Le Mans II in Yellowstone
« on: May 28, 2018, 08:50:03 AM »
I saw a Le Mans II (not a CX) in West Yellowstone last night, road through town in a group of bikes heading north to Bozeman. Bike looked great, if your on WG say hello!

I caught up the riding party this morning. The owner is from Vancouver B.C.  It’s an all original genuine LM II. He is going to email me some pictures when he gets home. The bike is in amazing condition and he rides it like it was intended to be ridden.

Believe they would be my friends who are riding through Yellowstone at this very moment...under the flag of Club LDS :)

The Owner of the LeMan is a HUGE HUGE HUGE stock bike nut...None of his bikes will have any aftermarket parts on them...

they are on a 7 days trips thru the 5 national parks of the states.

Just in case you saw another bike, believe this is what you saw LOL





I was supposed to be on that trip too...but wife is having a bit of issue with her pregnancy so had to bail out...:S

Okay...so my few hours turned into a day as I was working in the garage and passed out afterward LOL...

Anyway, here are what I have from his wall

Day 1: Richmond to Spokane













So they left on Friday of 2018-May-25 early morning to beat the traffic thru border and head down to Spokane...

The weather cooperated this time as a lot of our trips from previous year rained on us.

So here is where they stopped for lunch in Winthrop, WA

Day 2: Across Washington, Idaho & Montana states

Went by Montana HWY 200 (Way to Heaven) & I90

It rained about 10 mins in between

















During the trip, one of the bike, BMW 1200RT ran into a bit of hiccup with its battery decided to pooped on us.

Luckily, a near by gas station has his motorcycle battery size!





One of the group rider did relive video through facebook

Okay!!! Boss isn't here, so time for Day 5 update!

Day 5: Yellowstone back to Canada Through Alberta!

He had issued with no getting gas in the morning. Figured it was stuck float needle and not allowing fuel to sucked up.
