    I'm a Florida school teacher so I could only attend if this took place in June, July, or early August. If so barring some kind of emergency I would be there! Rode a full wing from here to Vegas and spent a few days in Colorado and loved it! I too like the idea of a less organized get together, just meet a few people and ride some great roads.

    *When you admit your a teacher and make typing mistakes you have to do an edit. Lol!

    I'm all for a west ride. June? Last time I rode The Bighorns, Bear tooth pass, the Bitterroot ranges, was week 2 and 3 in June. Yup, snow and sleet on every pass I crossed. I think that is common for June. Still had the snowplows going. I pick July or August, hoping for better road surfaces. Not so fun riding in snow, with 1000 yard + drop-offs next to you, and no guard rails.

    I would be up for Wyoming, Montana and South Dakota area. Maybe a couple of nights in Cody, Wyoming and a couple of nights in Rapid City, South Dakota area. That would enable us to ride in two great areas that are close together.

    As I said in an earlier reply I am up for anything in the west. There are a lot of good riding areas in the Rockies and coastal mountain areas and I am sure there are some owners in those areas that would be able show us great rides that are not well known. I also agree August is probably the best time in the northern Rockies or even the Pacific northwest.

    Lets get together and put something together.
