Default Your best road trip......

So far, mine has been the L.A. to North Rim and back trip! We left LA the first day and stayed in Laughlin. Next day we went to the south rim of the Grand Canyon and then to the north rim lodge. Anyone familiar with that run knows our day was spent at high speed. Next day we went to Vegas. Next day L.A. 1300 miles total. Shortly after that I bought the Mustang Regal Touring seat. I'm sorry, but the stock Harley RK seats suck!!

Best day trip was last September when I rented a RK and rode the PCH. Great weather and an awesome ride. Best week of riding was in March in AZ. Rode 1300 miles in 5 days all over AZ!

Also too many to list, but one that stands out was:

Northwest Washington to Bryce Canyon, Utah; to the Grand Canyon; to Phoenix; to Yosemite Park; and back home, all on the 2-lane backroads.

On a bike...Columbus, Ga to Fairbanks, Ak and most of the way back.

In a cage... New England a couple of weeks ago. No agenda, nowhere to be and lots of things that needed to be explored.
