Yosemite and Mt Rainer and definitely Mt, Saint Helens will still be closed. Although canyons near Virginia city ( Near Reno) will be a blast combined with circumnavigation of Lake Tahoe.

Wherever you go. First do a walk-around over the lot, check for sands, oil, ice etc. Then have a fun practicing.

I think for work can expense the carhatts as work clothes :)

Congratulations on the new bike? that feeling of excitement before a big trip is always the best.

Chaps You can get textile chaps that can go over your pants or http://www.canyonchasers.net/reviews/clothing/carhartt.php. You can modify the carhartt to accept knee pads. I've seen it done, the hole on the bottom of the dual layer was widened and velcro was added, slip in knee pads. Kneepads...

I did not stopped riding since last year, but I will suggest the same as the OP, if you can't enjoy riding without pulling a wheelie, tailgating while doing 100kph and above, putting their knee down in the corner, speeding etc. Its still cold, sand is on the corners, your race spec tires don't...

Im not used to reading your post without pictures. :)

You want to commute, not go on a fashion show. :) For no luggage option better get a Scooter, lots of under seat storage. The windshield and topcase looks bad imo. For mounting bags SW- motec makes better mounts that you can remove if you're not using the bags, unlike the bulky mounts for Givi.

I've heard it happened in this forum.

Best commuter mod is a lockable hardcase. Briefcase in the bag when riding, helmet, and jacket the bag while in the office. Big hassle to walk around carrying your helmet or worse someone peeing in it if you leave it locked to your bike. Add heated grips, its always there when you need it...

Barely enough gas? For 200 kms? You can go farther with a 125 vs a 600ss There is also the adjustable windshield attachment that you can fold, unfold to change angle and height.

I like that idea :). I am mostly solo but sometimes long for company on the boring but sometimes necessary super-slab stretches. And company help me control myself from staying too long out or wandering too far. I like riding for comfort, thats why i choose standard bikes for long distance...

Haven't been to those roads but plan to ride Natchez Trace Parkway this year. I guess my tips are - stay off the Interstate and ride it like you stole it :). Detour east for Barber Vintage Motorsport Museum. It's worth the ride if you haven't been there.

Omg!! You forgot to add what kind of bike. Is it a ninja with ape hangers a orange kawasaki. Next time more details like time and place. Did you wave to the bike ? Hollllaaa

:( Roads that I missed. My excuse was snow/rain forecast in the high area, my new to me bike was already struggling with altitude (carb), and I need to catch a flight. Reason to go back. :)

http://www.gtamotorcycle.com/vbforum/showthread.php?141908 This was our trip in June done by 2 Bandit on 2 Bandits. Check the video after Beartooth pass. Temp can really vary from heatwave in chicago to hailstorm in montana. I was only miserable once, wet and cold crossing the rockies to BC. I...

Depends, if your a chic I'll ride over there to meet you now :)

This guy went to work and will be rewarded with a great ride after an overnight shift.

Same , when i organize a ride, I lead from the back and let those more sporty in front. 1 km range is enough for them to ride aggressive until communication cuts out and then they wait for me to catch up. Everybody enjoys at their own pace and i bring the group to new places.

So when is the ride?
