Btw what's the elevation of Idaho Falls? You're not in the Caymans anymore, so don't give yourself a heart attack. In my forgotten youth I spent a glorious Summer on the other side of the divide in Jackson and Grand Teton Park.
I suggest you just get a fly rod and reel and binge on rainbow trout, the Omega oils will do you good. Especially if your heading to Montana.

Good advice. Just plugged my GPS in to check the elevation. It's about 4,800 feet in Idaho Falls but much higher within 100 miles or so. Heart attacks are not good: noted! Of course neither is being overweight and I've got to deal with that or I'll have one for sure one of these days.
More shocking was my mileage logged on my GPS which is nearly 17,000 miles! Quite a few considering that I just bought the thing in April, didn't take it to Italy with me (about 2,000 miles there on a rental car) and I don't use it in the Atom (another 2,000 miles there since April).
Haven't bought the Ducati monster yet, and may or may not. While I'd love to have one for kicks and giggles, I can't even keep a motorhome within the lines so the thought of all of that power (which I could drop on myself) kind of scares me!
Love Jackson, and even more so, the ride between here and there along the Snake River. It's really splendid scenery, and it just keeps coming at you in bits and pieces so you're never overwhelmed like you might be in mountain passes. The result is a ride that is both tranquil and invigorating, if that makes any sense.
I'm headed to Jackson in the morning to check out those bikes. Just wondering if I'll be able to fit whatever I end up buying in the passenger seat of the Atom. I know that I should dive a sensible vehicle, but I'd bet anything that I could bungie strap a bike in there without too much difficulty. It would look pretty odd and get splattered with bugs but that's alright.
