I wish..........I could just do whatever the hell I wanna do.  Nothing would be better than to have six Saturdays and one Sunday every week.  Wouldn't that be nice?  WOW!
It's that time of year.  I start getting all these emails.  Let's go to Hot Springs.  Let's go to Sturgis.  Let's go to Little Sturgis. Let's go to Black Creek.  Let's go to Thunder Beach, Daytona Bike Week, Biketoberfest, Laconia, Rolling Thunder, Tail of the Dragon, Maggie Valley...............you know the drill.  But like everyone else around here, the only reason I can enjoy riding is I work for a living....which inevitably means I gotta pick and choose where we go this year.  The time is coming tho'......where we will do it all.  It won't be long, but for this year, Renea and I have some difficult choices to make.  I'm half tempted to sell our Talladega tickets just so we can do something different this year, yet still retain ticket rights for next year......forego our damn near ritualistic annual Labor Trip to Robbinsville just so we can do something else.  Just today a guy in my company who works on a different program shot me one of those Sturgis emails.............and it sounds good, but Sturgis happens right smack dab at the very beginning of a new school term and that term is gonna be a rough one.  So, I've got some quantitative analysis to do...........and fast.  I'll be glad when I can just throw caution to the wind and just get the f**k out of Dodge at a moment's notice.

i used to do laconia every year. and do a week long trip with the wife usually into canada. we've been to Quebec city, PEI, Nova Scotia, and back to QC a couple more times

then this site changed all of that. after attending Maggie Valley in the spring of 05 i've turned my back on the big rallies. lets face it its the same vendors selling the same chit at each rally year after year after year.

like yourself my time off is comes in limited qunatities. after MV05 i made the decison to spend it with my CVO family and avoid the big rallies. avoid the traffic issues. avoid the over priced beer, avoid amature hour ( drunk kids on fast bikes )

instead i'm traveling to places i have never been nad meet people for this site. some i have already met others i meet for the first time. but its always a group i know i will have a good time with

It would be nice to have all of the time, money and resources needed to experience everything our lives have to offer.  No easy solutions, but it appears that Neal has made an excellent point here.

Jock I agree.
Use to go to rallys to look at the people and bikes.
Now I look forward to just riding and maybe at some of the places meeting someone from this site. Never even thought about going to California but now we have a few friends from there and plan to visit them soon. Same for Tennesee, Texas, Maryland, Mass and many other states. Hell, maybe even to Missouri some day. This site has changed the way we look at our vacations. And that's a good thing!

All I need is just a wee bit more horsepower to get us there!  ;D

JMHO,
    But since I left the club,  I do small runs with friends and enjoy.  The rallies are all the same,  some have more naked women than others,  but what the hell and the vendors are all selling the same crap.........ride with friends, avoid the crowds, be safer than the rallies,  and do what you want rather than what the rally suits have planned for you.

Live free.....
Ride safe....
Love large.....
Enjoy the ride.....

those were the days my friend,
we thought they'd never end
we'd sing and dance forever and a day
we'd pick the fights we'd choose
we'd fight and never lose
those were the days
Oh yes those were the days
