Default Two trips planned in 08 need 4th rider

2the 2 of us areretired, 3rd owns own business.

2 of us are located north of Atlanta,
We all ride EGs,
Riding style: up @ 6AM on the road by 7AM, ride to approx. 8:30 or 9AM breakfast, light lunch, find clean hotel by 5 to 6PM, dinner, drinks in bed by 10PM. All of us are in our early 60s, don't carry guns, don't do drugs, we are your typical RUBs but ride about 15K miles a year together & are tired of having to pay for two rooms every night when there is only three of us. (We are not gay) We ride between 200 to & when required 600 mi.day. Again no camping.

Mid May taking approx 18 day trip to New England, Nova Scotia, Canada, roads north of the lakes. (2 of us have done prior so we know the good spots)

July 20th departing for west coast trip that will be about 22 days, out to coast,then north up coast Hwy (2 of us did last year so again we know the way) then in northern Oregon turning east riding a loop thoughIdaho, then into Deadwood SD for Sturigis rally on Aug. 6th depart for GA 10th , arriving back in GA. 12th.

If you have interest, the time, the $$$ to spair, & a bike & butt that can make the trip, please PM me with your email address & we can then talk in more detail.

Regards, Jack

It's a good thing you added that quote about not being Gay It's hard to tell how many hits you would have hadto avoided.You guy's got it right though, I only hope that my wife and I can enjoy the country on our scoot when I retire. Be safe.

That almost exactley describes my buddies and my riding style. It seems to work well for us. If there are just 3 of us sometimes I will use my sleeping bag to avoid geting that second room. Four riders seems to work well because if you get a larger group its harder to keep together through some of the redlights when you come into town. Wer going to Nova Scotia the last part of July, Have fun.

Boys ... other than getting up at 6 ... being in Atlanta ... and riding EGs ... well ... hell ... there ain't no reason at all to ride with you. But seriously, good luck on finding someone, I'm in kind of the same boat on the west side of the US. The two buds I ride with work at the same university I do so we have a lot of the same days off ... and none of our wives ride with us on trips ... so getting 2 rooms for 3 people just sucks.

If youre not gay (and I'm sure your not) and your secure in your manhood (I'm sure you are) get one room with double beds and take turns doubling up. We do it all of the time.
