Memorable rides:

            Pacific Coast Highway around San Francisco back in the mid 70’s.

 

            July 2007 – Trooper & I road from Phoenix, AZ to STAR DAYS in Chattanooga TN. We were hailed & rained on in New Mexico,  Texas, Arkansas,  Oklahoma and  Tennessee. But the lightning storms were the scariest – what with the Venture’s  big antennae.. Every state we rode thru. But the 4500 mile trip was FANTASTIC!!!       Tail-of-the-Dragon is a *MUST* for anyone going to that part of the country – 318 turns in 11 miles --- WOW is all I can say…

When we got ready to call it a day we soon learned to look for motels with a WORKING hot tub.

 We  plan to ride to STAR DAYS in Bentonville, Ak July 2008.
