Quray to Durango - Ducati.ms

BigHoss · Jun 16th, 2008, 10:42 pm

Just got back from a ride on the Million Dollar Highway.....Insane it was. There was three different stretches down to one lane due to paving and the lanes not paved are pretty chewed up from winter.

Haul trucks crossing the double yellow causing some seat puckering. Massive tourist RV's hauling SUV behind them.

I would advise passing on this ride for at least another year.

Best part of the trip was lunch at Romero's in Sliverton, killer salsa.

BigHoss,

Did you make this trip on the Hyper?

Wow, I just got back from a trip down there with my Norton to attend a regional Norton owner's rally. Wanted to ride the Million Dollar Highway but didn't get to it. Instead I rode over Lizard Head Pass. Spectacular!

I was a little disappointed at not having time for 550, but not now!

Rode that one last September at that time the road was in great shape we caught just a little rain at the top, rode that day from Avon to Durango.
