New Bike

Shock horror, walked out the hotel to the bike this morning, Tuesday, to discover it had been given a nice new white paint job, closer inspection revealed it was white over with frost. A sluggish starter motor made me pleased I'd replaced the battery before starting this trip. A gentle start on the journey as we cautiously rode over or around wet frosty patches on the road, but a blue sky and quickly rising temperature soon dried things out for our ride up the Chief Joseph Highway and the Beartooth Highway to our next stopover at Cook City. Not sure a town of 100 people qualifies as a city and despite first impressions making me think of the film Deliverance, it's proving to be a very friendly and nice place. We had coffee in Cody just past Buffalo Bills Hotel. Some fantastic roads today, especially the Bear Tooth Highway past a place called Top of the World and it really felt like that.
