[Todd]

Joe, I posted this in the travel planning section if you didn't see it......would like to see what you have in mind too.....

Man, I'll bet I have played with this route a hundred times.......this is kinda where I am now......sure to be edited over the next couple months...

Hey all, Just a FYI. As a newbie and late comer I just made my Custer lodging arrangements. Bavarian said only rooms left at $100 a night and up. Pretty foolish for one old guy by himself, but they refered me to Rocket Motel as nice, clean, close by option. Rocketmotel.com is their web site. Anyway looked good, talked to owner, got room with Queen bed, refer & micro, 4 nights (Mon-Thur) $48 a night including tax. So when I get there I will either be smart or stupid depending on how it turns out,,, but they seemed nice over the phone.

Dave:

Tried to post the maps I put together from google maps but it just doesn't work for me, so check your email. I worked on the trip to Custer and divided it up into 3 riding days, both Interstate and State Roads.

Appreciate your thoughts and comments. I'll look at your map this weekend.

I'm sure you have the bestest route planned Joe. Me on the other hand, I would be lucky to get us there by July.

I will not be able to attend the National Rally. :(
Laid the bike down over the weekend and I've lost my riding mojo. My wife is terrified for me to even get on the road again. We'll have to see how that plays out. Major moral dilemma going on now. I need to heal and get the bike repaired before any other major decisions are made..... ???

You'll get your mojo back Joe....hope it's in time for Custer, but if not, we understand.

Joe, I'm glad you made home safely and hope your mojo is just hiding in a new saddlebag somewhere. When your ride is back together we'll get Ron to plan a lunch meet in your area to help heal...hang in there kiddo,

Sorry to hear that you laid your bike down Joe. I didn't know you were the other one. We sure would like to see you up there. But WE, US, who have laid a bike down before certainly understand, and I'm quite certain that being married when you do that compounds the problem.

You can bet your "B"hind tha road to Custer ain't gonna have a buncha twistty turnee's.

Might I refer you to Blowndoge for help with Moral Dilemmas?

I wish you and your bike a speedy recovery

Well, since Joe is now on the IR, looks like maybe trosco and I may be the only ones heading up from FL for the rally. Earliest I will probably be able to leave is Thursday (if Tammy doesn't go) or Friday morning (if Tammy goes).

David, if you see this chime in. Todd, do you know which route you are taking out?

I am planning to go out this route

the northern part of it.......this was just a return that I was thinking about on the southern part......

I actually took another day so I dont have to be back until Tuesday now.

Todd,
Might be a good idea to check the long range weather forecast before you leave and then decide what route to take. No sense in riding into a tornado if you can avoid it ;) (Unless Coach wants to use it as a photo op :) )

Joe, I was just browsing the other regions and saw this. You are talking and typing so that is most important. When I laid mine down last year I was 500 miles from home so I all day to get my Mojo back since after a little bending she was still rideable. We will miss you in Custer but there'll be another time.

Todd,

Looked at your route and part of that is mine. I will ride up on 385 in Nebraska. What day are you planning on being up that road? Maybe we can hook up at Bridgeport.
