Woke up early in the morning unbelievably sore thinking there is no way I could climb back on the bike. The KLR is not known as a comfortable bike, many people upgrade the seat as their fist investment, but on the short days in the saddle I never had an issue. We had a great breakfast and hit the road crossing the Montana and Idaho border around noon. The weather was perfect the scenery spectacular. The mountainous well forested regions of Montana opened up to the expansive open rolling hills of Idaho.
First State to State Crossing
Idaho
We tried to stay off the interstate and follow back country roads. The road south along Snake River was an empty, well maintained, curvy stretch of road.
One rider keeps his helmet clean, the other doesn’t.
We got into Pocatello as the sun was going down. It was a long day riding by my body was getting use to sitting on the bike and the previous days aches and pains had melted away. Ry seems to cruise easily on his VFR and amazingly for a 4 cylinder gets better mileage than my KLR – something to be said about fuel injection.
