[QUOTE="Canada Dan, post: 1257610, member: 27868"] Prior to leaving home, I had read on another forum that it was best to go through early in the morning to avoid a 'Performance Award'. I waited until around 11am to leave Missoula hoping that the day would warm up a bit - it was only 6C when I headed into the pass on Friday. Throughout the day I only encountered one Trooper, and he had a Westbound car pulled over near the East end of the Pass. As for the Off-road capabilities of the FJR, I've ridden both the '14 and the '03 in gravel without too much difficulty - just loosen your grip and let the bike move the way it wants to move. That wet clay was quite an adventure though - I'm sure the folks in the car behind me enjoyed the show. The clay was just wet enough to stick to the tires and kind of bind between the front fender and the tire. My ass cheeks had a death grip on that seat by the time I got onto the pavement at Browning.
