Took the Motorcycle Safety Course last fall and got my "M" Driver's License.
Wife of 28 years died in March of this year after a 2.5 year illness (cancer).
Bought the (new) 2009 black 1300C a couple of weeks later, based largely on what I had read/seen on this forum and others. I have about 5,000 miles on it so far. Memphis shade, cobra engine guards & highway pegs. Honda sissy bar to hold a piece of luggage a buddy gave me when he upgraded from a Vstar to a Goldwing. I've ridden several hundred miles several weekends. I find riding to be tremendously relaxing
Next weekend, though, will be a new challenge, though I'm not interested in killing myself; if I get beat down, I'll lengthen the # of days...but here's the plan.
Leave Lincoln (Nebraska) about 5 a.m. Saturday. West on I80 to Laramie Wyoming. South on various state highways til you get in the Vail/Gypsum area, then East on I70. Highway 77 back to Lincoln. I think it is going to be about 1,300 miles or so. I plan on being home Sunday night.
I've been to Colorado bunches of times. It's a beautiful state, but I'm going out there to ride, not look at the mountains.
Other than the fact that some of you will tell me I should have bought a better seat, is this a ridiculous plan?
