Default Bike Camping trip, CO, Yellowstone, Badlands

Well, I'm taking the SGS on its and my first motorcycle camping trip. I've camped and taken motorcycle trips, time to combine them.

Left St. Louis this morning. Did 741 miles on I70 and stopped for my first camp in Flagler, CO. I was just out this way a couple days before last Memorial Day on my Wide Glide. I got a late start on that trip but it took me two days to get into Colorado Springs then. I could have ridden all the way there in one go on the SGS.

Loaded bike.

Enjoy, looks like you got a bike load.

Sound like fun, I'm jealous. I'd love to be out on the road. Be safe and have fun.
If you go thru Buffalo, WY try the rib plate at the Dash Inn.
So you doing Beartooth and
Cheif Joseph Hwy and the Tetons?

Yep, what he said. When I saw those rib plates, I had to have one.
