friesman Posted May 27, 2011 #1 Posted May 27, 2011 (edited) Rocket is on a Cross Continent trip with a friend. They are on an 83 and 86 venture pulling an Aluma trailer, if you see them give them a thumbs up! I hope they have a good time and a safe trip.:banana: If anyone wants to follow them on their tour, here is the link to Pauls Spot locator. http://share.findmespot.com/shared/faces/viewspots.jsp?glId=0dW2uviFRmfVBIi65A9vRaQ1osJHe2jOq Brian Edited May 27, 2011 by friesman

friesman Posted May 28, 2011 Author #8 Posted May 28, 2011 Holy smokes! I know that hwy! I spent a lot of time in Stevensville long ago. Great riding up there. Wish I was tagging along on this one. I think he is overnighting in Salmon with Teri and Irv (pakidiaho) Its gorgeous country around there, ive been there a few times myself, but not on the scoot, one of these days hopefully soon. Actually it kinda reminds me of the terrain around Nelson BC in a lot of ways. brian
Snaggletooth Posted May 28, 2011 #9 Posted May 28, 2011 A friend of mine and his wife had a place just west of Stevensville. Nice cabin with a cliff behind it and up about 40 ft. above the cabin there was a ledge where he had his hot tub. We would sit up there for hours at night looking down into the valley. Best therapy in the world. The only problem I ever had up that way was everytime you said "hi" to anyone it turned into an hour long conversation. Folks up that way made you feel like an old friend. Now some of the local lawmen back then, not so much. I hope they rode off with their billfolds still intact.
chabicheka Posted May 28, 2011 #10 Posted May 28, 2011 Rocket's on the site right now...checking out this very thread....

Thus the attempts to contact Terrie & Irv, included a borrowed sim card to make the phone call.... Will need to get a US prepaid sim card, so the phone can be used.
Rocket Posted May 28, 2011 #12 Posted May 28, 2011 Ok SPOT just updated there on the move not sure i like the way spot works Guess I didn't get it into tracking mode this morning (button not held long enough), it must of only did a check in, this morning. Rod was in a hurry to get started. We encountered rain, hail, snow & thought we were going to dump the bikes in a couple of road construction areas. So as a result it was slow going & needed a break after the road construction sites. Thus meeting the sherriff.
Snaggletooth Posted May 28, 2011 #13 Posted May 28, 2011 Good to hear from you. You got me hooked now and will be following your trip. Ya'll ride safe now. Mike
friesman Posted May 28, 2011 Author #14 Posted May 28, 2011 Its good to hear that you guys are safe and sound, sux that your weather is so wet and cold so far, hopefully it will change for the better soon. take care, Brian
mini-muffin Posted May 28, 2011 #15 Posted May 28, 2011 Well glad you are doing ok even with the weather. You both be careful. Margaret
Phoneman1981 Posted May 28, 2011 #16 Posted May 28, 2011 Hello: I am enjoying following your trip. Take care.
Black Owl Posted May 30, 2011 #17 Posted May 30, 2011 Anyone have any news on Rocket? According to his spot, he is still somewhere around Salmon, ID
friesman Posted May 30, 2011 Author #18 Posted May 30, 2011 I think he has been spending a couple of days with Teri and Irv waiting for weather to warm up and dry out. I think the plan was to start out today and head to MN. but I dont know any schedule. Brian
pakidaho Posted May 31, 2011 #19 Posted May 31, 2011 We seem to have a couple of extra Canadians hanging around. Wonder if there is any connection? Seems like they are happy with food, homebrew, and the neighbor lady Rod has taken a fancy to... We just didn't feel right sending them off riding into the snowstorm, so we subdued them with beer and company. Worked so far. We like them, they are polite, and don't seem to require any type of tasering or other control devices. On the whole they are well behaved. Oh wait...there is the whole Rod and the neighbor lady exception... Teri, the redheaded part of Pakidaho Anyone have any news on Rocket? According to his spot, he is still somewhere around Salmon, ID
friesman Posted May 31, 2011 Author #20 Posted May 31, 2011 OOPS!!! just had a look at Pauls map and it looks like they just took a worng turn at Albuquerque, (well, maybe it was Salmon....) i think they are on the way to Bozeman now, tho Brian
Bubber Posted June 1, 2011 #21 Posted June 1, 2011 He must be sight seeing today cause he is moving like a snail. But heck what's the hurry he has all summer...... that is if it every gets here. Ride safe Paul and look out for them killer roosters in LaPorte.
dray Posted June 2, 2011 #22 Posted June 2, 2011 looks like he may have stoped for the night! still an hour and a half out of ND. them old bikes must be having trouble breathing up there:stickpoke:
Rocket Posted June 2, 2011 #23 Posted June 2, 2011 looks like he may have stoped for the night! still an hour and a half out of ND. them old bikes must be having trouble breathing up there:stickpoke: Yup, had to stop before dark, as someone had cut the trailer wiring (clean cut at an angle & no signs of abraision) during one of the stops, I now have crimp connectors to re-connect the lighting, in the morning. Otherwise I wouldn't of stopped for the night, before Nodak. No the bikes have been pushing a headwind most of the day, Rod didn't realize that until he got off the 83, while out in a open area.
Black Owl Posted June 2, 2011 #24 Posted June 2, 2011 Paul and Ron are making good headway today. They are just west of the Montana NoDak border on I94.
Rocket Posted June 4, 2011 #25 Posted June 4, 2011 Paul and Ron are making good headway today. They are just west of the Montana NoDak border on I94. Now at the PIP locale.
