Day 5

We all decided to go up and do Beartooth. I told the guys that I wanted to go up myself. I was ready to go, they weren't going to be leaving for a while.

I head out with my cameras, and my gopro. I stop a few times at overlooks, Then I pull over at one, I put the kickstand down, or so I thought.... and.... yes.... it goes down... there is a few people up there, they run to my aid. help me lift my 800 lb bike up...  My left mirror breaks off. They try to help me put it back on, but, it is stripped .

That's it..... I'm done for the day.  I have to head back down... I do.... as I'm heading down.... I see Mike and Lou.... they are heading up.... I smile and wave... thinking about... how upset Mike is going with be with me... Dumb... dumb.... dumb.....

I am thinking I'm going to have to head to Harley dealer... an hour away …. I see a shop I stop... they just sell merchandise. She told me to go to Napa . I do… It is closed for lunch.  I go to town eat lunch and head back to Napa... as I am I get called over by they people that helped me on top of Beartooth. Mike. the gentleman who helped me... said he met my Mike and Lou... and he told them what happened to me.... I'm Like MIKE!!!! What the Heck!!!   That's it... I'm never speaking to you again!!! LOL... I'm pretty flustered....

I go to Napa... the owner believe it or not fixes it for me and charges me $1.00.  I'm in disbelief … I offer him more. He refuses.... I thank him and tell him I will say some prayers for him..

I go on my way... Now is my time to go up to Beartooth.  I try calling Mike, and Lou.... No luck... I leave a message.... I go back up the mountain.... I keep going right past where I had my.... incident. When I do stop I am blown away..... This is what I see…..

This is me at the Beartooth Summit. 

it was a great ride.  I will be a while going though pictures... 

Even though I had the mishap... I'm ok with it. It turned out ok. The Man from Napa saved my butt... my next step would have been going to the HD dealership. I was saved that trip, and I was still able to go to Beartooth Highway.  Which is why we came.  

The views were amazing.  I hope that I was able to capture it.  Too tired too look at all the photos tonight.…   Good Night..
