Hey come on out to Oregon! I'm in Astoria, the very furtherest northwest corner on the beautiful Columbia River. I'd be happy to escort you later to Portland, hotbed of apostates, on my 'Vulcan 800!

PS, lots of extra space downstairs with private bath, shower and sauna
Im in. Not only that but I will take my cycle out and ride with you a bit if you dont mind. Im in NJ. Heres a sweet idea: lets get a bunch of cycles together and head to the old pyramid grave site.
Hey, you guys are getting me psyched! Some great ideas! And photo ops! My friend whose idea this was originally, is talking about maybe next May. I don't know if my project will work out with what he wants to do or not. But I told him we could ride parts of the trip together and parts solo if that works out better. Right now I'm looking at a Triumph America (835cc) and Honda Shadow (750cc). Anybody know if Harley makes something in the 900cc range that's not too pricey? The Triumph and Honda are in the $6-7K range. I don't want a big 1200. Any other suggestions on bikes or luggage? I think the bikers on this board are coming out of the woodwork! Definitely gotta do the pyramid! Pay homage to the idiot that got this whole mess started. I have a few ideas of how to do that.

Main Street USA - come on thru Kendallville, Indiana.
We have a great little lake with a campground here. A major Bluegrass festival fills the Fairgrounds every Memorial Day weekend. I mean maybe 10,000 folks camp there and jamm for three days - might be a nice time for weary bikers.

Knoxville Tennessee here, and I would love to be featured in your documentary. I also have a spare bedroom, and would be willing to sleep on the floor if necessary. You both would be welcome in my apartment.

If you go to Dallas, you can stop in Little Rock, AR on your way down there. I'd be happy to participate.

Anyone else interested in getting together? To provide you a measure of assurance that I'm not a total freako, I will email anyone with copies of two IDs, before you give me your contact info. These are special IDs. One is from the Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services. As I work in the security industry, I must be certified with a criminal background check and my fingerprint cards are on file with the Virginia State Police and the F.B.I. The other ID shows that I am a volunteer firefighter with Loudoun County, Virginia. This also required a criminal background check. I will also provide all of my personal contact info before you send yours. All I'm asking for at this time is your city and state, so I can begin to look at how I can route myself. Hey, and you don't have to agree to be videotaped to be a stop on the tour. I'd just love to meet you! My personal email is [email protected].
DocBob, Jimbo and Asheron, can you tell me what city you're in or near? All I've got so far is Maine, Idaho and NJ. You can PM me if you want.
Thanks all!
Lebanon/Hanover, NH (home of Dartmouth College) & White River Junction, VT all come together here....sign me up
BTTT--- Yes, stop by Knoxville, I still want to be interviewed. I work as a Sheriff's Corrections Officer, so we have similar lines of work. Tennesee is next door to you, stop by. Dave
Hey, thanks, Dave! The dream moves closer to reality. To update everybody, last Wednesday I took possession of a 2002 BMW R1150RT with 13,500 miles. After not having been on a bike for 35 years (my last bike was a Honda CB350), the size and weight of this bike is a little intimidating. I took it out for the first time yesterday and put a grand total of six miles on it! Well, I've got a ways to go to get really comfortable with it, but since we're not planning on leaving until May 1, I should get plenty of riding time in. Starting to map out a course, connecting the dots of those of you who have responded. Still got a lot of long lonely days of riding with no visits. Anybody interested in being added to the tour? Looking for stops in Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania. As long as you're not too far (30 minutes is OK) from the interstate.
