Since this has turned into discussion about everything remotely related to the trips, I haven't followed. They've even resisted breaking out individual trip planning.

I am letting everybody get the tire mounting/bullet loader/gas tanking details out of their system.......I am just about to split out a more focused thread for the Suches trip....and it may also morph to include the KSL events.
(That thread will be Moderated and kept on topic). Wink

Stew ,

Meet us in North Florida on the 8th , or in Daytona on the 9th or 10 , or in South Florida for the 11th - 15th. (hope I got that right ? ) . Roll Eyes

I'll do some checking. If it were in the panhandlers I could do it on a weekend but getting over to the east side is tougher in a weekend trip. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Guys , ,

I've finally done it ! Embarrassed

Going to Bike week from the 8th to the 18th , has got "eye-brows" raised around my house. Seems , my wife and son are having to go Hungry without me around to cook for them (or so the excuse goes). Undecided

I'd like to go to ride the SiSterS again but April may be too soon for me to get away for a week again.

I'm not supposed to tell it yet , but , my Son may be graduating from the Air Force Boot-Camp in Texas sometime the first half of 2018 . Its Still in the planning stage so I don't know for sure yet . But if it works out that he does then , I'll put the Guzzi in the truck and the wife and I will head to Texas. for a week. I should know more by time I get back from Florida.

I think I find-out just where the Air Force Boot Camp is. ?

There will be some other events going on this summer - the locations and dates are up for discussion.

Kick Stand Lodge - I plan on going to this area a couple of times this summer. July is going to be pretty busy for me as my wife and I will be on vacation July 14-21. These trips could be planned in advance - or have the potential to be last minute if the weekend weather looks appealing.

On August 4th & 25th Deals gap is having evening races for 50cc bikes in their parking lots - the Kick Stand Lodge is just 15 minutes down the road and it might be fun to go watch the races and then head home to the peaceful campground at KSL.....does anyone have a preference for August 4th or 25th (plan on the 4th and rain date to the 25th?).

MMR are you still interested in Beartooth/Cody?

verslagen1 wrote on 12/15/17 at 21:18:07:

I looked at m/c roads and if we stay at red lodge, beartooth hwy is it.
But if we stay in Cody there's 4 different loops to go on.
1. cody via chief joesph to beartooth to redlodge about 115 miles.
2. cody to yellerstone 100 miles
or 2 more roads towards little big horn for 150 miles each.
so 2 to 300 day rides.

and a cabin for 4 at $66
http://www.codyponderosa.com/rates/rates.html

restaurants, museums and I'm sure there's a hospital for jog. Grin

I would love to !

Are we talking ... August ... ? not nessarly Sturgis , but durning the late Summer dry spell.

................................

It will take me three days ride to get into the Black Hills area at 500 miles a day , and three days to get back .
So
Lets see who else wants to go , I might be able to share gas and driving with someone .
Its only one days (Long Day) ride to Lancers house. .
Maybe somebody else might have the same idea ?

............................................................................

You , going to be able to get off work OK ?
and
What time frame you thinking ?

I'd Know that Face Anywhere !

My truck (Ranger plus-cab XLT). 4L engine (20 ish- mpg)

or

I've got a 5x8 (Tractor Supply-Black-Friday Sale) low-riding, Ramp Trailer made to haul two Motorcycles (wheel-catchers and boards to roll wheels on) , but nothing great to pull it with. Its the diamond metal that air can flow through. I've got a Astro Van to pull it with but MPG is 16-17- ish with the trailer behind it. I took it to pick up the Guzzi.
I'll measure the rear opening of the Van tomorrow. I'm sure the mirrors and windshields would have to come off and the two rear bench seats taken out , but if they would fit inside then the Van gets 26-22 mpg running 65-72 mph ...

So far I see you considering a trip from your house of about three to four days to get there and three to four days to get back at a fuel cost per person of at least $50-60 per day plus food and lodging. And so far you seem to be planning to take a major vehicle and tow the bikes.

Such a long expensive trip needs more to it than a simple getting there and getting back again. String some place/event beads on this thread and it might get more interesting to do.

Planning 500 miles a day means ~8~ hours on the road a day. On four lane superhighways, for day after day.

For me, I see two days spent to get to your house, going slow enough to make it enjoyable, staying off the four lane roads as much as I might be able to. And this is done riding the bike.

This is all I see at this stage of planning. You had mentioned Lancer's place as a stayover previously, is that still what you are thinking?

Might you consider splitting this off into a separate discussion thread so the others interested in the trip might chime in?
