    Not the ones with the big long teeth and claws, they show up silently and trash everything in sight when they smell food. They have ripped doors right off of cars to get to the snack that people have left inside. I don't think an F6B would fare very well to that kind of onslaught.

    I am glad we will not be roughing it, but good advice, I will not leave any food stuffs in my bike or trailer. Thanks

    hey choptop....while in Cody or West Yellowstone....make sure you all do the Beartooth Pass Highway from Red Lodge MT to Cooke City MT....both ways....NO other 65 miles (one way) in the U.S like it.....yes:

    also ride the Chief Joseph Scenic Byway between Cody and Cooke City MT....amazing scenery

    Make lodging arrangements early and prepare to be baptised at least once a day.
    Good that your trip is in June as a snow machine is the best way around that country in May.
    Have good rain gear at the ready. Beartooth is a must and Sunlight basin too Cody is great but can be very windy. Avoid night riding as the deer, elk, antelope, ect move and feed at night.
    Enjoy

    Our ride master/planner is a riding fool, if it's their and he wants ti ride it, we'll ride it. He is cramming as much has he can and still allow for some good clean party time. I am just along for the ride on this one.
    All of the people on this trip are members of our riding club, they love to ride, he loves to plan and lead the rides, did 325 yesterday w/them, sore as sht after that one.

    Lodging has been booked for a couple of months now. I don't ride after dusk in Sconnie, deer have gotten to many people I know.

    Trailer Bearings

    Just to be on the safe side I would pack an extra set of bearings for the wheels on your Bushtec. I have a Bushtec and haven't had a problem but all of my riding buddies (who also have Bustec) tell me to pack an extra set of bearings. You never know and I'm the last guy that wants to be stranded on the side of the road out in the middle of nowhere because of a wheel bearing.

    Just a suggestion......Have a great trip..........

    Ride Safe but Often!!

    I would take the tools necessary to remove the trailer tire and have a extra tube or two... Did you buy trailer insurance from your car/bike insurance company??? Cheap!!! About $50 a year!
