Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk 2 Nawwww, Matt. We're coming up on Wednesday, leaving Sunday. This is to get some riding in without the weekend nimrods in their Honda Civics and Nissan whatevers like last year's clusterfook. As good as riding on Sunday sounded, it was painful as I'm sure you'll recall. But I AM planning to come back in July for a week or two. I might even ride the VFR up! And then the Ponte Vedra Beach Crew heads to Portland Oregon in September for 7 days on rented RTs, like we did for 8 days in Utah last October. Gotta love that sort of thing.....fly in, ride, fly out. And no chains to lube!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baileyrock Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 I'll be leading a small group of Canadians, HS and a few others on a 400+ mile loop over Wednesday. We'll be tired and thirsty! BR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Dutchy Posted May 8, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted May 8, 2013 My 2012 pictorial got smashed in the last VFRD meltdown, so let me use an old picture to remind me of the good old times and wish you a sizzling 2013 event!

Well.......I remember the trouble with the Audi's, but also some of the best riding I've been able to do in a long time. I'll be coming in on Thurs morning now. I have always wanted to go do a fly in, ride, fly out for off roading in Arizona or Nevada. Open land and a GS1250 and I'm a happy man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthshake Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 So, it seems if I choose to arrive Tuesday afternoon/evening there will be a few others available to sit around the warmth of the Sterno fire and imbibe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This time of year we have to expect the Kar Klubs to invade the area, but that huge mess last year in the Russell Scenic area was a real mess. Must have been 800 of 'em. Yeah, this deal of fly in and renting an RT or GS is great. Actually, I had a Triumph Tiger 800 for our Utah trip, and it was a sweet bike. Norm had an F800 and Donis and Steve had RTs. All came with big hardbags, all had new tires waiting for us. Fantastic trip, simply amazing scenery all thru 2000 miles of central and southern Utah. We're still talking about that trip, so we're hoping our Oregon/Washington trip will be similarly outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer MaxSwell Posted May 8, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted May 8, 2013 Utah is easily my favorite place to visit and ride. Moab to Zion is fabulous. Northeast Utah from Flaming Gorge to Moab is equally fabulous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trace Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 This has got to be on a calendar! Yaknow...funny you should say that. Cuz we kept saying on this trip that it was like "riding into a calendar picture" as we came around every bend in the road. Some places seemed otherworldly, every place was beautiful. And it went on like this for 2000 miles. Moab. Wasatch mountains. Zion. Canyonlands. Bryce Canyon. Cedar City. Grand Staircase. Capitol Reef. Wow..... This has got to be on a calendar! I'll be damned, he really is King of the World! Ahhhhhh.....it's King Of Earth, please. Get it right or "off with your head!" And you'll get a kick to know that Tall Steve actually said "Hey, stand there and do your "King of Earth" pose and I'll snap it. If you right-click the picture, you can see its title.....Tracy-KingOfEarth. Too funny!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Havagan Posted May 8, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted May 8, 2013 I get there the 22nd and will probably solo ride the 23rd to get reacquainted with the mountains. I may go up a day or two early if the weather is nice and the work schedule allows. Scenic ride on the 24th (sweeping!) Relaxed ride on the 25th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
