I've got some training that I have to go to in April - hoping to take the bike instead of flying. Also, may take some training in Milwaukee in June - ride the bike, get paid for mileage, go see the HD museum - oh, and hubby will go and go for day trips while I'm in training both times.

Cheers to all you road-warriors.
