This motorcycle travelogue details day 3 of a motorcycle trip that I took in the summer of 2025. This day was a scenic journey through Idaho on July 14, 2025, chronicling a 410-mile ride from the Nevada border to the town of Salmon.

The narrative captures a dramatic transition in geography, moving from high-desert plateaus and the massive Snake River Canyon into the jagged peaks of the Sawtooth Mountains.

Beyond the physical route, the text serves as a nostalgic reflection on motorcycling history, as the riders compare their modern touring bikes to the challenging "naked" machines of their youth. Blending vivid descriptions of the rugged backcountry with personal anecdotes about vintage Yamahas, it highlights a lifelong passion for the freedom and grit of the open road.

Below is a list of podcasts about this trip. They will be availableon the date shown.
