Hey all, so after my two big treks over the last few year I have 22 states marked down for having visited them while on my bike
So, this year (May 26th) I will be knocking out a huge chunk of them by going from Baltimore, Birmingham, Dallas, Aztec, round the four corners, clip the bottom of Nevada, California is a bit grey, going to be led up the coast by a triumph (t100) buddy, Portland, Bozeman, Fargo, Saginaw, and back to bmore....this should let me color in the bottom of the map pretty well (I will be taking detours into TN, MS, AK, OK, etc)
So if you are along my route and want to tag in for a bit, have some "ya gotta stop at" advice, or any other input, let's have it.

Your drop from Spokane to Portland is going to make you miss some amazing roads. If you have time, think about taking SR2 from Spokane to Seattle then follow 101 down to 30 then over to Portland.

Heck, I'd even say once in Montana, head 'er up and over the 49th then over to Vancouver, BC, (to see some of the best of God's green earth) then drop down to Seattle and onward as Z suggested. See ya in June(ish) Bill!

Chateau Friar has a spare bed and a garage if you need it. It's 60 miles or less off the beaten path.
EDIT: Actually I probably won't be back yet from Arizona and California if you hit here the first couple weeks of June. But if not and you need help while passing through I can hook you up.

Same offer here on your last leg (between I and A). I might even be tempted to join you a good portion of the way home as I have a daughter in Martinsburg and I don't get there near enough.

Ya know Bill, if I'm readin' your projected itinerary and dates correctly here, you're going to pass very closely by Prescott AZ just a few days before the Southwest Triumph Fest begins on June 1st. And so, I don't know how "carved in stone" your dates are at this point, but if you could move your ride back just a couple of days, you'll be able to attend this shindig for at least a day or so and meet some terrific people here...including the good Friar.

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

I think you meant, "Meet some terrific people here, and Friar."

Yep! I must be slippin' lately!!!
(...but then again, you saw evidence of THAT last June when I started to walk into that Moto Guzzi dealer while we were on our way to get that Harley you rented, huh?!)
