Summer ride plan

[Sierra03]

In Wyoming one of my favorites is Chief Joseph Hwy from north of Cody to Beartooth pass. If you do plan on later in summer to make sure it’s open. Beartooth maybe snowed in early summer

I am thinking early July is when I'll be riding. I'll just have to see what's open out there.

Yes, great roads. GREAT! In hoping to ride them again this summer!

Those are really great plans. Mine is here in the east. I’m meeting a friend from MA in Front Royal VA ( I’m riding up from FL) and we are doing Skyline then Blue Ridge Parkway then riding around the hills to include the Dragon. Haven’t figured out how much time we will take ( being retired has its benefits!). We plan on camping along the way. Hopefully all this virus will be behind us.

If many of our states get off their azzes and get this fricken vaccine rolled out in a timely manner, everything should be opened by the summer.

Tough to say. Many controllers have enjoyed the extra excitement of added control. If not COVID, they may find more stuff to use. Totalitarians gonna totalitariate! lol

Should be ending anyway. 60-75% of the people I know, including myself, nearly our whole family, our neighbors and coworkers have already had it. The local news said our rate in this part of Indiana has dropped 31% recently. That has to mean herd immunity is here finally. Even my 72 yearold mother-in-law survived it with little more than sniffles. I do know 3 who have died from it but all were in nursing homes. It was pretty rough for my wife, she was on her back for 8 days!

I know that sounds like a good thing but it wasn't. The Bat Flu made her pretty sick. We're all back to work now though and I even rode to work today!

I never really stopped working. I had a few at home days. In fact, I am working from home now because a dared to travel outside the 50 mile perimeter. Largely, it is a bad flu. It DOES kill, but people of my ilk, it is unlikely. The news has fetishized every scary story they could. A pox upon them.

Man, I couldn't agree more. I got a paper to carry on the bike and cage (last Feb or March) saying I was an essential worker. And I enjoyed the deserted, speed limit free highways but hated the rest of it. When our governor passed his mask mandate I left on a 3600 mask free ride to SD and points West. By the time I came back it was pretty much universally ignored in the rural counties. As a 64 year-old diabetic I'm in the "targeted for fear" group but the only thing that actually scares me about it is the loss of freedom so many seem to accept. Better to live an hour as a free citizen than a thousand lifetimes as a thrall. As you said "A Pox Upon Them".

I rode out west for most of July last year. I still have the mask I picked up from my buddy in NM. It is torn and beat up, but I have a mask! lol Next, I'll switch to Victoria's Secret panties and put them on my face. LOL

A buddy of mine said he wants to sue the Navy. He was an operator and said, "You went through CBDR training right? We had to suck rubber, wear full MOPP gear, hump a ruck wearing all that crap. The Navy was so insensitive and cared not for my welfare. When all I needed was a diaper on my face to stay safe!"

Many of the motorcyclists are not with the loss of freedom from what I can see.
