Riding is the ultimate but when I can't ride I love planning that next ride. All I have to do is type "Road Trip" in the heading of an email and I start getting messages back from other addicts. The first big trip this year is a visit to the BMW Rallye in Johnson City, TN. Along the way I intend to ride the Natchez Trace, visit Nashville and maybe take in the Corvette factory. After the rally I plan on wondering around West Virginia looking at where the family supposedly spent their first years in the US. Hacker Valley, WV. Then I will spend some time with the relatives in Illinois. The route home has yet to be determined but I am sure that I will think of somewhere I haven't ridden yet and go there.
Hopefully I will be doing all this on a new K1300GT. Uncle Sam was nice enough to loan me some of my money due to "Harvesting Loses" from 2008. I say loan because if I actually make some money this year he will want it back and more. The K13GT seems like the perfect cement slab burner for me. I love the back roads and twisties also and this bike will probably handle them as well.
