    Road Trip to the Coronado Trail

    I am thinking, I remember 10 years ago when I first heard of Deals GaP, at the time, I thought Rt 17 in Vt was the ultimate

    for many years I have treked down to Deals, but it has become boring, my upcoming ride to Joplin Mo, on the way back, I'm going to check out the Ozarks

    now I have my next road trip in mind, its about 2500 miles there, + make 2 round trips on the Coronado Trail (1800 curves, 425 are hairpins, in 90 miles), then back about 5500 miles total in 5 days

    I have a buddy that lives in AZ about 120 miles from there......WOW was all he could say after his first ride there. Keeps telling me I have to come visit! He rides BMW's and is thinking an SV would be nice to add o the fleet.. I told him if he bought it I would come ride it for him.

    Have a great trip! I so wish I was doing that.

    Awesome. I know you're not one for pics Randy but you HAVE to make up a good ride report after/during that trip

    I'm working on the pic aspect of touring, I just picked up a ram camera mount, I have it mounted to a ram clutch/brake reservoir ball on the clutch side, just using my cheapo 4.1mp kodak


    I did this video as a test a couple days ago

    When were you planning on making this run?
    5500 miles in 5 days is quite the haul! Thats like riding across america for a soda then hauling ass back.

    --Motorcycles are a balance between trust and physics. you just have to trust that your tires will work, and hope the 10 little asian guys that designed the bike got an A+ in physics
