Old Man rides motorcycle to the top of Everest

Cliff and Kadizzle busted our way to the top of the mountain.  The good old Yamaha took Kadizzle to the top of about 7,000 foot mountain.  It was a nasty, nasty ride. An earlier attempt failed, but that was with the old tires. Jeff said the new tires would make a big difference and he was right.  At one point the cycle shot off the road, but the recovery was successful.  The blasted road was so steep it was just as bad going down.  The trouble going down on the loose gravel and loose big rocks is a disaster because in first gear the rear wheel locks up.  Second gear is too fast and the cycle tends to stall.

The view from up there is spectacular. Below is a crash picture from last year.
