My old scoot in Key west.A good story goes with this pic.As we pulled up and got off the bike a local offered to take our pic with our camera.As soon as I went to hand him the camera a police car comes flying up and turns his lights on and the cop jumps out of the car.I thought I was going to see the inside of their jail for being somewhere I wasn't supposed to be.All of a sudden he starts bitching at the guy to leave the tourists alone or he is going to arrest him.Here the guy had a great plan to get back far enough to take the picture and then he would run off with your camera!I am really glad I didn't have to run him down with the Heritage!

So, did the cop end up taking the picture?  The suspense is killing me!  ;D

Good one.  But, not as funny as his joke about catching the guy on the Heritage.  har.  spyder

No, I ended up having to take the picture myself,but I was glad I didn't have to dig traces of flip flops out of my fender! Would have gave a whole new meaning to burnout!

 Rode out to Idaho this year just to ride Hwy 12. Couldn't recommend it enough. Most incredible day I've ever spent on a bike. We rode it both ways. Spent the night before at Lochsa Lodge, rode all the way to Lewiston/Clarkston, dipped our wheels into Washington and rode Hwy 12 back all the way to Missoula. Had a great steak dinner that evening to celebrate. It's a must ride for any serious traveler!

The next day we rode through west Yellowstone and over Beartooth Pass to Red Lodge, MT. Another amazing day of riding!

I have rode Beartooth Pass a couple times.  Where does 12 start and end for those curves?  Sure sounds like a must do.  I love Bearthooth.

We stayed the night in St Maries and then rode Hwy 3 to the junction of Hwy 12, then East on Hwy 12 til the end at Lolo. While I don't remember that sign, I will forever remember that ride. We had a Bald Eagle fly along the river beside us for over 2 miles as we slowed to watch.....how many times in your life will that happen?

There are actually 2 99 mile curve signs. The one you see going west on 12 is just west of Lolo Pass a few miles from the MT/ID border. The one you see coming east on 12 is just outside of Kooskia, ID. The entire trip from Missoula, MT to Lewiston/Clarkston is absolutely fantastic. We rode it both ways and I would seriously consider going out there again and riding it several more times. There are several more fantastic roads near there. The Snake River Canyon road is supposed to be great and the road from Missoula to Boise is supposed to be killer. Beautiful country!

Thanks for the information.  I am really looking at riding out west this coming Summer and doing a little bit of Sturgis on the way home.  We have rode a lot of WY and CO and SD on previous trips and only a little of MT.  We have talked about riding to Glacier several times and that area, I love the rockies, and they are so much better on a bike.
