I forgot my video camera, only still photos. For perspective, here is a recent video of Chinook Pass. (Another Guzzi, Breva Sport 1200, some other guys video I copped from the Moto International website, shot in the last few weeks or so.)

Stop for gas - Selah, Washington. 'Twas fookin' hot on the other side of the mountains. I'm happy to live on the cool side...

Great ride. We all switched bikes a couple of times during the day. The Stelvio really is an effortless carver. The new Cali is a marvel. Once I found the sweet spot position-wise, I was in torque nirvana... I still love my GRiSO best though... What a great day!

Yikes!  Pete got him a Cali 1400?  The sculpture business must be gooood...

Yeah, well, it's actually Esther's.  Pete was just borrowing it for the day.  (And Pedro and I got to borrow it for a bit too...)

So, they traded in her Stone, huh?  I think it's great that Esther's confidence has increased to where she's willing to pilot that big beast.  Good for her!

Great photo's buddy and looks a great ride.
Must remember to take pictures when on a ride I usually forget.
