I like the member map Idea. I still don't see many of our bike in my area (CT).
The stories I hear from friends that go to Americade seem to tell me not to go. I really don't want to be with that many bikes unless I'm riding on the US Capital.
I've already set aside vacation time for Franklin in 2014. I don't want to miss that, and it will probably be my longest ride EVER!
NJ, VT or NY won't require excessive planning or vacation time for me and they do have beautiful riding. I still hope to make it to Mt. Washington before this year's riding season is done, but that's ending quickly here.
One suggestion I have is to have a rally when the season is the best and worst in other areas. Like Florida or Arizona when the northeast is cold and snowy (January to April). In the northeast when the south and midwest are brutally hot (July or August). You get the Idea.
I could see me loading the bike onto the trailer in the middle of a Northeast blizzard in February and heading to Florida for a 10 day trip.
