It would take me 3 or 4 day trips just to get there.  I was their a few years ago.  It was a blast to ride.

I've never been there but have been wanting to go. I'm a few hours away but finding the time to go seems to be the problem for me.

One of these years, if I can keep #17 out of the ditch  :wink: ,
I intend to get over there to ride the Dragon. Until then, I'll have to be content with the nice twisties in the Kootenays in British Columbia.  :grin:

I'm game for another Kootenay ride...late August through September. We could do a nice 4+ day ride covering Lola Pass & Libby dam in Montana, and North of Coleville Wash and on up through Kootenays.

Anyone game, The Lolo is a blast, and I would love to ride it again.

Been thinking of making a run out to Lolo for a weekend ride with my son one of these weekends soon. He doesn't have enough time with his new job to have any vacay, so we'd have to leave here on a Friday night and head east.

But I'm game for a 4-dayer in Aug or Sept!

Hey Red, let me know when you and Pauly are planning the Lolo, and I'll try to meet you. I away the next 3 weekends (back Aug 12th) but after that I'm clear.

Yea, but we should try another Bandit get together.

I'm up for it too but:
AA) gotta get clearance from my physio gal.....and I kinda got a hankering to keep going back to see her....she makes my shoulder feel better AND my optic nerves too, if ya get my drift.  :wink:
BB) I've got a family thing I've gotta do from ~Sept 05 through to ~Sept 12. One of my nieces is getting married and I've gotta show up....or else, SWMBO tells me. :lol:  :lol:

Probably some date after the 12th would work best for me, assuming the shoulder is copacetic. You guys firm things up and keep me/us posted. I can let Bandit Bruce, Big Al and Roman know about the dates too. I'm sure they'd be interested although I hear that Bruce is planning a ride to the Beartooth sometime in mid-Sept.....but nothing written in stone on that one yet.

I am glad that I got to ride it a couple of years ago when there wasn't so much heat.  It would be funny if they moved the Honda Hoot somewhere else.
