Any long riders in the Kansas area ? I am new here but have been riding 50 years, lucky enough for my wife to be my best friend and riding partner..My Ultra and her Dyna...39 states so far, everything east of the Mississippi, just moved to Kansas and plan for the remaining 11.
Retired, so planning is pretty easy.

 

Welcome.
I used to live in KC and very familiar with the highways in mid-America.

Denver is the easiest 540 miles there is. Hit I-70 and ride as fast as you are comfortable 7-8 hours due west. No fuss, no muss, no turns, no curves, no cities. Less than an hour more puts you up in the mountains at the continental divide.

Head over to Salina and turn north and ride through the sand hills of Nebraska. You will be amazed at their isolated beauty. (I really recommend this)

If you like lonely riding, head due south, enter Oklahoma and turn right. Ride Oklahoma west through the panhandle. Lonely and beautiful.

Head south and hit Arkansas for some of the most beautiful riding through the Ozarks and oak trees. In north Arkansas, the twisties and hills are great.

Plenty of beautiful riding areas and excuses to go see them.

 

West south or north it's all good riding. Just back off the throttle and enjoy

 

Thanks, I am hoping to do the Denver leg soon. I passed through the Arkansas area some for work a few years ago and thought it would make good riding.
I appreciate the ideas.

 

Finished 48 this year on the same bike in 2 1/2 years. Good luck

 

I do a least two long rides a year and there are about 12 of us from the construction industry that do it together.
I'm the only one from lake area the rest are from KC
