RAA WEST 2020

[1olbull]

I’d be trailering out and needing a drop place for the rig. The style of a central home base does work best for me so can acces different gear stored the base. If I was riding the Indian then the strung out tour would be more feasible. Just telling you about me and how I roll my Rocket.

Steve while I might not be King I can make the call to do a trip if I set my mind and make the proper plans. Gauntlet down.

Very Kewl. I do admit that although I punch no clock, on occasion my business seems to run me.
Just last year a last minute trial forced me to cancel the RAA East ride to Stearns.

Dave @breeze has offered rig parking at his place in Bloomfield, New Mexico.
Weather will be great, not too much gear will likely be needed, but I have learned the hard way and carry warm gear ALWAYS - Tis why I carry panniers and a rear bag on long trips.

I reckon since September, week 2 is chosen, CO will be sketchy weather wise.
UT or CA would be best. Compared to youse in the east, UT would provide the most different and unique scenery, & in spades.

What's the Coronado and Million Dollar Highway like in the first weeks of Sept? I may head across Texas and come up through Arizona and back into NM to your place then up the Million Dollar before RAA

If you're considering Cali then the ride around Lake Tahoe and the coast area around Camel is unbelievable. Come for the views and not the people, they're a******s.

I think that is what Dave is saying about diversity. Some how the groups of like minded come together so that you get the experience you want.

NM would be closer and easier for us. Mad Dog has proposed using my truck and 20 foot trailer as a chase rig in which all extra gear can follow and in case of a mechanical issue the trailer would be there every day to use as necessary. Possibly something to think about.

I hope we can do this before all that cold moves in. Last year we had very cold rain and snow in Wyoming during the second week of September.

Edit. I just looked at Bloomfield NM and I recall I’ve been through there a few times. Looks like a perfect place to set the rig and take off. Usually we start from Albuquerque on the four corners ride but Bloomfield looks even better.

Utah is the draw for me, I came back last time and promised the wife I'd take her to see it before we croak.
