In 1975 I rode across Canada on my new 750 Honda.Being from Chicago I had never ridden curves much less mountain switchbacks so the Rockies were a big learning experience.Im still learning.
Back in the day, I rode from E. Lansing, Michigan to Denver to visit my cousin, then rode through the Rockies for a few weeks. Yeah, the roads were a big change from the midwest, and the mountains, well what can you say. It made me the biker I am today. Wished I had a camera back then. Too much fun!
