My dad and I did some cruising around some fun paved and not paved roads in Wyoming, Montana and Idaho.
We did Beartooth Highway from Red Lodge to Cooke City, then back along Chief Joseph Scenic Byway. Both spectacular roads. Stopped to fly at Sunlight Bridge, the highest bridge in Wyoming (video coming soon).
Then spent a month in Montana where we rode up to Willow Mnt Lookout and then on into Burnt Fork Reservoir (flew there as well).
Took a day trip down to ghost town Bannock Mt, former state capital, then back up over Pioneer Mountains Scenic Byway to Anaconda then over Skalkaho Pass in the dark (not ideal). Not in this video but we came back to Skalkaho falls later, and I flew there as well. Then we did a two day trip from Darby Mt down to and through the Magruder Corridor which is a narrow strip of navigable FS land through a Wilderness area coming out near Elk City ID. Next day we rode out along the South Fork of the Clearwater to Grangeville, then north on Highway 14 and 13, to Highway 12 and back home on 100 miles of twisty roads alongside the Clearwater River and the Lochsa River (Lochsa and Selway join to become the Middle Fork of the Clearwater), and over Lolo Pass.
We did a bunch more late afternoon trips which I didn't catch on video, but did fly in some more places. Hopefully will get all these flights into a video soon.
I'm riding a 2015 Triumph Tiger 800XCx and my dad a 2006 BMW R1200Gs. Yes the LEDs on my dad's bike are a bit distracting to the camera. Your eyes don't normally see the blinking (except out of the corner of your eye), but the camera causes them to appear to be strobing.
Recorded with GoPro Hero6 with Superview and stabilization On.
Yes I wish I had captured more natural bike sound, but I had to record that with my phone and sync with the GoPro video, and I recorded a lot more video than audio clips. I need a good remote microphone setup for my GoPro, but they make it super annoying ( needs a huge dongle to use any external mic).
