It's all downhill from here!
« on: January 09, 2011, 05:18:18 PM »

Just got home from our annual breakfast meeting to plan our 2011 bike trip.  Got together with some friends, voted on our trip and then went to the Progressive Insurance International Motorcycle show.  (waste of $15, very few vendors, overall show sucked, but loved the models)  Anyway, we have minimum of 10 riders going this year, everyone gave  a $350 deposit that i put on a visa card to hold reservations, then pay for group dinners. Leaving Michigan, 1st night at Niagara Falls, from there upstate NY across the boarder and allow the St Lawrence Sea Way, maybe some ballet action in Montreal?, Lake Placid, 2 days in Bar Harbor Maine down through the Catskills, into Pennsylvania, along Rt 6 to the Ohio Turnpike and home.  2,468 miles plus any excursions.  The exciting part, this means we are downhill from here, excited to start planning the trip and thinking about riding.  Christmas stuff is put away, and spring is a few months away!

I agree about getting the Christmas stuff pack away and planning trips.  I am doing the exact same thing, except I ride alone on the long trips, so my vote is all that counts!   That TV show, "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" pretty much sets my destinations for me!  Can't wait for good weather again!

We leave Friday June 17th and return on June 26th.  I think the average daytime temperature is somewhere in the mid 70's according to weather.com.  This will be our 6th year as a group, a few missed only 1 trip, 3 of us had made all 6.  Whats really cool is that my brother that lives in Illinois joined us last year when we rode the Smokies.  My dad passed away in June of 2009 and since then we are a lot closer, before that we never spoke.  He's 5 years older.

I hope you try to remember to let me know where you are staying in The Falls so maybe a few of us can meet up and maybe ride along for a bit. :coolblue:

The cabin fever is starting to build up here too. I have also starting the planning for our annual trip. We are looking to get 4 bikers from 3 states together again this summer. Unfortunately we will have an abbreviated trip this summer due to a fellow and his new job and lack of vacation time, ole' well will just have to make due.
