Lets hear about your trip plans for this summer?
« on: May 13, 2011, 08:21:56 PM »

We leave 6/17 around 11am from Plymouth Michigan, cross the bridge into Canada and spend the 1st night in Niagara Falls following via the northern coast of Lake Erie.  After that we follow the south shoreline of Lake Ontario traveling through upstate New York to the St Lawrance Seaway and just south of Montreal we head south to Lake Placid.  From there we head north east across Lake Champlain to Bar Harbor Maine for a couple days of riding and good seafood.  From there southeast to Laconia, then south through the Catskills to route 6 eastern grand canyon across northern PA to the Ohio turnpike and back to Michigan.  4 mountain ranges, 7 national parks, 70% of the route are highlighted motorcycle routes via MAD MAPS.  2,600 miles, 11 buddies.  Route posted and shared as Bar Harbor on Harley Ride Planner.

Wife has been having a lot of pain in her knee that was totally replaced only five years ago! Doctor told her today he thinks it may be loose! Probably will require another replacement knee...so vacations and rides may be limited this year. :nixweiss: :(

Tomorrow I am just going to Carmel for the Quail Motorcycle Gathering

Next Saturday 5/20 I am leaving San Jose headed to Laughlin, Sunday I will go on to Vegas for a few days. Wednesday I will take off for Albuquerque to hang out at my house and the Saturday BBQ contest. Sunday up to the Red River run for the day, riding with the In-Laws. Monday I will do the 1066 Mi back to San Jose.

For sure we are doing Sturgis, two days from San Jose to Sturgis (Picking my wife up at the airport on the way) then a few days in town and through Yellowstone and Seattle on the 10 day ride back to San Jose.

There are other rides in there but these are the only two that come to mind right now. I might ride down to San Diego for the 4th of July.

Taking a month to go from SD across Montana and then up the Canadian Rockies to Alaska. A tour around the main inland loop of Alaska then back home by a different route thru Canada.

Mid July, leaving SD for the West Coast to do some of HWY 1 and the St. Monkey Mountains.

Yea, living here thru South Dakota Winter turns you into a ride-a-holic come warm weather. I am aiming for 20K miles this season, only got in about 11K last summer (mostly going back and forth to Oklahoma). I'm retired so got plenty of time. At some point mama is gonna crack down on me before I spend all our retirement savings, LOL... Gotta do it now though, The toll of living hard and multiple serious accidents is starting to catch up on me. I feel like I gotta get the Alaska trip in while I am still physically able to do it. If all goes well, I might try to get down to the "Deep" South East late in the summer too. My wife has never seen the country I came from. Plus I got 6 grandkids down there I need to visit.

My granson in Oklahoma just finished his last harshest round of chemo for Lukemia and is now entering the "maintenance stage" of treatment. He is only 5 years old and insists on giving himself the injections thru the port planted in his chest. I guess no other kids have done it so all the doctors and nurses think he is a little hero. There is no doubt in my mind that he is already more of a man at 5 than his Daddy or Grandaddy...

Very Cool, you need to share how you did that.  We are taking our 6th annual trip.  Ours aren't nearly as long or elaborate because most of us either have jobs or own businesses, and as if that doesn't get in the way, we all have families, 9 days is pushing limits.
