So, now that I am back from the Smokies and Buelltoberfest, I am looking into planning my third motorcycle trip of the year... I HAVE to take eleven days off December 23rd through January 2 because we have a MANDATORY shutdown of operations at that time... ten hours may be unpaid... or paid on sick time... I was thinking of going to Miami to visit a friend and riding to the Keys to camp, hauling the bike down. But now I am thinking, what the heck? If it involves a trailer, why not shoot through the rockies down to New Mexico, Arizona and Southern California? I would be taking camping gear and doing it real cheap, staying with people and maybe sacking out in National Forests... Any thoughts? Anyone in those areas want a visitor? Spending X Mas in Albequerque or San Diego sounds real nice! |

Post that question to the So CA Buell (SCAB) group on Meetup.com - that'd be Al Lighton, EBear and all the other mis-fits. |

Jody, I think meeting up with you and Frank and Lynn would be a lot of fun... where are you again? I will check out the so cal site, too. Just gotta write down the password, etc before I forget it. No rush, I still have about two months to plan and decide. |

Al and the Socal Buell riders would be my biggest reason to go SoCal, being a NorCal Native That would be a great trip for you! |

Char, Lynn and I have off the 23 to the 27th Dec and you are welcome to stay with us. Lynn and I talked about it and we were thinking of a one night get away somewhere and of course you are welcome to join us. Maybe we can talk Jody into breaking away for a night as well. (we do not plan that far in advance so it is really up in the air) Just know you have a place to stay. Frank and Lynn |

Hey Char What I was thinking is staying a night or 2 at the Mount Princeton Hot Springs and resort and then renting a cabin. There are plenty of sleeping in those things ...one main bedroom for Frank and I and and a loft with a 2 queen beds for you and jody. Just give us a holler!! |

Why would Jody need a separate bed? You are talking about a guy who sleeps under a tarp in a major sh*tstorm! Let's talk soon. I am getting some long overdue work done on the Saturn and looking into my options for a trailer. Jeff, I do not have rabbits here, but a couple of stuffed bears. You can come up this way and bring the Black (Flying) Squirrel. |

I've been all up and down the East Coast throughout my life. There's always people and traffic, no matter how far out in the country you go. I just did a bike trip out west, and it's the way to go. Yeah, lots of straight roads, but there are curves buried in there and the scenery is just outstanding. When you're ready for civilization again, SoCal is a very neat place with tons of great riding. |
