My riding partner is moving back to MI from TN and he keeps asking me about plans for our trip in 2022?

We haven't really been on a trip together for several years due to his moving out-of-state, the virus, etc., etc.

Next season may again be determined by (and if) the virus but hopefully it won't be factor in our plans.

I'm thinking "west" as in taking RT 50, he wants northwest (back up to Montana) and my wife wants to go back to the southwest!

I keep telling both of them that I'm not too sure of how many miles I may be able to do as I really need to rest up after that 100,000 mile 100 day ride that WE took recently!

 

"I really need to rest up after that 100,000 mile 100 day ride that WE took recently!"
yeah... know what ya mean... well.... no I don't

 

I see there is a HOG rally in Iowa in July - wife and I are planning to attend. Come along and lets have some fun.

 

Was thinking of going to Tennessee motorcycle and music festival. But my ride trip buddy backed out. So now I’m unsure of what ride trips I’ll do next year. Cross country ride trips are my favorite. Especially if I plan a route using highway instead of interstate.

 

planning a trip to Glacier I used to live at Cut Bank for a few years back in the 80's and haven't been back since!!
meeting up with a good friend of mine from central Washington, we did the Beartooth and Wyoming last September and plan on the Black hills in 2023

 

We've been to Cut Bank a few times and stayed at the "Teepee" motel a couple of times.
Nice, friendly little town.
On one of our early trips we left Cut Bank one morning on our way to GNP and it was raining and 46 degrees!
Years later (2007?) we were on another trip up through GNP and into Canada when we left our rig in Cut Bank and when we returned to Cut Bank we got caught in a heavy thunderstorm and had to dart in to a car was for cover and again he temps were below 50 degrees

Town cop came by and invited us to the "cop shop" for coffee and donuts but we thanked him but declined on his thoughtful gesture as we were within a mile or so from our motel.

 

when I lived there I cant tell you how many times I would get caught in a pop up thunderstorm and it was almost always between Browning and Cut Bank and in those days I was too young and too stupid to run a front fender on my bike!! and no rain gear so you just suffered through it!! Lol

 

I've got a coast-to-coast planned for August - September next year, including covering RT-66 from Chicago to Santa Monica.

 

Sounds like some good trips planned.
December... already thinking of next year.
Colorado Utah maybe.
Would love to swing over to Cali and the Sierras.
We'll see..

 

Did New England in 2020 and all over Tennessee and 6 other states in 2021. The virus had no impact on either trip. Just go. 👍
