August 2023 • Beartooth Pass •
Well, I knocked this one randomly off the old bucket list. ✅ Old Shovel and I made it to 10,947 Ft or 3,337M. I had been wearing my Beartooth pass vintage Harley shirt every day for weeks now on the road. I never thought when I was leaving for Ohio back in July for a weekend trip that I would have ridden my Shovelhead to the Summit of these mountains wearing my favourite shirt no less. Here I am. the Motorcycle gods were good to me. The sun was out. It was windy, but perfect conditions. I’ve been told this pass can be treacherous, weather can change on a dime but not today. I was so proud of my bike for hauling me up these peaks. Only a slight idle adjustment for altitude and thats all we needed. Not the place for breakdowns lol.. pictures and video of course do not capture the epicness of this place….It was a beautiful moment to notice how far one can go.
I rarely get my picture taken, so lots of butt shots with greasy oil rags hanging out of my pocket on this post haha. A nice woman (who was on her own worldly adventure) took pixelated pictures of me riding and standing next to my bike with her phone. Thank you. What a day of solid riding. What a day to be alive. All that matters.. en route to Red Lodge Montana.. #shovelheadadventures #harleyfuckingdavidson #beartoothpass #montana #wyoming #solomotoadventures #forestgump #walkabout #feelalive #justdoit #vanson
A bucket list ride for me! Wasn't able to knock it off on my 2022 Yellowstone trip since it was closed due to horrible flooding and bridges being taken out and red lodge town being under water... North East gate was closed. Looks like an epic trip and love the matching shirt to reminisce on the bike trip memories!
