NinjaNick Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 R6Warpspeed, you've been hitting the bottle or what?I'd love to go, but I don't have such a huge amount of funds laying around. Maybe next year. Gawd, I hope so! I'd love such a trip as this because I love the WEST! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casper Posted July 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 I'm for sure going. Any of your other friends going? I think Shitty is going as well. We were just talking about it Friday night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 I'm for sure going. Any of your other friends going? I think Shitty is going as well. We were just talking about it Friday night.We just got back from Utah on Sunday, so all of my bud's have already gone out there for the year - so its' looking like three of us then. Should I book one room or two? We can do three to a room without too much trouble as long as someone doesn't mind sleeping on the floor when sofa's or roll away beds aren't available. Can rotate who sleeps on the floor so no one would sleep there more than once or twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 The route is set...Heading out via I-70 to Denver and then into Utah. Next we'll swing south for a couple of drunken days in Santa Fe, New Mexico before heading east via Tulsa, Oklahome and back to Columbus.Hope it's not too hot out that week!

Still debating on this trip or New Orleans and then up the coast.Duh, I can't read the freaking thread title. Edited July 29, 2009 by Artmageddon I'm dumb.

AOW Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 well, I won't do the ride but I will make the effort to meet up w/you gents in NM or UT. I have a severe dislike of UT, but I may get over it. I would prefer riding through the desert climate over UT though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple of pics froma previous trip....Kansas and eastern Colorado do suck dog balls, but both are crawling with cops - so we shouldn't be too bored unless we want tickets.
