"Harley Guys are Nice Guys too." So we're up here checking out the Serkle for IZ17 and Beartooth Harley Davidson gifted us motorcycles for the day (very cool of them). Among other places, we rode Beartooth Pass. Wow, the scenery was absolutely majestic. There was plenty of great twisties and switchbacks, but my favorite part was the miles of amazing sweepers. If you've never ridden Beartooth Pass, add it to your bucket list... and check it off your bucket list at IZ17!! The Beartooth Pass Summit is nick-named "Top of the World." It was pretty windy up there; in the pic below, we are clinging to the summit sign to avoid being blown away!   |

But seriously, I so hope I'm able to align all the right planets and stars and make it to the Serkle next year, looks like ya'll have picked a great place for it!

I wonder... am I the only person that's been around here since before Inzane 1 that's never attended one of 'em?

I don't know if you're the only one, but it is definitely a record that needs to be broken. |

I don't know if you're the only one, but it is definitely a record that needs to be broken. I hope no one breaks that record!  It is certainly a run that needs to be terminated.  |

Was cool but pleasant on the Beartooth on our way back from InZane XV.  Connecting some dots and making some soft assumptions, XVII could be one long or two short days travel for me. |

Unfortunately, I'm a member of this club. Doesn't look like XVII will change it either. Google Maps puts Billing MT at 32 hours (2,145 miles) on I-90 one way. That's w/o stops or traffic. Maybe XIIX will be the one. |
