During our 1st exploration of the Flaming Gorge while headed to the west coast during 2017, a local resident of Mountain View, Wyoming (met him after we invaded their local shooting range and confiscated their range lean-to to camp under during a mountain storm) had told us about a trail thru the Uinta mountains of Utah that, due to our obvious bend towards the "rougher then normal outdoorsy lifestyle" (his words) thought we would enjoy. After telling us about his successful Elk and,, get this,, MOOSE hunting expeditions into that vast mountain range there was no way,, no how - Tip, Tweeks and I were gonna leave the area without taking an extra couple days to further our exploration therein.. Placed by the hand of God Himself as a backdrop to the often overlooked and seldom ridden Flaming Gorge area and even though the Uinta mountains are a very strange bunch in that it is the only mountain range in our country that run east to west,, we found them to be absolutely nothing short of spectacular.. Here the 3 of us are again,,,, all alone,,,, high on a mountain out CTFW..

My ride highlite of 2017 (which was really the only one coz I had no bike) was when we were camped in Sevierville, TN. I rented a Harley and hooked up with @Zzyzx and we rode the Smoky mountains, Tail of the Dragon and a few other places which I've forgotten the name of.

Met a real sweet gal that loves to ride so we headed north to the root beer run and for a day at the international.

Got to ride the Smokies with SilvrT.

Picked up an 84 to rebuild.

It’s been a much better year for me. CACE6B5A-3EAC-4E0A-9ECD-E910FCABB308.jpg

IMG_0477.jpgAir Force museum near Fort Walton Beach after we got chased out of Daytona by the weather. The only long ride I got in this year, but it was a great 1900 miles. Wind so strong the ocean was sideways.

Here's a few of mine, longest trip I have taken so far. I was a little nervous but the bike held up great, no problems whatsoever! Harrison, Arkansas and nearby locales.

Took a trip to Colorado with 2 cousins on Harleys. 3000 miles in 9 days. Rained on almost every day. Snow in the pass and 99 degrees coming home through SD.

It makes a huge difference! Black absorbs all light, white reflects all light! Don't be fooled by silver, it is sort of a very light black...

Yeah but this time I didn't have to take it apart. And my paint cracked when I put it together last time but it's over all white.

Yep it's my first post. But rest assured, I have been creeping around the forums entertaining myself with everyone's posts and trying to learn as much as I can about technical stuff and riding in general. Thanks to everyone sharing the pictures, one of my favorite pastimes checking out all the different adventures and awesome places around the country and world!
