MisterBill 34 Posted December 31, 2019 Hi everyone, I retired May 3, 2019. I now have plenty of free time and I am actually planning to do some things I have put off for years (decades actually). First on my 'bucket list' is to take a motorcycle trip to the national parks out west (Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Nevada, Montana) or possibly all the way to the Pacific Ocean. Possibly take a Central route going out and a Northern route coming back. This would be sometime during June, July, 2020 time frame. Easy ride, plenty of stops along the way. Stay in motels, no camping. If anyone is interested in joining me in this adventure, I would be extremely delighted for the company. (male or female - no problem). I will be leaving from Villa Hills, KY (9 miles across the Ohio river from Cincinnati, OH). If you might be interested, call or text 859-466-2174. Bill Mersch aka MisterBill Be safe out there - ATGATT More definitive plans to follow. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RobF 120 Posted December 31, 2019 Congratulations on the start of this great adventure, Bill. I have family from Florence, Erlanger, Ludlow, Bromley, and even Villa Hills. Northern KY is an interesting American confluence of the Midwest, the South, and Appalachia. You can travel 40 miles and hear six different regional accents. The region is also the justly proud ancestral home to the world's greatest distilled spirit: bourbon. If you think you might make it to Oregon, send me a PM and I'll make some ride recommendations depending on your aspirations. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cogswell 1139 Posted January 1 If you post your expected routes and dates you'll probably get some folks to join up for a day or two as you come through. Looking forward to seeing your travelogue. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MisterBill 34 Posted January 2 Thanks Rob and Cogswell. I will definitely keep that in mind. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SamW 103 Posted January 2 Sounds like a great ride, I've done two separate 2 week trips out west, best trips of my life. Wish I had the time to go, but I am a few more years from retiring, but will be doing the same sort of trip when I do retire. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
