RE: 2017 CB1100 Rally - Location and Date Discussion
By this time next year I'll be happily retired and ready to ride. Since I'm looking at at least 2,000 miles to get to any of the eastern mountains, I'm not too picky about where we end up. I've never ridden east of the Mississippi, so I'll leave that to the experts.
If you all feel like coming out west, the better for me!

RE: 2017 CB1100 Rally - Location and Date Discussion
I noticed in the California Superbike School catalog that they offer group bike tours (including track days) in Austrailia. I'm out of town at the moment, but I'll look for it when we get back and I'll try to post some info on what route they use. Cormanus (as our host...???) could use it as a starting point or thought. Evelyn's given me the thumbs up if I really want to do this and even says if I can rent a CanAm, she might actually ride along. Since Austrailia isn't exactly around the corner, I probably need to bring her wth me if I come down...

Be good to have the information, ride4now. Pterodactyl and I had a bit of a chat about possible routes the other week, but all ideas welcome at this stage.

West By God Virginia is a beautiful place. Fantastic State Parks - more like resorts with cabins, hotels, restaurants, and bars. Have had several get togethers in the parks with good results.
Lots of ski resorts with ample and inexpensive lodging hungry for visitors during the spring, summer, and fall.
Good riding.

My vote (and I should not have one as I am not a CB11 owner)
would be around Brea KY or WV.

Cormanus could, but he won't be due to time constraints. I do know, though, that another member has been toying with how to do this.
