Great photos and write-up! :thumb:
You can sure take a lot of pictures when you ride shotgun, eh? :)
If you haven't seen it, a nice motorcycle-based companion article to your page is "The Monster: Riding the Other Side of Mount St. Helens" -- on page 48 of the July 2005 issue of rider magazine.
I'm not knocking you in any way, but for me cars offer no excitement since I started riding sportbikes.
...but I'd love to drive a car with a rotary engine just once to see what it's like. Wankle proved he was right :thumb: Doesn't GM feel stupid now...
Ja, I did sell the cars, and I find the bike track days to be far more exhilirating than the car days. But St. Helens - well, it's all twists, all the time, barely a straight to be seen - every twist you can think of, from hairpins to decreasing radii to corkscrews to switchbacks - and a well-set-up Miata can just plain take it faster than a well-set-up bike. We've overtaken sportbike groups when we've gone up there in the past. I don't miss my Miata enough to actually have kept it, but I did wish it could spontaneously appear for that one drive and then disappear again. ;)
it's all in the rider.

10x less $$... I think it's an easy choice. ;)
