Even though I decided not to do it again, is anyone up for a CaliRally? Mid July or so?

Thanks...We don't want to stretch Jerry too much. But Colorado would be a nice ride from here...."Time is the greatest teacher; unfortunately, it kills all of its students."Comment

You had mentioned the middle of July and since Colorado is pretty close to you it probably wouldn't be a good idea to overlap.
Wasn't sure if you knew or not.Greg

Maybe we can pick a day in the middle and switch camps. Only about 1100 miles or so...."Time is the greatest teacher; unfortunately, it kills all of its students."Comment

Rally
Howdy LoHo,,long time,, a bunch of us are heading up to the Colo.Rally in july so this summer might be stretching it but next summer is definately doable for a lot of us. However, if one was to do a rally in August before school starts that could work for me. Hope your school year is flowing along,,,summer is coming. Hope the Bxxxtch bike is running good for you and see you soon, Mike in SUn DIegomike

Just the thought of riding cross country through Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada in the middle of July makes me ... ummm.. Nope.
One of these days, I'm going to get out to Cali and ride up the coast, but it won't be in July or August. lol.Try your hardest to be the kind of person your dog thinks you are.

You should be far enough north on 40 to be ok. If you take 20 you drop into hell about fort Stockton tx.81 LH in process

lol.. A couple hundred miles north and a couple of degrees difference isn't nearly far enough to make July/August riding any less awful. At least down on I10/20, you get to go 90-100mph with speed limits of 85. A lot of I-40 is 55-65mph, and I've been pulled over twice for doing 5 over. If you aren't doing 100 down on I10/20, you better be in the slow lane!Try your hardest to be the kind of person your dog thinks you are.
