A milestone ride

August 17, 2025

With only 10 miles left, I had to get out for a ride to see the bike turn to 50,000 miles on the odometer.

I rode at to the Heights on Skyline Drive and once past Governors on Wicks it made the change.


That's lots of miles for 4 years and 4 months.  And fun miles they have been.  And, most importantly, fun, trouble-free, and safe.

After turning that milestone, I continued on and rode past Dover Park and took the bridge over the Yellowstone Rive, the Billings Northeast Bypass.  The bridge has been there for a while but only recently opened to vehicle traffic.  On the other side I rode to Coulson Road and did a big loop out to Johnson Lane and back to the bridge as I was scouting a course for a car club drive for next month.

On my way back up Wicks I saw what was almost a t-bone accident.  Check out the video and see where the oncoming car turns left across the path of the car to my right.


It was a shot mileage day.  The bike got a good bath when I got home and is ready for the next adventure.
