Chinook Pass(Mt Rainier) on a Roketa Bali 150

[harrywr2]

Decided to take a bit of an afternoon spin on the Bali(just 170 miles round trip)...some of the pictures are simply proof for doubters that a stock cheap china scoot could do this.

The Enunclaw Ranger Station..at the base of the climb.


A quick stop at Mud Mountain

A 'scenic stop' or so the sign said...whats scenic about clear cutting I don't know.



Official Entrance to Mt Rainier National Park - No food,fuel or cell phone service after this


Another scnic view...a bit more scenic this time


And another


Managed to get to Cayuse Pass...bike has been managing to hold 40-50MPH up until this point


A close up of the elevation sign



On towards Chinook Pass - speed limit drops to 35MPH on this road


More scenery

And more

And more


Bikes in teh background here...Chinook Pass Elevation 5,432 feet


Some scenary on the way back down

More Scenary


Just to get an idea on how steep it is...that's the road after the next twisty

There was actually an 18 wheeler broke down about 200 yards or so from the top. It was blocking a lane in a turn..was only a few hundred feet from a parking area so I assume the truck was broke bad otherwise it would have limped into the parking area.

I’m planning on riding my scoot from Columbus OH to My bothers in Burlington VT. I wanted to go by Lake Placid on the way. I was worried about the mountains but not now! Thanks for the pics!

Wow, I grew up in Burlington (went to elementary, high school and college there), and two years ago I moved back to Vermont from Columbus (lived in Columbus for 10 years).

If you get up this way, send me a message on here.

Great Pics, scoot looks just like mine. (Except mines silver) Haven't had it out for a good ride yet but plan to when the weather breaks and I get it registered and plates.
