always wanted to go to alaska...now i find out that i may not be able to cross into canada because of an old d.w.i.. riding the continental divide from border to border might be fun on a dual-sport bike. just throw a dart at a map of the u.s.a., change the oil and check your tire pressure, and head out--staying off the interstate as much as possible.

 

This was the funnest ride I've been on to date and it was well worth it.

This year I plan on hitting the west coast up to Washington State, maybe into Canada, and come down through Glacier National Park.

 

Now that sounds like the perfect ride to me.

 

Three years till retirement and I'm planning to just take off till I get ready to come home, or the money runs out. Told the wife she was welcome to come, but I'm going regardless.
I like Colorado, and Wyoming the best, but I haven't been everywhere. Right here at home is pretty darn good also.

 

Looking forward to doing that myself when I retire and have the time to take my time.I told my wife my plan is to take a year for this trip. She is welcome to come along if she wants or she fly out and meet me and ride until she has had enough or misses the grandchildren.
I have already seen a lot of the USA and Canada but always rushing to get home to go back to work.
When I retire I can take my time if I find a place I like I can stay for a few days and explore or wait out bad weather . No rush to get home for work.
Thats freedom but I worked hard for over forty years to get it .

 

New Mexico, Arizona, Utah and Colorado.....do a trip hitting all four states and you will see an incredible change of scenery that encompasses it all......

 

No coast line in those states

 

I read an article once about a guy who road all 50 states in 50 days. He even included Hawaii by renting a bike ride the islands. That seems like the perfect trip to me and the timeframe seems flexible enough to see plenty of sites in each state.

 

Sounds like he was on a schedule though...........rather just go and drift along at whatever pace I feel like on that particular day.

 

I started planning my next trip. It'll be 7-10 days long, some of it camping in National forests, some of it in hotels (got to recharge batteries on cameras).

I'm working on an itenerary which includes gas stops. I won't be following the itenerary though. It is only for planning purposes while I try to find things to see while on my trip such as waterfalls, overlooks, side streets, etc.

I'm going from Fl to the mountains of N.C. but instead of taking the fast way this year, I'm going thru Ga. and the first mountain to stop at is Stone Mountain. It's been 30 years since Ive seen it. But then again, I just might take the fast way to the BRP
