So....thinking of doing this ride. Haven' been yet. Looking at my paper map!!!!!! I was thinking of breaking up the slab ride deeking off 70 now and then onto a lesser parallel route. Anything that is about a 40 min ride or so off the superhighway. Would this be a waste of my time or a nice little diversion from going 80 mph for hours.
I was going to start from Colorado Springs. I havent even started to look at where to go yet, but maybe pikes peak, moab, million dollar highway, the usual. I was going to give myself 2 weeks for the trip in total, I can add a couple days if need be.
Im not much of a dawdler, nor a heavy sightseerer. I have no problem riding for 8 ,12, 14 or 16 hours straight. although the 14 to 16 hour days can take it out of you, pretty hard to do those back to back to back.
I wasn't planning on the grand Canyon, to much traffic and hey! I've been to the one in PA!!
I should clarify, starting from port hope area. Crossing at dee-triot, then south to 70.
On the fence whether to take the F650gs, killer fuel mileage, the the hayabusa, fuel mileage sucks, but, smiles for miles. plus I find it a very relaxing and soothing ride on the busa.
So any suggestions on routes across, some roads you found you liked out west that aren't the typical, good campgrounds and whatnot.
cheers
