Thistledown Posted August 1, 2010 #1 Posted August 1, 2010 Rode the Beartooth yesterday with wife on back and two Terriers in my modified Unigo trailer. What a great ride, was so much fun I rode it again in the opposite direction today. Being from the east I thought the Blue ridge and Deals gap were neat but you just have to ride the Beartooth. The bike ran a little rich above 9000 feet but there was never any power issue. When I rode it today i left wife and the mutts back at the RV and used some of the extra rubber on the sides of my tires. Unlike Deals gap, one can ride as foolishly as one wishes, remembering that your first error will likely be your last. It's a great ride and suggest that anyone who hasn't done it but it on there Bucket list
friesman Posted August 1, 2010 #2 Posted August 1, 2010 Its real high on my list and hope to ride it soon, maybe next year, if we can get the international Rally in Cody Wy. next year. Do you have any pics to post? Its the rule u know.... Brian
phill12 Posted August 1, 2010 #3 Posted August 1, 2010 We rode it with slit on the road back in 92 on our way to V-Daze in Kailspel. It's a ride you want forget!
ragtop69gs Posted August 1, 2010 #4 Posted August 1, 2010 Here are a few of the vistas you will be treated to while riding the Beartooth. I'll be back there at the end of this month for 10 more days. http://a.imageshack.us/img22/3526/montana809jayscam255.jpg http://a.imageshack.us/img193/7973/montana809jayscam249.jpg http://a.imageshack.us/img10/3482/montana809jayscam147.jpg http://a.imageshack.us/img121/6110/montana809jayscam043.jpg http://a.imageshack.us/img121/553/montana809jayscam146.jpg
jemorrisonjr Posted August 1, 2010 #5 Posted August 1, 2010 I rode the Beartooth last year, WOW what a ride
GeorgeS Posted August 1, 2010 #6 Posted August 1, 2010 Lots of rides like this, all over the West Coast ( Left Coast, if you like ) Wa. Oregon, Calif, Idaho, Nev. Montana, Colorado, NM, AZ, --- Take your pick, com'on out west folks, enjoy the ridessssss, lots of them. I live 15 miles SE of Seattle, and have about 3 of the " Dragons " within 10 miles of the house !! Also, in Oregon, the " coastal range " and the " Cascade Range " Any of the routes that run E and W over these two Mt. ranges is a " heck of a ride " ( as they would say in Minn. and Wis ) Same thing in Northern Calif. If you prefer the " supper slab " try I-90 E and W across Idaho, yes its a freeway, but its another, " heck of a ride " ( sorry I grew up in Minn. )
RandyR Posted August 1, 2010 #7 Posted August 1, 2010 I had to look it up... http://www.beartoothhighway.com/ The Beartooth Highway (US212) is open for the 2010 season. The Beartooth Pass area of the Highway may close periodically when it snows and blows too much.
utadventure Posted August 2, 2010 #8 Posted August 2, 2010 We rode it as part of the Cody Roundup last year but had to contend with road construction. I hope that was all completed before your rides this year. It is a fantastic ride. I look forward to riding it again at the 2011 Cody Roundup II Dave
