Yellowstone is a hop skip and a jump away. I’m in Utah and don’t ride as much as I did in socal years ago. 6 months are dead time.

Yellowstone is a hop skip and a jump away. I’m in Utah and don’t ride as much as I did in socal years ago. 6 months are dead time.

The Old Faithful parking lot is 186 miles from my driveway. My wife and I have made two trips there on motorcycles and dozens of trips in our truck. We have a new puppy, so we only made one Yellowstone trip before the puppy was added to the household this year. We have lifetime passes now, so it's just a matter of picking a day with good weather for a trip.

We have our motorcycle insurance arranged for reduced cost over the Winter months. I replaced the battery on the SR400 and took it out a couple times. The battery on the DR650 needs a charge before it can go out. The Fat Bob is ready anytime, but it didn't get out this year.

I regret that at 69 and in poor shape, I'm so close to Moab as a biking destination. I also missed the boat for a ride to Sturgis. I'm not as disappointed in that since the social scene at the destination isn't something I normally do anyway.
