    sounds like a good idea, I am tired of winters too, been thinking about maybe west Texas, maybe the Hill Country, San Angelo, Big Springs or some place like that, just don't know if I can get that far away from the mountains.

    CB - 85 sounds great - 28 here with lows in the 20's - I'm ready for a little sweat or a lot as long as I don't hear or see anything about snow and ice. :)
    Got my reservations made today and was able to move up our arrival time by one day so that will give the OL a chance to get her feet wet before I start running around to all the different places in PCB - really lookin foreward to this years bash.

    I'm thinking about going to Seattle this summer. Up across Wyoming and through Idaho in to Washington and then back down the west coast and maybe across Hwy 50 through Nevada again. I'd hit Canyonlands this time.

    HarleysLR - When I went through Texas last year, it was 109 in June. This was a good winter for riding here. I'm sick of putting on the chaps every time I go for a ride, but between the mountains and the amazing dry summers, I wouldn't trade Colorado for Texas. Sorry, no offense Texas guys. Love ya, but I've been a northern girl most of my life. That heat kills me.

    Still planning to hit PCB - leavin on Tues for 2 weeks down in sunny Florida :)- only problem is the weather don't seem to want to cooperate :banghead:- forecasting heavy rain and maybe tornados on the way down. So I might have to modify some travel plans :mad:- but it ain't going to keep me from going.:D
    Got a call from First Lady and she is also going down to meet with the OL and me - should be a good time if the dang rain stays north of us.:cheers:

    Go to Uhaul and rent a enclosed trailer and some straps.
    Check the height. And you might have to rent some ramps.

    Well I found a bike trailer finally and we hauled it down to Florida - weather was great all the way down - we skipped between the tornados and the weather in Panama City has been in the mid 80's with lows in the 60's at nite. Riding is heaven after being closed in all winter. Lots of vendors , bike shows, broad shows and the tail end of spring break for college kids ( Oh if I was 40 years younger). Got some great pics to share when I get back home. OL is going crazy with all the shopping places down here. Probably have to apply fer a gov loan just to git home - but I don't care - like I said the weather is beautiful and the riding is outstanding - must be upword of half million bikes running all over the place. :D

Got home to find out the crapper in my bath room is leaking thru the wax seal so got to repair that while I still have a floor to nail it to. :roflmao:
