That really looks like a fabulous road. 😎 

But what's that blue can attached to your triple tree?

That, Sir DRONE, is a can of BMW....(not what you think it means).

A can of BMW means...Bears Might be Wandering....so you spray this can of BMW at the "wandering Bear", and it immediately starts to have an oil leak, and the throttle bodies go out of adjustment. Oh, and the rear differential fails...too !

Works great when a Bear comes across your path in the Olympic National Park.

Same stuff is used up in Alaska, only there it is known as Bad Moose Wandering.

I have a canvas sheath for bear spray with a belt loop, but I like the idea of keeping a canister on the bars.  😎

Don't forget the air horn.  Cows, moose, elk, and bear have all responded positively (IMHO) to my air horn.  I just can't get a rise out of a stock horn that goes " meep  meep"  They look at you and go  "meh" in a species appropriate manner.

@ned I think the park service hauled 2.3 gazillion tons of gravel up that road, finishing in mid July.  I'd say that there's no obstacle to taking a street rig up there.  Unless the sight of one of those damn Sprinters pretending to be an off road rig gets your dander up.
