Low of 61° with a high of 81°.
Most of the day it was in the low 70’s.
Excellent riding weather. Lots of
smoke/haze. We pretty much road from
Forsyth to our stop in Missoula. As
interstate riding goes, it was better than most. Some sections were sweepers.
Got a text from
Kevin. His parts to fix his bike did not
come in.

miles.
Down part of
the day was Kevin Q’s u-joint failed on his ST1300. Good part – Honda dealer 35 miles away and
they have it 80% ready to repair once UPS arrives tomorrow. Greg, Russ and I continued on per Kevin’s
request. Once his bike is fixed,
hopefully tomorrow, he will plot a route to meet at a days ending point.
Other than
being HOT all has gone well for the other 3 of us.
Overnight in
Forsyth, Montana.
Our trip got
started on 8-12 at about 11:15 AM from Montfort. I met Greg and we rode up to Lanesboro arriving
at 2:00. While unpacking I had an empty
saddle bag that was suppose to have all of my clothes, toiletries and other
needed items. That bag was sitting in my
hallway in Montfort. A real DAH
moment. My good buddy Tom drove up to
join the group in his car. A few minutes of chuckles and he drove me home and
back after retrieving my forgotten items.
Today was
pretty uneventful. We stopped in Fargo,
ND to visit the widow of a good riding friend, Colleen Collins. Had a nice visit and then road the final 90
miles to our motel in Jamestown, ND
We had a low of 50° to a high of 96° and a stiff front quartering wind.
