Dream Rides

whats a ride you wish you could do (ride the ring, or maybe a ride to the western united states to hit the california coast line) and would you take your current bike or would it involve a dead sexy exotic ride?

personally, my dream ride would be to go from TN to Bisbee, AZ and back with PC for a week, take your time, no rush, and just enjoy the road and company

would love to hit the dragon, but with young kids, and fairly new job, kinda hard to get away for a decent road trip.

My dream rid would be to ride from here to the southern tip of South America and back. No I wouldn't take my current ride, I'd take a BMW GS1150 or a KTM 990 Adventure. Maybe even a 990 Super Duke.

Hmmmmm... the ring, yes, yes, yes....

But I would also looooove to just go back to SoCal, ride the coast, the mountains, and really just tool around the areas where I grew up. Growing up there, I never had an appreciation for just how fun the roads are there; now when I go back, I'm like "WHOAH, this would be so much fun on the bike...."

I'd say not necessarily on some exotic, but not necessarily on my current bike either. I'd want it to be a bike I was already well acquainted with, though - I mean, let's face it, I live in FL, so twisties and good roads aren't something I've got much experience with. So for an extended tour of the West Coast, I'd want a bike I was already comfortable with.

....and of course, after watching an episode of "Trippin' on Two Wheels," touring Ireland on a Sprint ST looks amazing.

No dream ride. Just want to get to as many tracks as possible.
