Jinbo,
I am riding to Burns, OR for my buddy's memorial ride and then after (9/28) I plan to do some more riding.
How about a hook up in Yreka and then do a ride west to Fortuna, south on 1 to Alice's?
Should be about 3-4 days for you.

Nice pix! Youse look to me like someone fun to ride with!
Doing 2 to 3 rides of 2 to 3 weeks duration had been my habit since the sixties.
Since 2013, I prefer at least 1 ride about 3 to 4 K miles and several others in the 3 day to 2 week range.
Being so close, you NEED to hook up with Jim @RKTNMYPKT in Antioch. He is an awesome ride buddy . . . even better if you bring light bulbs!

The one thing I definitely underestimated on my last trip was the cost of lodging, I think if I was going to be gone longer than two weeks I'd map out all of the KOA campgrounds ahead of time.

@dawb I rode the Touring for 5 yrs before picking up my current Roadster, and you are right it's a helluva bike.
