Not as originally planned. Due to its extended rest period in my garage - on a shelf with a window view of the yard and perched above my bike - we have decided to air it out a bit. Will have a six pack on the seat and a brick on the accellerator so-to-speak,&nbsp\\;and&nbsp\\;be heading to Effingham for the Forum rally by way of Tucson, AZ.
WTF????? you say. That geezer is out of his mind.
Well, true, but&nbsp\\;long story short, I traded my 02 FXDL for an 03 FLHRI, which happens to be in Tucson. We will be leaving Billings late Friday afternoon on June 20th or early AM on the 21st. Picking up the RK on the morning of the 24th and expect to arrive in Effingham Friday afternoon. May have a little free time on the way down to AZ, depending on when I leave and how fast I go.
Post up if you want to meet &amp\\; I will try to arrange it.
For you Mapquest fans, zip codes are 59101 to 85710 to 62401. That is the route &amp\\; I am sticking to it (mostly, unless I have a better idea on the way).

Keep track of your Mascot-related miles...It'll be a bunch!&nbsp\\; I don't think I can swing it, but if I do it'll be the longest trip I've been on a bike.&nbsp\\; Your journey will even be a lot longer!&nbsp\\; Take care, and POST PICS of your new ride!

Mileage will be a hair over 3k

 

Have a safe and enjoyable trip, Brian.

 

Barbara - thanks for the kind thoughts.

 

Brian, will you be carrying a laptop or some other device so you can post during your trip? On such a long ride,&nbsp\\; it would really be neat to be able to follow your progress.&nbsp\\;

 

Highly unlikely. Might keep a journal, though, and post it up when I get back. Or, some motels do have a computer for guest useage.
