Default Which trip to take?
Trip 1: Leave Fort Wayne, IN in August with a group of about 20 bikes. Take 2 days to get to Sturgis as the rally is ending. Spend the next 5 days riding the area. Then 2 days to get back to Fort Wayne. Would be solo, the wife wouldn't be able to make it. Total days 11.

Trip 2: Leave Southern Ohio with another couple. Spend 1 day getting to Nashville, TN. Next day to Memphis. Next day start heading back to Southern Ohio, find a place to stop for the night. Last day ride from wherever to Southern Ohio. Wife is able to go. Total days 5 or 6.

Help me figure this one out.

What I see:

Ride #1: Exciting ride to an exciting place...no wife.

Ride #2: Local ride in a familiar place.......with wife.

I don't have an answer but I have a question. What would you do if you were 25 and she was your girlfriend?

I would tend to side with this analogy.

***** aside, I'm wondering why the heck would you want to ride to Memphis?

I'm all for Trip 1 but consider trip 3; hang a left in Nashville and head for East Tennessee.
