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...." :D
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. :D

I would like to ride the PCH from SoCal to Washington. I now know alot of people out there and would like to meet some of them. I would prefer to do it on my bike but would settle for a HD ultra classic or similar.

There's a new sponsor out in Cali that will host at least one track day at Laguna this year. It's very possible I could go.

...why... even though im sure 20% of the riders in the novice class will beat you to it though
I can't even imagine how fuckin slow I'd go on that track my first time out.

How many people can or will ever say they high-sided in the corkscrew? That's why.

Anywhere all the time.
I love the Long Way Round movie but not sure I've got the whereforall to pull something like that off.
We've talked about shipping the bikes to Europe and spending 3 weeks just riding where ever....
We're also planning to ride up through Canada into Alaska (one of the few states I've never been to!)

That's fucking sick. You have to do it. I can't wait to hear how slow you had to go through the corkscrew the first few times because you were so fucking scared. And for once, I'm not saying that to be a dick. I'd do it to.
About the highside... since it's a downhill drop, you're much more likely to lowside... sorry to burst your bubble. If you try hard it might work though.
