We ride in from all over the place and most take the long way coming and going.
By the way, wouldn't it be the same distance if your riding or not? Just saying! Ride when you can.
Distance yes time no. My girlfriend is not going to log 12 hour days on the slab. I used to ride everywhere now i have to choose my battles. If it comes to choosing riding alone vs trailering and having her on vacation with me that's a no brainer.

I'm lucky this time I guess. My new Chicky road with me from Charleston, SC, to and from Sturgis (1800 one way) and it was friggin hot.
Never heard a negative word from her and she's really new to bikes
I am beginning to care less and less for riding on the interstates on my bike.
In and around Birmingham, for example, bikers get ZERO respect from most cages and big trucks. I plan and avoid the slabs on my bike as much as I can, others may do as they wish, whatever.
"Here lies the body of William Jay, who died defending His right of way.
He was right, dead right, as He sped along, but He's just as dead as if He were wrong".
Who cares how you get there but do it once - been many times and rode in my younger days with the wife - now in our mature years we trailer - don't care what people think anymore but I still put on about 25k a year.
I doubt that anyone cares how someone gets there or if they go at all. The fact is there are many riders that ride their bikes all over. A lot of them go to the rally but a lot don't. I bought my bikes to ride all over the place. The rally is just a stop over on a trip to many places. In this case I can't use a trailer because going back to get it would not allow me the time it takes to make the trip. There is a lot to be said for motorcycle trips. It's a way of life unknown to many. A truck and trailer trip is a truck and trailer trip, not a motorcycle trip. It has little to do with the rally itself.

Hey David Phillips: Your new to this forum and this is how you want to start. I would recommend your next post be about what type of oil to use and why your oil is the best!
