The sun hasn't hit the bikes yet, but the bikes are ready to hit the road.
This was at a rest stop on I90 in Montana east of Billing. It was also taken shortly before Purple500 ran out of gas. Melanie made it to less than 5 miles from Billings and the bike quit. Normally she would have noticed when she hit reserve, but the wind was so bad that her bike wouldn't run without being on the "prime" position, and with that, ya use up your reserve as we found out. I told her later I wish I had gotten the camera out when I returned, but didn't know how her mood would have been. She took it in stride though, because we don't have a schedule, and don't have to be anywhere the first day.
The busy motel in Townsend Montana. Found a place with good food a block away, but walked there and didn't carry the camera. First day, 546 miles. Not bad considering the gas delays, fighting extremely strong head and side winds, and it is Melanies new longest day. This town has a great bakery that we are going to get a bite, and then head to Kalispell, MT.
