Well all, since I didn't want to overwhelm you all sifting through a huge ride report, I'll sum things up shortly here, and if you want more details, read the blog post. If you don't mind a little bit of a read, just skip this. One thing I forgot to mention in the blog was that the park was FILLED with Harley's coming from Sturgis. I had to be one of only a handful of non HD cruisers. Dad felt a little more at home on his Concours. There were plentiful Gold Wings and a few big BMW's running around the park.
As stated in the title, I just got back from Yellowstone. Being an Idaho Native, I really don't care for the park. But MAN. It is cool on bikes. Whole different perspective. And the little Savage just ate up the asphalt. I've ticked off my first 400 miles on this bad boy now and I'm in love. He just purrs. Being only 5' 4" and 130, I was super comfy for all of it. Although If we hit long stretches of highway, I had to stop every 50 miles or so or else my butt would just go numb.
Learned so much about how this bike handles, and even more about just riding in general. So many cool people out there to swap stories. with. Parked next to some HD's at Old Faithful who went to Sturgis from Florida, and were on their way to Cali. That would take some dedication. They said they would be gone about six weeks.
I think I could do about a week on a bike and I would be spent. Crazy.
