It's day 4 of our Idaho BDR motorcycle adventure and today we're headed into one of the biggest highlights of the trip: the Magruder Corridor. At least, it was supposed to be a highlight...unfortunately today nearby wildfires meant that the Magruder Corridor's legendary views were all but invisible. Fortunately, the adventure bike riding was as fun as ever, but it was definitely disappointing to not be able to enjoy one of the best parts of an Idaho Backcountry Discovery Route motorcycle trip.
In the second half of the day we ran into a significant problem. Lorn's Ducati Desert X started overheating and we could not figure out why. We were able to get his bike to the town of Darby, MT...but were forced to end day 4 of our Idaho BDR trip at a motel in town.
Does this Ducati Desert X breakdown mean the end of our Idaho BDR motorcycle adventure? Subscribe to find out!
