    Obviously I like Maine but summer here is wall-to-wall tourists, It's all very doable. Ride west towards the mountains you get long stretches of open roads and small villages. Ride east you get the beautiful coast but all the traffic. Your choice.

    How about the Rockies in Colorado?

    I'd love to do that.....need a city to base out of near the great riding, plus some lodging options.
    Any recommendations????

    Rockies

    I think the Rockies would be great. I have never been on motorcycle so I have no suggestions for a home base.

    For what it's worth, the two times we've taken a bike trip to Colorado, we based it out of the Longmont area. Seems to work really well.

    Makers is my favorite. That place is just magical, but Woodford is top-notch, too.

    I've been up there a bunch on the FJR, great riding. Back when I had a VTX, they used to run the annual Coloradical out of Lakewood. The LaQuinta there is 925 miles from my house; a nice one day drive.

    2018 Rally Location

    i prefer to keep it away from the big cities. i really dont like travelling in heavy populated areas. just me - it safer too and usually a little cheaper for stuff. I am all for the Rockies or yellowstone or Utah . .. just my 2 cents worth . . . I went to Wing Ding last year in Billings. . . . great place - the city is not big at all and lots of nice roads there.

    A great spot in the south of Colorado to base out of is Durango -- less than three hours to Moab, Utah from there too. Lots of great rides in the area. So much to see in the north, central and south areas of the state it's kinda impossible to pinpoint one central location to hit it all. Definitely would defer to forum members who know Colorado the best to make recommendations but had an amazing time there last summer. Can definitely attest that the main tourist spots (ski resort towns) are off-the-chart expensive and crowded in the summer (goes without saying) so places like Durango (or Longmont / Lakewood as also suggested) are solid options.
