Planing for the 2010 season

I do my thing and the Ol does her thing .
But if she thinks I'm going riding her thing changes to she wants to go with me riding.
Riding comes 1st here.
She will stop anything to go Ride man.

Pretty much the same here as with cardboard. We both have our own projects going and I will ride pretty much any time the temp is aove 18 degrees and dry. But when the weather is warmer, say around 40, and the bike rolls off the carport, she's right there with me - both together - and that's the way I like it. We're both looking forward to taking the Ultra down to the Smokies or somewhere like that.

Plan it now and sit back and count the days until it's time to roll - in the meantime there's always the short hops on the spur of the moment - somtimes those trips turn out better than the ones that ya plan for mouths in advance.

Got into a web site with all the rallies for 2010 - And I think I've come up with a plan.
Leave NE Indiana and ride to Maggie Valley NC. for the Rally there -then head down to Panama City Fl. for Thunder on the Beach from there up to see First Lady and then the Natchez Trace with a stopover in Nashville for some country music and then back home.
About 2000 miles round trip.
Then money and health permitting STURGIS in Aug.
And I still can't get the OL interested in ridin 2 up - she says she is going to follow behind with the cage. At least I'll have a rollin garage behind me if I run into trouble.
No Daytona this year I guess.

Maybe in downtown Sturgis there are no rooms, but in the out laying areas there will be rooms, if you have the money. Sometimes we reserve a room about this time of year and sometimes we wait until just before we leave home. But we do always call ahead to make sure we have a place to stay. We usually stay in Rapid City. It’s about 30 miles from Sturgis. In the early 2000’s we stayed a few times in Custer, SD they have there on little rally going there. Every little place tries to make a few bucks during Rally week as it is Rally week in all the Black Hills not just Sturgis. The big popular campgrounds are close to Sturgis is where most of the concerts are and most of the really exotic stuff goes on. There are bikes of all kinds everywhere. The locals that don’t like the rally usually just leave town for that week so they don’t have to deal with it. The rest look forward to it.
For your first time I would do a lot of research before going. Don’t get in a hurry to get anywhere and you’ll be fine.
I usually look for a room on the internet. price can be from $89.00 to $200.00 plus.

Maggie Valley is about 100 miles give or take. That would be a neat trip. Hadn't been there since both of the kids were small and we took them to Tweetsie Railroad - Ghost Town in the Sky.

Just added arnother stop (must do thing)- Will be going to Wheels of time Museum in Maggie Valley,NC
Checked out their web site and fiquired if I don't get er done on this trip I might not have another chance.
So far have had good luck getting set up for the ride, with a lot of flexibly built in for side trips.
Also thought about stopping at Stone Mountain,Ga. to see the civil war diorama on the way down to Panama City,FL.

Wheels in Maggie is an excellent stop!! Every single bike he has in the Museum runs and he runs around starting them up and talking to every one. Was impressed!! Stone Mt is an excellent stop as well.....but towards evening to watch the light show on the mountain side is really neat. Another nice stop or short trip for all in Ohio- Indianna area is Vintage Days at Mid-Ohio off I-71 in August.

Guess I should consider myself a Lucky dude !

With my OL having 7 brothers, she likes to do Guy things.

That pretty much leaves me open to do whatever I want to .:rant:

And riding my Scoot is a Plus in her book.
She sits on the back of the scoot and like gits Lost after sittin at a desk all the tiime doing Finnance work.

I pull in to git gas and ask are you O.K. back there ?

She will be lost.

Like takin somebody to the Thearpist or something.

My wife has her own 2009 Nightster she rides.

But if I ride she had rather ride with me.
I ride a lot harder and faster than she wants to ride.

Man the clouds are gone and the sun is out.

Its going to about 60* today.

I'm going back out on the bike.

Mayor always told me he was going to trade me for two 20 year olds i quickly told him he was not wired for 2/20 year olds lol:roflmao:

Cardboard...u lucky dog...lol...its a snow storm here today with snow blowing and drifting......lol....winter is so beautiful to look at today...but the cold and no bike ride sucks!!!!!!
