I Dumped My Motorcycle in Montana ... Twice

A cracked rib, a tweaked shoulder, a twisted ankle and a messed up Moto Guzzi.... Welcome to Day 23 of my cross-country motorcycle road trip across America. I dumped my V85TT twice (caught on my Chigee's dashcam), within half an hour of each other, on a deceptively muddy road near Deer Lodge on my way to the Lolo Pass. In the process, I learned a few things about myself, my bike, and riding in the mud. (Language is a little spicy in this one as you can imagine... You've been warned.) ✅✅✅ Want to directly support BugMoto? I've set up a Ko-fi page where you can donate as much or as little as you like!
