Well I got a touring bike might as well use it. I've rode to Daytona a couple of times but this will be for sure a trip of a life time.Leaving Georgia Sunday and going west on I-40. Detour up to Utal.Check out the Grand Canyon then to Vegas.Desided this week I may go on to Yosemite and then to San Francisco. From there going north to Yellowstone park and then to Deadwood. Then I start making my way back home. Going to do take a tent and camp out when I can.
Don't forget to do some time on Route 66.
PS. I'm jealous.

And far as time goes I think it can be done in 2 to 3 weeks. I haven't made reservation anywhere and I don't have to be home anytime soon. I think Ive watch Wild Hogs to many times.

Sweet.... be sure to use some of the great advice that I got from my trip thread: https://www.hdforums.com/forum/road-...questions.html
Good luck and be careful.... remember Semi Trucks don't know how to use there brakes so they will just pull out in front of you for no FN reason at all. I think if they press on their brakes someone in their families gets killed or something... I'm almost certain of this! LOL
Stay at Motel 6 ... you can get in them for about 52 bucks a night and it is nice to have a shower and get a good nights rest. I only camped out twice and decided that it just isn't as nice as having a nice bed and shower. If you are like me you will drive about 13 hours or more a day.... and you will need your rest.
Talk with you soon, Ralph
