A motorcycle touring magazine published a list of "must do" activities if you claim to be a motorcyclist. Among them were attend a motorcycle rally a la Sturgis (um, no thanks; not my tribe), attend a professional motorcycle race (check--went to MotoGP at Laguna Seca last two years; second time in RedBull hospitality tent), and ride across the continental United States.

So my two buddies and I are planning a trip from San Francisco to the Adirondacks in upstate New York for the second half of June. I will start trip planning soon and will welcome from Forum members good routes through their respective states.

Am planning a trip to Charlotte Nc. around memorial day for my oldest daughters wedding. Frank should finally be up to Touring GT status, with a new Street Pilot III well set up, and a Roady XM for entertainment, as well as all the other mods made over the last 2 years. Following that, I would like to make WooFoo, if only to ride Utah-have driven it fairly well but never scooted it. CFO follows soon after. Looking forward to 2007, I seem to never tire of throwing miles on Franks odo.

 
3 weeks--Swiss and Italian Alps and maybe into Liechenstein :yahoo: Will rent a dual sport in case of snow.

Mid-May-Blue Ridge, Smokie mountains

Mid-June-Around the Eastern Great Lakes, Adirondacks, NH, VT, Maine, Quebec, S. Ontario into N. MI

Sept-EOM in WV

And probably a few day trips to S. OH, KY and WV in between.

I won't count mid-ohio races since it's only an hour away.

Not too bad. Next year I must go out West to MT, UT, and CO. National FJR meet???
