Your Dream Ride....

[DJinNH]

OK, let's just fire up the 'ole imaginations for a minute.

Ready? You've got a C-130 cargo plane, pilots and crew at your service to take you, your bike and your friends and their bikes anywhere you want to go. Where would you be off to?

Me? In the US, maybe out to Colorado, Utah, Monument Valley. Someplace where there are rocky areas and lakes that are beautiful to ride by.

Since my years have been spent mostly in New England and Florida, places like the FL Keys....been there, done that. Too many drunks on the road for my liking.

OK, now anywhere in the world.

I think I would enjoy cruising through Scotland, Ireland, etc. I would just have to hope it was a nice, warm and sunny time though.

One of these days, I may take the ferry from Portland, ME to Nova Scotia. Maybe ride on up to Halifax or something. I went there way back in '83 on a Coast Guard cutter and had a great time. Same with Scotland.

For me it would have to be the four corners area, riding from Phoenix up to the Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Zion and Kiabab National Forest. Done it a couple of times in a rented RV/Camper and it was a blast both times. I'd like to do it on a bike.

Hi Don,
Isle of Man. TT week. How could there be another choice?

[wingnut]

+1 on what Fred said. That would be the ultimate!

First, are we talking a C-130, or an AC-130 with all the firepower pointed out the left side? Also do I get to fly?

I'd probably drop a "care package" on my ex-wif's place then head to HI, and ride all over there. Then maybe the great wall of China, but I am not sure you can ride on it. I'd also like to see how my XS does on a Pike's peak hill climb. Oh and I can't forget I'd take my wife to some of those clothing optional beaches in south France. Although it may be kinda tough to get her to ride pillion in the buff....

Ok as much as I like the desert southwestern US I'd love to tour New Zealand...I've read so many good reports of the roads there...and a country that is like travelling back in time 50-60 years.

Bucket list

As long as we are dreaming out loud, I have always wanted to ride Ireland. From what I have heard it is one of the worlds most stunning rides. Maybe when the plane stops to refuel in Gander, a quick run around Newfoundland woukd also be possible. Ireland and Newfoundland are the two places you can go where everyone thinks you don't drink enough.

Well, some of the Canucks I've had the pleasure to meet might disagree....

Amen to that, we have some of the best riding roads in the world. The west coast of the South Island can't be beaten, and we have running water and that new fangled thing called electricity, hell we even have a computor somewhere.

Ummm...

If you go to Nova Scotia you have to do the Cabot Trail around Cape Breton.
