We met up with friends in Wyoming that own several motorcycles. They are extremely trusting and generous to let us use their bikes. We spent several days riding bikes around Wyoming and Montana. In fact, we covered many of the roads on bikes that are pictured above with the C6. It was very cool to be able to hit these roads with a motorcycle AND C6 as well... no better way to enjoy such roads.

Below are just a few shots that show one of the bikes we used... a Honda Shadow 1100.

The total trip took almost three weeks, but at least a whole week was spent hanging out with our friends in Wyoming, doing local stuff, riding motorcycles, etc. We also spent a few days in Waterton Park, Alberta, and a few days near Glacier National Park... did some hiking, etc. If you wanted to just burn through it all, it could be done in way less than three weeks of course. Depends on how far you need to travel to get to that area. All I can say is that it's WELL WORTH making the trip!
   

Believe me, I did not keep the car clean!   You should see it now. Maybe I'll go take some pics this week before I wash it. It's super DIRTY! There are so many bugs plastered to the front end that you can hardly see the paint... it's pretty funny. I'm gonna need a chisel to get them off. The front wheels look darker than comp gray wheels at this point from brake dust, etc.

The car looks relatively clean in some of the pics because many of these pics were taken only halfway through the trip... plus if I remember correctly, it had rained shortly before some of these shots were taken, effectively washing the car off a bit. But the car is dirtier than ever right now. I actually kinda like the "weathered" look... gives the car a mean vibe... it looks like it just completed LeMans or something.

EDIT: Here's a pic of some bugs midway through the trip... it was worse after getting home. Took hours to clean.
