Default Mountain Road + New RKC = Heaven

Picked up my new RKC. Took a couple of pics on my first ride up the canyon.

I did change them out. Just looking for something a little different. I kind of like the look. I also went with the 10" chubby handlebars, SEII's, Sundowner seat and various bits and pieces of chrome. I am currently waithing for my detachable Tour Pack and rider backrest to get here.

Darin, I agree with Terry and Dirtnap. Beauty of a ride and gorgeous countryside. May I ask the location of this mountain road?

This is Logan Canyon in northern Utah. If you follow the canyon all the way up (about a 45-60 min ride from Logan, Utah) there is a great big beautiful lake at about 6000 ft. in the tops of the mountains called Bear Lake. There is usually not that much traffic, really a beautiful ride.

Bear Lake Details
Elevation ....... 5,904 feet
Length ............. 20 miles
Width ................ 8 miles
Shoreline ........ 48 miles
Surface ......... 112 miles
Depth .............. 208 feet
Volume . 6,500,000 acre feet

Factoids
Bear Lake has more endemic fish than any other lake in North America.
Limestone particles suspended in the lake give the lake its beautiful turquoise hue.

Ditto that on the sharing. Hope you really enjoy the new ride and looks like you are already putting the goodies to her, beautiful bike and beautiful part of the country as well. As I say to my friends it's gotta be FTFH (Finer Than Frog Hair).

Ride Safe,
