2012 trips

[DRxBMW]

Who has got a trip planned and where are you going?

My plans so far:

* Japan, _______________ late April into mid May.

* Alaska, June if I can persuade Rick to tag along on his 1100 GS, return via trans Canada. If that slips thru the cracks, the BMW RA rally 
  at Copper Mountain instead. http://www.bmwra.org/

* July, BMW MOA International rally at Sedalia, MO.   http://www.bmwmoa.org/rally12

Ride the K1100RS up the coast in March.

In April maybe run the K75 down the coast and back just for grins once I get radials installed on it.

Then maybe a trip down to So. Utah on the LT since I haven't been there for a while.

LT trip to Iderhoe, Montana, Wyoming and The Black Hills in July.

On my list of places to go is Washington DC, Acadia National Park, eastern Washington state, Arizona Highway 191 (hopefully going north to Utah, and hopefully it's not on fire like last year), Black Hills as well, and Orlando. All those plus whatever seems interesting in between. Leaving June, returning home... after I've checked those places off the list.

Main plan: Trip to Lincoln, NE for the Formula SAE competition there.

On the way, I will meander through the west, possibly heading north for one direction, and south for the other.

I may combine the trip with meetups with family (My Aunt, Uncle, and 2 cousins live in Portland) or friends (One has a farm in Kansas). May also fly my GF out to meet me along the way, with an open jaw flight, so I can take her through Yellowstone, and southern Idaho.

I may try to get some of my team-mates to join in with me, but the only other one who rides is graduating, and Yamaha R1's don't do well for long distance touring.

Hungry Mother State Park, Marion,Va. for a little Kbike gathering.

I was close ______________.  :hmm:

What's the date ?

I LOVE VA & WV tarmac, semi close to my abode, EAZY two day ramble.

Rockfish Gap to Simmon's Gap is my fav on Skyline Drive, in spite of draconian speed enforcement by Federal police. DAMHIFK

April 24th through May 11th - Riding to the Hungry Mother State Park in Virginia, with stops in Parkersburg, WV. to see my daughter, then down to the Smokey Mountain National Park for a couple of days, then to the Hungry Mother for the K1100G get together from May 3, 4 & 5, then back to Vegas.

May 30th through June 3rd - Have these 5 days off my my birthday weekend, haven't nailed down a location yet, maybe Kings Canyon in CA., maybe Durango, CO.

July 10th through Aug 2nd - Riding up to Yellowstone National Park for 2 days (staying at the Old Faithful Lodge - absolutely the best place to stay EVER), then up to Seattle, may visit sister in Alaska, then ride the Pacific coast Highway all the way to San Diego, CA. and back to Vegas.

BobZ - Donna & I will see you  at the Hungry Mother, really looking forward to that!  DRxBMW, come on down for this.

I'm sure we will take several other over night trips to Southern CA., and several more down to Phoenix to see the granddaughter.

Just decided: 2nd week of July the gang is heading to Deal's Gap and surrounding areas.

If your headed into Graham county,NC, make sure you dl Greg Hunt's GPS poi files and routes. Good stuff, you'll love the Wolf Pen. The waterfalls are way cool also.

Located in the motobricK GPS boochee section.

Be aware, cops are using helicopters on the Tennessee side of Deal's Gap.  Clock you in the air, hand out tickets in the flat portion by the reservoir.

NC route 28 from Bryson City to Gold is another dynamo, exits at Fontana lake. Unlike the gap, NO cops, squids crashing,traffic,almost as many swerves and curves.

If you like to run FAST, Cherahola Skyway has the best sweepers on the planet period.

Heading to the Klassic K Kampout in July then Nova Scotia with a stop to see Mum in Maine.  My gal has been to the Florida keys, Texas-AZ this year and is out at the RA now.  She will be a serious contender for the mileage contest this year.
