    Re: So what are your touring/riding plans for 2011?

    20,000 km from Toronto to Denver, then up to Vancouver, down the US 101 to San Diego, down the southern USA to about Mobile, AB, and back to Toronto, in 30-45 days, starting June 1st. Yeah, I'm crazy like that.

    I'd also like to catch the final space shuttle launch in Cape Canaveral on June 28, but we'll see if Congress funds that mission and how it fits into my schedule.
    With less than six months' riding experience, on my first bike -- a 600 cc, 110 BHP crotch rocket -- I rode 21,569 km around North America solo in 2011: ridermike.blogspot.com
    Don't let anyone tell you it can't be done, because I am living proof otherwise.

    Space has a terrible secret. We are here to protect you from the terrible secret of space.

    I plan on ripping around Ontario (keeping it local, son!) And not getting any tickets. That's the plan, at least...

    I had my big adventure last year, when I tore up the streets of Victoria, BC. The BEST roads in Canada!

    Hey Tom,

    I'm going to be riding around Ontario on a Honda ST for 40 days starting on June 13th. You can see my itinerary, or check out my blog as the trip progresses. I'm inviting anyone who wants to join up with us for whatever part of the trip they want, to come along. We've got an RV support vehicle so it should be good times in the far north of Ontario!

    Last week of April/first week of May, VA, NC, GA to ride the good roads, may stop at the gap, but I know better less congested roads with more turns.

    May/ June PA, day and 3 day trips

    July, head back to Europe to spend 2 weeks in the Alps again, this time with the Entire family again, I know it sucks, but someone has to do it

    Finally decided, after seeing some other posts, to go to the Barber Museum outside of Birminham AL.
    Not a lot of time so going down will be 2 days via slab, and then some more relaxed days coming back up the Blue Ridge Pkwy.

    That should help me fill in my little touring map!

    Not sure when you were thinking about going, but vintage bike festival on the museum grounds is worth the ride down.... I went last year and would like to go again at some point.
