I'm guessing the "long way" is up through Salmon and north on 93? let me know and maybe we could meet up and ride a bit. _____________________________ -Dave 2007 Honda CBR 600rr (White/Silver) -Akrapovic Titanium/Carbon Fiber SLip-On -Proton Flushmount signals 1999 Chevy Silverado 1500 (White) (in reply to dwhite645) Post #: 5

Lost Trail pass and the drive on Hwy 93 up through the Bitterroot is awesome. Just a suggestion though. Not sure where exactly you were planning on going. _____________________________ -Dave 2007 Honda CBR 600rr (White/Silver) -Akrapovic Titanium/Carbon Fiber SLip-On -Proton Flushmount signals 1999 Chevy Silverado 1500 (White) (in reply to dpeach06) Post #: 6
