Bucks Lake/Laporte Rd's last ride over the hill this fall

[Bugnatr]

No pictures...sue me-too busy riding! I was on the KTM and my bud on his Bonnie. Won't be too much longer before snow keeps them closed for the winter.

Perfect day up Bucks Lake road, great colors below 4,000', snow off the road up top but the roads were mostly dry. 42 degrees was a bit chilly into Quincy for lunch at the Courthouse Cafe. Bullshitted with the dirt bike boys at the Chevron station before back over the hill on LaPorte road. Both had very little traffic.

If you know these roads, you know. If you don't know these roads make it a point to ride them...2 of the best.

Pretty nice roads huh? Not familiar with them. Must be in Montana? Colorado?

The forum's resident attorney will be in touch!

Glad you had a good ride, but pics would prove it wasn't just a 30 second daydream while stuck in traffic.

Sorry I missed you, I showed a friend around Napa and Alexander valley this weekend, beautiful fall colors...

Bucks lake and la Porte would have been fun also before the snow...
