Looking for support?

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: mespock

On June 10th I'm taking Cassie on a 5,000+ mile motorcycle ride for her Graduation present. She asked for this a long time ago when she was 10 years old. Out of my entire family she's my motorcycle buddy. Always making sure I take it out. Always asking for rides.

What I am looking for are LVC members who may live along the way that may offer some support in case of emergency or break down. (Not that I expect my Goldwing to break down).

I have a few friends along the way. Just looking for extra support if anyone is willing to offer.

Also, I'd be happy to here of any points of interest or places to avoid.

We will be taking the Bad Lands Loop in SD, Alt Rout Hwy 14 in WY.

We plan on going through Yellowstone, Redwood National Park, Yosemite, The Grand Canyon, Royal Gorge, Rock Mountain National Park.

I'm hoping to do this in 14 to 16 days. Time will depend on Cash Flow, Daughter's ability to Ride the distance, and Daughter's lack of seeing her B/F and how well she's able to get reception on her cell phone.

I thought you might take that little scooter along. You could put it in the trunk of your TC.

Yeh, Yeh.

Sounds like a great excuse to me to get away from the Mrs.

Nothing rekindles the flame quite like getting out of the house for 2 weeks, eh Rich.
