PNW Dual Sport: Summer Opener 2017

I hauled ass up to the PNW Dual Sport Summer Opener! 
Briareos and I, fully loaded, pretended to blend in with all of the Dirt Bikes… safe to say we got a few looks lol
We’re rebels like that. 

THE PILGRIMAGE: A SHORT SUMMARY

THE PILGRIMAGE: A SHORT SUMMARY

34 Days and 3,500 miles later I’m much tanner than I was when I left, Lazarus has a few new parts and a few parts that are still missing.I have met a crazy amount of amazing people who live in this beautiful state, and a few that I really didn’t want to say goodbye to.

There are adventures everywhere. 

Get out and explore your world. You don’t even have to go very far. Just within your own state, you’ll be surprised by the amount of opportunities that will present themselves if you just get out and meet them. 
Often times you’ll meet them when everything goes wrong. Adventure is what happens when your plan goes awry....

THE PILGRIMAGE: DAY 23 & 24

THE PILGRIMAGE: DAY 23 & 24

I hung out in Red Lodge for a little while, ended up talking to another guy who was also doing the “moto-vagabond thing” as he called it, but he has a giant brand new BMW 1200. It was a little funny to talk to him, because the biggest problem he’s had on his trip since leaving Indiana was getting ‘bogged down’ in some mud in the badlands. He had to wait for an hour for the mud to dry, and then got free. Yup.....

THE PILGRIMAGE: DAY 3 & 4

THE PILGRIMAGE: DAY 3 & 4

Left Rexford fairly early and rode the East side of Lake Koocanusa. It was overcast and a bit chilly, but everything was fine. I back tracked to Libby to get gas, before I hit Forest Service Road 763. 

This little jaunt through the Kootenai National Forest between Libby and Olney was the best part of the day. It sprinkled on and off but for the most part I was distracted by some fun twisties and then some fun dirt (which btw is even more fun with proper tires ha!)  ....

THE TIME INBETWEEN: The Pilgrimage Prequel

THE TIME INBETWEEN: The Pilgrimage Prequel

The trip from Moab, Utah to the Bitterroot Valley to get Lazarus ready for the Pilgrimage. 

I find a Missoula man in the middle of nowhere in Utah, I get lost then adopted by strangers, and Lazarus's stator decides it is it's time to die.
