Every year I break away for a week or so and just ride. I try and get a buddy that can do the trip with me but most of the time people can take a week off for whatever reason (work, wife, etc..) In any case this is something I started 5 years ago and really enjoy. I did a write up on my trip last year which was a blast. I went throught he mountains in PA for that trip.
So for this year here is the basic plan:
Start - Watertown, NY
Day 1 - Lake Placid area
Day 2 - Montreal, CA
Day 3 - Baxter State Park, Maine
Day 4 - Quebec City, CA
Day 5 - Montreal, CA
Day 6 - Home
That is a rough plan but really the idea is not to have a goal or a destination in concrete, just to head in a direction and detour for anything that catches my eye.
$1200 is my budget. This allows for hotels, food, gas, and casinos
Hopefully this years trip is great. If you ever have a week you can do this I highly recommend it. If nothing else, you will be come intimate with your bike and all the comforts, or lack there of. The big lesson learned from last year's ride was the awful seat the FZ6 has. So this year I will be rockin the Corbin.
I plan to update with pictures and commentary as I go. Also if anyone has any good stops that I should check out let me know. (Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine and Quebec area)
