My wife and I are taking a 10-day ride on our Ultra in June to West Yellowstone to try my hand at the Yellowstone Half-Marathon. The trip is in the early stages of planning and I have never been to that part of the country so I am reading all I can to figure out a ride plan. At this point, I figure riding in the Montana/Wyoming area a couple days then maybe head towards the Black Hills. Nothing in set in stone yet so I need to get it figured out soon!

3 of us planning to haul the bikes to Texas Hill country as soon as the weather is decent in the spring, late Feb-early March. Figuring a week of total time with 4+ days riding.

Girlfriend wants to visit some friends in Arkansas and Louisiana this spring so currently in the planning stage of hauling to Little Rock and then riding to NO. Figuring late Marchish.

Daughter lives in Nashville and my favorite August trip is a weekend in Nashville and 4-5 days in the Smokies.

Man I feel ashamed to even post mine after reading everyone else's!

But here we go....
The wife and I have a trip up to Couer d'Alene planned. Just get up there and go wherever we feel like while we are in the area. Tentatively have a stop by Washington & Montana planned as we've never been to either on the bikes. Never been to Montana period.

Plan B would be Colorado. I'm fine with either trip it's just up to the wife really.

Hell, I'm fine as long as we take a trip on the bikes! LOL

I have a great trip planned this coming year the first time I have ever done this long of a trip let alone doing it on my Road King .
I have a five week bike trip starting out by myself .
Going to be leaving Alaska in July stopping in Seattle to pick up my brother and his Road Glide and continue heading on into Sturgis .
My wife and brothers wife will fly in for the week while we are in Sturgis , do the rally and the black hills .
The two wife's will fly back to Alaska and Seattle my brother and I will head on to Oklahoma and Texas to visit family .
We will leave there and head to Oregon to also visit family stopping in Seattle to drop my Brother off and I will make my way back to Alaska .
I am looking so forward to this trip .
EPIC

Laughlin River Run in early May; Colorado peaks in June; Hells Canyon Motorcycle Rally in Oregon in July; Sturgis in August; Biketoberfest in Daytona in October. If all goes well it will be a great year.

Tomorrow is my last day of work, I'm retiring so time will not be an issue this riding season. Planning a week in the Smoky Mountains and Chattanooga, TN area. May ride with some friends to Hatfield Field, Arkansas to attend a rally at CMA headquarters in June. Will be great to not have to plan a trip based on vacation time but just leave and return when I feel like it. Not on the bike, but planning an elk hunting trip with my step-son in SW Colorado in November.
