    we are heading down to Sturgis for a few days. Have never been, am really looking forwards to it.

    There are some beautiful roads in that area. Go see Mt. Rushmore and Crazy Horse while you're there! (Crazy Horse was more biker friendly when I was there.)
  • I rarely plan ahead too much as life often changes too much. As is the case here. I had planned to rip around Lake Superior for a week. Now, looking like I will do nothing more than a few day trips.

    Whatever I can do in 1 day for under $50 including gas. Local tourism at it's finest :)
    Not ideal, but better than doing nothing at all.

    In Ca. A ride up Hwy 395 to the Sierra Nevadas or up PCH to Big Sur is damn hard to beat in the Summer time..

    Sounds like an awesome time and a HUGE jump in power.

    Sounds pretty great Jerry!

    We pretty much scrapped the Ozarks trip. Maybe next year. We're setting our sites on a trip to the Appalachians next year.

    In fact, we're kind of discussing moving back East so that the old man can see what that part of the country is like. I grew up in Pittsburgh and lived in Maryland for 15 years, riding and camping from Maine to Southern VA. But he grew up in western Missouri and lived in New Mexico for 35 years, so it would all be new territory for him. I love the softness of those mountains compared to the Rockies. It would be a welcome homecoming for me.

    If anyone has any feedback about living in/near the Appalachians, I'd love to hear it. Right now I'm looking at somewhere near Roanoke/Lynchburg VA. House prices are cheap, winters aren't too cold, and the mountains are close. Those three things are really important!
