    Default Where did you ride this last weekend?

    For me, it was a 1200 mile jaunt through S. Colorado and N. New Mexico!

    I think I recall someone saying that a GS couldn't do the high, off road passes in Colorado...unless the rider was a bit nuts...

    Glad I take that as a challenge!

    Cheers!

    No rides for me!
    I had to fly up here to Seattle for a conference.
    But I did see some AWESOME looking forest around Mt Rainier as we flew over.
    Does that count?

    Nice Andrew; I didnt know you were planning this little jaunt.

    Engineer Pass is over 12k if I remember. How did the bike perform (being non-injected).

    Photoleif,

    That was a funny shot

    Yup,

    Engineer is up at about 13K and the pass is at 12,800. The carb'ed airhead did just great at that altitude!

    Now...for a little sneak peak...I just worked a deal on a new ride this morning...I'll be movin' up in the world of BMWs!



    So, if anyone wants a "round the world ready" 1988 R100GS...speak up! Because of my garage...my moto situation is like a Highlander...there can be only one!
