Day 2 of the rally, they had an organized ride to Fish Lake. Can you believe this is just 30 miles from camp? That's the same distance I rode the day before to all those rocks. It was a better road to do some agresswive riding on, and it was green everywhere with the scent of sagebrush and pine.
The next day we went down to Escalante, but first had to climb a mountain with a 9,6000 ft summit. Nice view at the top.
Saturday was the big bike show at the rally with plenty to drool over. A nice example of a 1965 Norton Atlas. One of my favorite bikes at the event.
My camera didn't do justice to the purple metal flake or the polishing on this Commando.
My next door neighbor that week entered both of his Nortons, including this Ranger 750 with the rare low pipes. He bought this bike back in 1969 when he was 16, and just recently got it presentable and running again after lugging it around for years. It's not 100% original, but he likes it.
Here's a Norton you don't see everyday, a Hi-Rider. Yep, those bars and that seat are stock. Most owners over the years got rid of this funky looking setup, but the owner of this one likes to make sure people can see the original in the flesh.
Final post next.
