I say we ride from CO to Vegas to San Diego up the California/Oregon Coast.

Fucking AMAZING roads there... the only problem is it can be VERY WET when you get to the Oregon Coast...

It will be awhile before I have the vacation leave to be able to do that, probably 2010 or 11.

only if your not from that area... for me... it's HOME... I miss it... the rain never bugged me... even in AK when it poured on me while riding... didn't bug me at all... just gotta be smooth...

though I do need to get some rain gear... drying out my pants and jacket sucked major ass... funny my gloves didn't get that wet... my back and my thighs got SOAKED though...

Perfect... That's EXACTLY what I had envisioned.

Plan one for the fall you say?

Plan one to coincide with Indy perhaps?

But again, not everyone would be up for letting people they don't know stay at their house. I would, but I'm a trusting guy.

That's actually kinda what I was thinkin'... My couches, spare bedroom, air matress, and recliner have TWFix members names written all over them. If a hot chick... or really any chick for that matter... wants to snuggle up in my bed too that's coolio.

How about get her a bike and bring her along!

You should look for an 01 or so... I love the looks of the first gen SV a lot better, and you could probably pick one up cheap, a lot cheaper than a 2nd gen. And they are on par with eachother as far as performance goes, both will need some fork work and maybe a rear shock and they will be completely capable of whooping ass in the twisties or at the track.
