Fourhour, Phoenix was ok, rain and cool 50-60 deg. The way people dive there make Boston drivers look like blue hairs!!! Got to take a ride up 89A from Prescott over to Cottonwood, real nice ride over the mountain, wife said no way she would ride on a bike with me on that road. I'll be at the Centrum probably on Saturday.
Up for any ride, anywhere, anytime, just give me the details and tell me where we're meeting.

There is a very cool book called road trips USA, its all about the two lane roads all over this country. Route 1 from maine to Key West. Route two that goes from Mass all the way to the west coast. And six or eight more. It gives out points of interest all along the way, places to stay and eat and most are reasonable because they are off the beaten path. Some interesting reading and trips if you get the chance to check it out.

I am planning to trailer my Sporty up to Manitowoc, Wisconsin for a couple of weeks around the end of July. The OL and I have been going up there for 32 years to visit her mom, but this will be the first time with the sled. Looking forward to riding through the countryside and along Lake Michigan.

Leaving Vancouver in August with the OL and a party of 10. Heading down to Sturgis for a few days for the gathering.
Carrying on through Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, then back through Ontario, dip south to Wisconsin for the other party, back up to Canada, through the Prairies, the Rockies and back home.
My arse'll never forget this :D

I'm going right through there next weekend. My buddies and I put on 5 Toughman shows around Ohio...next weekend 17th & 18th we're in Warren. That's always a fun show...we usually get our ring girls from the tittie bars up there...and the clubs always treat us good after the show!

A whole weekend of beer, brawlin', and boobies! LIFE IS GOOD!

No, they'll be others there!:D YFB200; When are ya going up? Have'nt decided when I am but you might be riding through my neck of the woods and maybe we can hook up. Quite possibly be like Wednesday or so.

D
HELL YA, I'm there. I want to get there to see the hill climb at Gunstock mt. It was on Wed last yr and I think it was the same day the yr before also. So I'll be there from at least then. Starting my plans already. Any you gents want to stop in fer a couple are more than welcome. My setup is always stocked. I stay in Tilton, it's about 8 or so miles from the strip. Enough distance away that I can get the fuk out and ride without sitting in a line. Rite on the lake ??? not sure of the name of it. It's south of Laconia. I set up wit a bunch of my buds and a bunch of others that show up every yr. We bring beat on bikes to blow up, giant fire, and break out the burn boards its that time. Can you smell the rubber yet?
Marcus dairy is 1/2 hr from my house. Go there fer breakfast. On Sat they have car cruises. Ther last couple of super Sundays there where just that. They had a LOT of peeps show up. We go there fer a little then bar hop around. CT bike week is also gaining speed. Last yr was prety cool. I always have a good time at every place I go. Then again, I could have a good time when I sleep. I'll go to any event with a bunch of bikers. I just love to see all that metal and shiny chrome, it gives me a woody.

Have Fun!
Haven't rode out too much in your neck of the woods. A buddy of mine broke down when we were on a trip in Gallipolis and we had some really nice people open up a little shop on a Sunday to help us out.

Been quite a few years,but would love to do the NE "loop" thing again when the new ride gets here. Did the Block Island boat ride and putted there and stayed the night. Loved Maine and would like to spend more time there. The White Mountains of New Hampshire were awesome and would enjoy spending a few days doing the back roads there too. Problem is too little vacation time and a family now ,so it would have to be a short one.
