Kind of in a dead zone here. To much snow to ride, not enough to ski. So, I am thinking about next summer. I would head out late May or early June.....

Across Canada to Newfoundland and back via Sturgis.
South to Mexico city, and back via Sturgis.
South East to Key West and back via Sturgis.

I have some time to think.....

Wow Bob those are quite the selections!
Not sure if your cross Canada trip (that's if you select it) will bring as far south as us in Southwestern Ontario, but if it does be sure to let us know.
Suzie and I are currently wintering in Playa Del Carmen Mexico. I have posted some pictures in the "Off Topic" section.
Cheers, Terry

Right now the NFL trip gets the juices flowing the most. And I do want to spend sometime in Ontario. If so, let's coffee. Enjoy Mexico. I woke up to 6 inches of snow on the Ram this morning. ⛷

Thanks for the compliment. It was a fun summer.

Never been back East ever, except once I flew into Toronto for a two week computer course. It is why I am so pumped about heading that way.

I thought i would ride all the way to Newfoundland in Canada, taking as many back roads as I can and explore my Home and Native Land. Then head back via the US south of Maine and hit Sturgis on the way back. The plan is to head out early June and then take about 10 weeks to do the trip.

It will be a different trip than last summers. Camping and short days. Maybe catch a few baseball games along the way.

Default Blue Harley, Blacktop, Green Fields, White Clouds....and.... Pink Floyd

Here is a little gift to all of those who listened to my incessant babbling and put with with my travels, day after day after day, on Darla this summer.

When you open the link, it the music button right away. A different window will open up, wait until the add says you can skip, then make sure the song is at the beginning, then switch back over the Slide Show window.

It is about 20 minutes long. This is some of the music Roger Waters played at Desert Trip in early October at Indio, California.

I took almost all of the pictures, except for a few which will be self evident.

I might make a Youtube video out of this during this winter.

If you have problems viewing, or hearing, let me know. This WONT work on your iPhone, you need a computer with decent speakers to get the full effect.

Enjoy.....I sure did.
