Later today I'm taking off on my big ride for the summer. (It's my 7th ride on a 93 K1100LT that I call the LTR so I refer to this trip as LTR7.)
I don't have any firm route or schedule but in general it will be something like this:
I'm guessing something like 5,000-6,000ish miles and something like ten(?) days. I'll be camping and visiting other K bike owners along the way, staying at motels if I can't find camping or need a shower.
My general plan is:
* Oregon coast
* California coast with a stop in San Francisco to see an 85 K1000RS that somebody is bringing back from the dead
* I'd hoped to hook up with Larry Romestant while in the LA area but he's going to be out of town so I'll have to visit him next trip
* Angeles Crest
* Route 66 in Arizona
* Visit a K75 owner outside of Taos, New Mexico and ride up Pike's Peak with him
* Visit a K1100LT owner in Salida, Colorado
* Maybe a side trip to the "Million Dollar Highway"
* Chief Joseph Byway in Wyoming
* Beartooth Pass
* Glacier National Park
* Hit some ghost towns in northern Washington on the way home from Glacier
But that's just a general plan. Weather, whims or other considerations may lead me in different directions.
As I have the time, inclination and Internet access, I'll post some pictures in this thread along the way...
