71243: Lost in the 50's
The lost in the 50's in Sandpoint will be from may 14-17. We do have some great rides around here. Stunning scenery, gotta dress for cool weather, but it gets nice from july thru sept. If ya come back this way, find me in the anonymous book under sagle, Idaho (just outside sandpoint). I think there's only a couple of members listed in sagle. I've offered a spare room to traveling members. Always nice to meet riders/share stories/gawk at bikes.

Nice! How long have you had that bike - and are you the one who had it repainted?

An architect in Calgary had it painted Ford Red. It was originally blue. The price of gas has gone down quite a bit from when this was taken a couple of years ago.
I'm not taking this one to Billings, the 2003 K1200GT instead.

Nice! I had an '88 K100RT as my first K-bike, and have four now: a K75S, K75 standard, K1, and K1200RS. The K12 can be the Devil's own machine if you and it are feeling a bit frisky.

I found exactly that when I rode between Livingston, Idaho and Enterprise, Oregon last summer. Scrubbed the edges of my boots while still on the pegs and wasn't really pushing it. Terrific ice cream at the Boggan's Oasis by the river at the bottom of the canyon, by the way. Being plus 42 C might have had something to do with it.

Dave, that's part of one of our regular day rides from here around Hell's Canyon. The
stretch you referred to is called the Rattlesnake Grade and Boggan's is at the crossing of the Grande Ronde River. My '83 R80ST is particularly fond of that ride. I'm sure that's all old hat to you also Greg.

Yes, a most excellent piece of road with little traffic.
That whole north-eastern Oregon, western central Idaho, Hells Canyon area is an undiscovered country of fabulous motorcycle riding.

Undiscovered Country
And I'm planning on discovering some of it in May. Missoula to Grangeville, then to Elk City and back, Whitebird to McCall. The next day to NF39 and Hell's Canyon Overlook, then Joseph and Walla Walla.
Destination Highways will not have an Oregon map for another year and a half, after they finish southern California. Butler will have an Oregon map completed before the Billings MOA Rally in July.
