Hey, how about we plan a week long trip trip up and back to the 2010 rally? If we did that we could avoid a 800 miles on I-95 or I-75 & I-85 and see some of the best riding in the southeast on the way to, while at and on the way home from the rally. I'd suggest that we even camp on way up, while there and on way back! With 3 days to get there and 3 days to get home we should be able to do it the relaxed and fun way? Compared to pounding the super slab there and back!!!

Mike, Natalie, Tammy and I are planning just such a trip Ross. We are going to wait till spring to pick our route up and back so we can see the sights along the way. We figured to leave on Saturday morning and get back to home on the following Sunday morning.

Mike and I thought that would give us about 275-325 mile days which are low, low mile days with plenty of time to stop and sniff the flowers or whatever. I'm sure I'll have to buy an additional memory card for my camera.

Sounds like a great idea. I was considering trailering my bike if it was 500+ miles a day on the interstate, but I like your idea....Except....I don't enjoy sleeping on the floor without air conditioning in June ??? , so if a hotel option is available near the camp site, I'm there.. Give me that soft bed and a hot shower... :)

**coacha** · 07-28-2009, 03:24 PM

Joe, come on man, your a tough, biker dude...doo rag, tye-died shirts, black boots...rough it brother. Shower, who needs 'em? Just let the rain rinse you off. ;)

mrfuni · 07-28-2009, 04:01 PM

Been there done that, hey, I'm getting old man, need a little of the luxuries in life at my age.... Rain ?... Who said anything about rain? ;)

**coacha** · 07-28-2009, 04:21 PM

Luxuries? You can buy bottled wine instead of the stuff in a box...how bout that? And I will have Taminator bring special dark chocolate for the s'mores.

MikeInFla · 07-28-2009, 08:44 PM

Got to this conversation a little late...

Sounds like Trosco has been reading our mind. ;) Trosco, we did 500+ miles to get to NC last time and we we're pretty tired when we got there. Your more than welcome to join us on the trip.

Joe, SERIOUSLY? a comfy bed, air conditioning, little mint on your pillow????? Should we find a hotel that has a valet service for the bike. Do you want us to have it washed and waxed for you too?

Come on, hang with the big boys & girls. You don't want to miss Taminators breakfast incase your concierge forgets to wake you up in time.

You can leave to box of wine with us.

mrfuni · 07-28-2009, 09:24 PM

OK Mike, you got me..sleeping on the floor it is :-/

tammyallan2000 · 07-28-2009, 10:25 PM

Woohoo! French toast and s'mores for all!

Did you need a passport to get into Ohio?
