You lucky bugger!
Have a pleasant and safe trip man.
I said at the NorEast, there's just something about seeing a bike loaded with a guy's gear ready for a trip ....

Thanks to all of you for the wishes of a great trip. As far as knowing the exact trip, it is not written in stone, just a general way of going. That changed a little this morning with a phone call from a friend near Salt Lake.... seems it is really cold there so I will head more to the south out of NV, I will go through Kingman, Flagstaff, Gallup (this will be about all the Interstate I will ride) Durango, Aztec, Clovis on the way to Burnet (Burn-it) TX. The trip back I am going to take some smaller highways between I20 and I10 with only one planned stop near Dell City TX.

Let the weather and the wind dictate the route. Much better that way! Have a great trip Jack.

Jack -
I PM'd you my cell number if you make it thru Flagstaff. I may not be able to ride, depending on when you are here (I won't be able to get off work next week due to trial), but can probably offer a beer at the end of a day.
Have a fun trip! Its really warm here today!

Becky,
Thanks for the offer, but I was already gone on the road. I got in Flagstaff kinda later than expected anyway, and just got fuel and moved on to Winslow to spend the night.
I made the trip and back home. A lot of wind most of the way there, especially through NM. I did manage to miss the main storms in all directions, only hit a sprinkle for about 15 minutes coming home leaving Pecos, TX. As soon as I passed the Great Divide on I-20 there was near clear skies and the wind was all but gone. I had a great trip and visit with family and rode 9 days of the 3 weeks traveling to the different destinations. I did have to change my trip home, had to thread the needle through the storms and wind events. I had to take the Interstate most of the way home. The only real nervousness I had was just past Pecos I hit reserve at 122 miles (pretty good head wind) with no near town ahead. I turned around (illegal turn in the median through the grass on I-20) and made it back to Pecos. I filled up at the first station and it took just under 4.4 gals. I must have been running on fumes and the head wind I was bucking was pushing me back was the only reason I made it (whew!!!).
