For those that were wondering...you just press and hold the Alt key and type 0176 then release the Alt key.
Better late than never...Here's a couple pics from a 4th of July day trip. Went exploring with a buddy and found some new turf around Mt. Rainier skirting the Nat'l Park Boundary... Just snuck by here and it connected to a new logging road that must have had around an 18% grade! You couldn't pay me to drive a log truck down from the landing! Don't blow this corner! My Buddy Dan celebrating Freedom, Independence, and Liberty....until the NSA reads this! Too bad the clouds were here - Mt Rainier would have taken up the whole sky!
Hey Allen, great pics, thanks for posting... What's up with that windshield? Pretty awesome! Did u fab that or purchase somewhere? Any chance of a close pic?
If you run a mac, it is "option 0" to get the °. Problem is on some browsers it does some crazy shortcut, so you have to open a word processing document and do it there, then copy and paste it.
alt 3 = ♥ alt 4 = ♦ alt 5 = ♣ alt 6 = ♠ alt 11 = ♂ alt 12 = ♀ alt 14 = ♫ alt 248 = ° OK I'll stop now....sorry

Love the blacked out look. I'm thinking of doing carbon fiber wrap on mine. we'll see how it comes out. --Chris
Medicine, what did you use up front? Vinyl or paint? I've been meaning to do the same thing, but haven't been home long enough to do it.
Saturday was flat tire repair, first oil change, and a wash. Today just ridin' More of this place... I've run into a lot of things on the road, but this was my first wagon train. Came around a corner to find some horses out front, then about eight wagons, more horses, etc. I just pulled off and took some pics and said hello. It was a 4H thing, about 62 miles in 6 days planned, this was day My very first water crossing. I know, not a big deal, but hey, this stuff is new to me. The water falls are getting harder to find... Home the aptly named pipeline road. Excellent day, bike is running fantastic.
Now for a little contrast, this is out by Kitt Peak Observatory. This road goes up the front side and there is a paved road to the observatory. I will not do this solo, too much to go wrong and be alone out in the desert. I did a partial to check difficulty and it is medium to moderate, and maybe even black diamond toward the top. The observatory. Some Crotch rockets were coming down the hill as I was going up. Some great twisties to play on, the Terra loves them alot. View from the top backside
This is how I go to one of the towns near me. First past this body of water, then down a fun curvy road
13 hour day on the Terra today. I've been wanting to try a section of the Washington Back Country Discovery Route, but haven't had the time when the weather's been good. I figured I'd go out today and do the first half of section 1 to see how it went. I'm thinking about doing the whole thing, from the Oregon Border to the Canadian Boder, later this year. I wanted to see how the tracks worked in my GPS, see how good the Butler map, was, and get a feel for the ride. The first section is the least spectacular, but I enjoyed the day a lot. I rolled out about 7:20 AM, home about 8:15PM. 324 miles, 100ish were gravel. I ended up doing all of section 1, and slabbed it back. Everything worked great. About 120 miles of interstate, mostly 65, one section @ 70. Bike just loves to run. All of the forest stuff went well, most of it running along in 2nd or 3rd. I'm not super fast off pavment, my rolling average for the WABDR section was in the mid 20s. Detoured mid way to the town of Trout Lake for gas and lunch. Had a really good chicken sandwich at the cafe colocated with the Chevron. Ran the spot this trip, a rough map here... https://spotwalla.com/tripViewer.php?id=758251ecae697d34a And some pics...

Got out for a 175mi ride on Saturday. I rode a good section of the old Naches Wagon Trail and explored a lot of old fire roads. I couldn't be happier with the way the bike is set up now. I wasn't sure how that Hidenau K60 Scout rear tire would do in loose gravel, rocks, dirt, and mud - but I got a say I was impressed! I actually felt more confident on the gravel roads then on my MT21 rear. I crossed paths with a group of 4 on KTM 450's and 300's in a section of single track - you should have seen the look on their faces when they saw the Husky in there High Mountain Prarie Perfect Terra-tory And a little History...
Had not heard of that, so I googled it, found this, http://easternwashingtonadventures.com/Public_Land/Naches-Wagon-Trail.html Interesting history. Thanks for the great pictures HARDER1!
