          As odd as this sounds, I understand. And I would have a HD but not as my only bike.

          I’d rather think someone’s a son of a bitch than to have him think I’m a son of a bitch.

              Hey just FYI the regular rate is cheaper than the discounted rate if anyone hasn't made reservations yet. I checked the other day and it was $113.

              Arriving on the 13th and leaving on the 17th. Two Riding Buds are coming too (Nate and Bart). We're hauling all 3 MCs with my Honda Ridgeline and an Aluminum Trailer. Looking forward to meet all of you.

            If things stay as they are we will be in Gunnison Tuesday the 14th, leaving Friday the 17th.

                Here's what we're thinking for the route. The only reservations we have is Gunnison.
                I'll keep the days short in case it's hot. Most of the route will be two lane.
                Thursday July 9 Broken Bow, Ne.

                Friday Torrington Wy. ??

                Saturday Walden, Co.

                Sunday Vernal Ut. This may change if the Quarry Exhibit Hall does not reopen by then. Saw it in the 80s and would like to see the new building. https://www.nps.gov/dino/index.htm

                Monday - Thursday nights at Gunnison

                Friday Naturita, Co.

                Saturday Del Norte, Co. Maybe at the Mellow Moon. We'll check it out on one of our day rides. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Me...=en&authuser=0

                The old Hotel in town also looks interesting but it's pricey.

                Sunday somewhere in Kansas.

                  I'll be making reservations this Friday. Since we're looking for park at door motels I'll have reservations in advance every 450 miles or so. I go back and forth on reservations vs go for it but it's no fun looking for a motel when you get to an area where many are full. The down side is we can't stop when we see a spot like the Mellow Moon. That one looks nice.

                  I'm looking at motels online and for the trip out I may make reservations the night before or the same morning.

                  I've never had a problem waiting until the afternoon to book a room for that night. We usually start looking online around where we think we might stop and call a few places for prices and availability. That said, we're usually looking for only a couple of rooms.

                For anyone who's wondering, a K1300S fits in the bed of a 2nd Gen Honda Ridgeline.

                  I've transported a lot of k bikes using a strap around the hand grips called a Canyon Dancer without any problem. I always worry about the strength of the tailgate so I use a piece of plywood in the bed. Just me being paranoid probably.

                  Agreed Dan, It was just temporary as we wanted to get a measurement on the Hitch height with the K1300S in the Bed.

                  Are you going to haul a trailer with the tailgate down? Turning should not be a problem but entering a steep incline might be. Also, I use a 2x12 extended over the lowered tailgate to help support the weight. Might not be necessary but it makes me feel better.

                Getting ready.

                5,600 positive cases in that county so I need to keep my distance from anyone

                  Was that sign a gift from the Government?

                  Our office took down the signs and were going to throw them away.
                  I thought they would work under the centerstand on the wood floor but ended up not using them.
              Working...
