Here is a breakdown of our proposed route. Below is a breakdown of days traveled / rested and Mileage. Still being planned. Dates however are set - depart and return.

We are flying home, and shipping the bikes back.

i believe north to massachusetts is appropriate

 

Sounds like fun but SHIPPING the bikes back??? People will start calling you a Harley rider.

 

Go to pnwriders.com and ride44.com for info on good routes as well as current conditions. If your coming down the coast on hwy 101, hwy 34 east from Waldport Oregon is killer, and then you can ride up Mary's peak road. Would be about an hour, two hours out of your way depending on how hard an fast you ride.

Hopefully I will be into town when you guys come into Chicago, I will see if I can't round up a group of guys and gals and meet up with you!

Happy planning, can't wait to see pictures and follow your trip

 

So you want to meet Nate alone????? I have and it was weird. Just messing with you.

If I was still going to be around I would jump on this like a single mom on a pole, but I will be there in spirit. (Thats sounds retarted but I ain't changing it).

 

Take an extra week and come back via Route 66!

 

Looks like a lot of fun. You have some really long days at 500+ miles. I have done ~250 on a long ride day (backroads) so I can only imagine what roughly double that would be.

Have you worked out how you will ship your bikes back? I have shipped cars but not bikes. Do you have to have them crated?

 

i can save you some $$$ -- leave the bike with me for the summer, i'll meet you in Santa Barbara.
