What is the ride you've always wanted to take? It can betwo days or two weeks.
For me, being in the Buckeye State, it's the Pacific Coast Highway (San Diego to Washington state?), butnot duringthe mudslide season and without getting stuck behind long lines of Winnebegos. Someday . . . .
RE: "Someday, while I can still ride, I'm gonna . . . ."
I want to ride across the country and all around it for as long as I want. I dunno, maybe a couple of months or so, with Scootergrrl in toe... I'll take pch up to washington sometime too. I have already taken pch from LA to San Francisco, so I guess I need to go from San Francisco to the canadian border.
RE: "Someday, while I can still ride, I'm gonna . . . ."
I would like to fly to Boston, rent a RK or Classic and ride up through Vermont and Maine, maybe even into the Maritimes. I've pretty much seen all the west and a lot of the southwest, the Plains states, some Texas and Arkansas. Maybe the eastern seaboard would be nice finishing up with the Gulf states.

From Minnesota to Ohio, make a right down through Tennessee. Make another right through Kansas, over to the Grand Canyon....west to the PCH in California and then north to Washington State. After that heading home to Minnesota. I think maybe six to eight weeks should do it.
