<\/a><\/div>\nDisclaimer: Some of this post might not be about motorcycles, but I\u2019ll do my best. The self-appointed CEO of COTT won\u2019t allow if it\u2019s not moto content. <\/p>\n
If the Harley Roadking is a La-Z-Boy, the XR seat is a broken lawn chair. But it\u2019s really fun so it\u2019s a fair trade off. <\/p>\n
Roadking is for comfort, the XR is for fun. Which makes a pretty strong case for needing both bikes. I think a cruiser is in Ed\u2019s future. Or mine. <\/p>\n
Which brings me to my next point – It\u2019s time I learn to ride. Ed won\u2019t teach me (I write this with THE BIGGEST eye roll), so taking volunteers who will. <\/p>\n
It\u2019s surprising how many people at gas stations go out of their way to talk about bike stuff. Most people ask if we rode here from PA. <\/p>\n
When Ed\u2019s not around people assume it\u2019s mine, so I go with it and say:
\n– \u201cYea she\u2019s been really good to me.\u201d
\n– \u201c75 on highway all day, and the technical dirt bike stuff too.\u201d
\n– \u201cI have to make some adjustments to the carb but overall I can\u2019t complain.\u201d <\/p>\n
Dirt biking up mountains is incredible, but nothing beats a country bar and a cold bud light. Some of the best parts of Montana are the remote Cowboy towns. <\/p>\n
So far I\u2019ve beaten Ed in pool, a beer taste test, and music trivia several times over. <\/p>\n
Has anyone ever seen someone bite into an ice cream cone? Scroll for the visual. *Warning: it\u2019s uncomfortable.<\/p>\n
Phillipsburg & Granite Ghost Town were really fun but smokey at the top of the mountain. <\/p>\n
Sailing Flathead Lake was incredible. Huge shout out to Colin for taking us on the boat. <\/p>\n
Working on convincing Ed he needs a boat too. Feel free to help a girl out and drop some hints as well. Thanks friends. <\/p>\n
Didn\u2019t get to camp as much as we wanted. No campfires allowed due to the wildfires (understandably), and camping without a fire is tough. It\u2019s cold as fuck without one. <\/p>\n
Montanans are built different. They don\u2019t feel the cold. They wear shorts and flip flops in 50 degrees, while waiting in line for ice cream. And they hate Californians SO MUCH. <\/p>\n
Stayed on a dude ranch for 3 days outside Wyoming. Riding horses might have been the highlight of the trip. <\/p>\n
Yellowstone is incredible. 10\/10 would recommend. But only on a motorcycle so you can pass Bison traffic. Also not nearly as crowded as I expected it to be. <\/p>\n
