I can be down with that... but I don't wanna alienate some of the western people...

and how long you thinking? a run up to Main would be cool... (again trying to meet my goal)

or maybe over to Colorado? we could all crash at my pad... and those who made the trip over from the west could just continue home...

all depends on how long ya wanna go...

I think this would be a cool ass trip...
Gap to cape Breton, Nova Scotia


don't pay attention to the "destinations" I just put them there to kinda vary the route... I'd rather not take the same route home as I took getting there...


this might be a bit long for a lot of people... and it'd require all to get their passports... (something you should have already really) but it's just over 4000 miles. I'd say 10 days for this trip... it's 400 miles a day... that's if you start at the gap... I'll be coming from CO so... probably add 2 or 3 days on either side...

that's put me at 16 days off... MIGHT be pushing it... but if we can get a few people to go... I'll do it!

If it ends up in Cali, count me in. Just gotta remember to pay off that one ticket I got in Cali the day I went riding with Chappy I didn't pay because I came here.

Depends how long I'll be gone. We need chaser cars and shit. We'll see what my wife says. Anything in Cali should be bad ass. I rode some pretty sick twisties up that one day. Google "Magic Mountain". Images.

I think thats an awesome idea.

In case a bike breaks down, flats, food, you know? More like chaser trucks.

I'd be willing to put my bike in my truck and download it at the good spots. But I have an S10. No room for another bike. So if one breaks, I'd have to ride my bike back. This is if we have the same rally point anyway, which is doubtful.
