USA West » Mono Lake

I went by Mono Lake on HWY 395 on my way home to Washington after purchasing the 1250 at a dealer in Los Angeles area. Had to wear a N-95 mask under my helmet because of the terrible smoke. You couldn't even see the lake from the highway. It was like an eerie scene from Dante's Inferno and not one I wanted to linger in-

I wonder how that smoke impacts air filters? I just changed the paper air filter in my Royal Enfield Bullet and it was almost black. I don't know if that was from sucking up a little oil mist from the breather during a few thousand miles of riding, or from riding though the past 30 days of smoky air.

You must be a mind reader. I will be taking advantage of the rain this weekend to figure out how to replace my air filter with a lightly used one I have on the shelf from my 2018 RT...
