One Hot Summer
So I am looking for some ideas! I have ridden the Twisted Sister, Talimena Byway, Sturgis, the Dragon, and the Natchez Trace Just to name a few! I am on a 6 month vacation and options are endless for me with the exception of catching the College games on Saturday! I am looking for a cool destination. Thinking of the Blue Ridge but I know some of the roads are closed. I have never really road much northeast. I am thinking of just taking off but was hoping to maybe get some ideas. It is over 102 in Louisiana so I am sure anything would be better than just riding around here. No one to answer to and this is more of a ride of reflection of life! Just the Bike, my music and the road! I have no time limit or date when I can take off If people wanna meet up or ride partially on way as I travel through some states. .
Any thoughts would be appreciated?

My goodness my friend. There are like a Ba-Zillion things you can do.
How 'bout VT, NH, Maine, then into Canada up to Cabot Trail Nova Scotia?
There are a ferry or 2 if you are interested in ferrying your bike.
Something like that? More details can be shared.

I'd also look into some Rocky Mtn rides. Leaves will be changing soon and the peaks should start seeing snow soon. Your idea about the Blue Ridge is a good one also. Ride up to Maine! It's nice there.

Well with the college season coming up, make a stadium tour of the NE different game each week for part of the trip, and you should definitely do New England or the Adirondacks in the fall.

,Jackson, wy through Teton National Park, Yellowstone NP, then west in Going to the Sun Road in Glacier National Park. Then Lolo Pass Hwy 12 across Idaho. Connect to 84 west in Oregon, ride the Colombia Gorge all the way to the coast then 101 south along the coast until you connect with the PCH in California…ride the redwoods, Big Sur…then head east before getting to LA….then Tioga Pass Hwy in Yosemite.
You’ll thank me, .it doesn’t get any better than this.

Doing something similar in two weeks.
We did the NE a few years ago with friends and I would like to go back. It was a great trip and got to see a lot of beautiful places, but out west is where it is at. IMHO

That's all some great ideas! I have only trailered my bike to most of the places I have been . With the exception of riding the Natchez Trace all the way to Nashville and back home. I about 40 miles from New Orleans. I am not familiar with any of those rides mentioned and would have to research them. The southern states I obviously know well. These are all good! I don't plan to ride for the 6 months but thinking maybe 5-6 days if possible!
