom . Great bike in a lot of ways , but I miss the outright power of the
CBR . I'm in the process of getting the old girl registered again for summer .
Riding position on the V Strom is perfect for me . I've ordered a set of Danmoto 3D clip ons for the CBR . Hope to soften the riding posi a bit .

Thanks Jarvid, I responded to your post the other day but it got lost somewhere. We were only out 6 days, unfortunately back to work now. I am planning the next one tho.

That difference really shows up at high elevation where we spent a lot of time this trip. My buddy on the 650 had a little more trouble passing on the short straights than I did.
