....Montana. My brother in law and I are on the 5th day of a 10 day 4500 mile ride from Texas thru New Mexico, Colorado, Utah Wyoming, Montana, South Dakota, and back down thru Wyoming, and Colorado and back to Texas. We just rode over Beartooth Pass yesterday in the snow--- it was fantastic. Pulled in to Red Lodge Montana at sundown last nite in the pouring rain. Got ready to leave the motel this am to head to Sturgis thru the northern part of Wyoming. I happened to look at my rear tire and it was slick ! Only 8000 miles and it looks like a drag racing tire. The closest dealership is Beartooth HD here in Billings Montana so that is where I am now. They are trying to work me in so it will be about 1-1/2 to 2 hours before we are back on the road. See you later.
