Decided to get the heck out of the dust pit of the southwest and took my 1098 up to Ouray and Telluride this weekend.  They had MASSIVE storms but it did clear up a bit for some fun knee droppin on the Million Dollar Highway (Red Mountain pass) between Silverton and Ouray.

Here are some pics:


What, you mean a superbike isn't designed for mud?


Now THIS is a toy!

That reminds me of this picture:


Odd coincidence eh?

I agree with the mud but regular trails aren't that bad

Nice pics Duc..

What brand exhaust do you have on that 1098???

That looks just awesome

Thanx for sharing

Really cool pictures.  I'd love to make it out there with my bike sometime.

Beautiful area. I haven't been out there in years but what I remember most is LOT'S of traffic, double yellow line passing, and the occasianal radar trap. Did you got to  Silverton as well?

Telluride is amazing!
Geographically my favorite place in Colorado.

You kids have fun this weekend, and have a  for me.

Yep did Silverton too.

Traffic was surprising light, but you will always have double yellow passing in Colorado...too many twisties not to

Beautiful pics man, thanks for sharing.
