5-30-24 250 mile mountain ride on the Suzuki GSX-8S (6.5 hour ride!)

I’m Mike documenting my family’s outdoors adventures. I hope you enjoy going along with Joline and our dogs Kashie and Sadie. We hike, climb mountains, ski, and camp in our travel trailer. I also ride a dual sport motorcycle (usually on forest roads), a street motorcycle and ride an e-mountain bike on trails.
Joline and I (Mike) live in the town of Mt Shasta near the volcanic 14er Mt Shasta. Rumor has it the ancient Lemurian civilization relocated to volcanic tunnels and caverns under Mt Shasta when their continent subsided into the ocean. You can decide that for yourself.

Nice video and bike. I have a 2024 8S the same color as yours. What windscreens are you sporting? How do they work for you?

MRA screen with a puig deflector on top. They do a good job of taking the pressure off your chest and leave the air flow over the helmet smooth (they don’t keep wind off the helmet). The puig deflector is the small one. On this ride wind was gusting close to 30 mph when getting close to Redding on the interstate. Without the wind protection it would have been hard to hold on. With the screen and deflector it wasn’t too bad!

Thank you for the info. Ride safe.
