Thinking taking a run down to Virginia, WV, Blue Ridge & maybe some of the area with my wife in June.

 

I do the opposite. I take my time outbound and blast home--a few 600+ days can make it feel good to get home. Good luck on the Iron run this year.

 

Headed to DC in May for the Last Run to the Wall.
Then to Laconia in June. Been a few years. Love the riding up there.
In August headed up to Deadwood. Stopping first in Milwaukee at the HD Museum.
Travel SW to RT 30 and ride Lincoln Highway West to visit Buddy Holley Museum.
Up I 35 to I 90 West to Deadwood. Staying at Cadillac Jack's arriving Day after Sturgis ends. Planning to hit as many rides in the area that we can.
Planned one 700 mile day from Ames Iowa to Deadwood. That'll be a personal high for me.

 

If your 13 rides half as good as my 18, 700 miles should be a breeze. My longest have been 550-600 on this bike so far and I really wanted to just keep riding but I had arrived at my destination.

 

Me too. We do our first stop in New Stanton and then on to DC. Been doing the parade for the last 10 years - very sad to see it end. Longest ride for me was a SS1000 on the way back from doing Route 66 trip with dealer.
Maybe we'll run into each other in DC I have a black TriGlide with MARINE across the windshield and SEMPER FI across the trunk.
And so you'll recognize me I'll be wearing a black t-shirt and have a beard.

 

The little lady got approved for 2 weeks beginning Labor day weekend so we are going to try last years planned trip.
She will start in Rapid City. Couple days in that area then west to Red Lodge/Bear Tooth Hwy., Yellowstone, Tetons/Jackson Hole/ Cody then back to Rapid City.

 

Bill, not sure how your getting from Jackson Hole to Cody...... but 120 from Thermopolis to Cody is a nice ride. I have never been on 25 from Moran Junction to Riverton though.

 

I'm not sure either. So far the plan is in broad strokes and changeable. Those are the areas we want to see but how we do that is still under discussion

 

 

Get on 14A at Burgess Junction?
We plan on a couple days riding out of Rapid City area, probably Deadwood so she can see Mt Rushmore, Badlands, Devils Tower etc. Then head west. Spending a couple days in one area the move on to the next works well for us on this trip.
Cody Looks to be one of them.
She wants to spend at least one night in Jackson Hole and the Tetons.
