Coming to the USA May from Australia

[mattyg]

Hi all, I'm coming to the USA in early May.
I'll be riding a R1150GS a very kind member is loaning me and I'll repay the favor in Australia with a bike and a Condo next year.
I'll have 3 months in your beautiful county, basically doing a loop the first 6 weeks from Idaho then riding with friends the next 6 or 7 weeks.
Be great to catch up with others for beers and riding.
Cheers
Matt

We live in Western North Carolina, home of some of the best riding in the country. You are invited to visit and stay if you'd like. Our driveway is a great GS ride!!!

Also, you're aware of our 50th anniversary rally in Sprinfield, Missouri, right?

Not exactly, I'll be heading east from Idaho, would like to spend most of the first 6 weeks on the east coast, then head back to Portland to ride with friends down south.

That sounds awesome. I'll bring beers!
Pretty good chance I'll make the Rally, as it'll be the time I'm heading back to Portland for the ride with friends..

Central Maine here, if you make it this far up the east coast, drop me a PM, always make time for beers.

 

[skibum69]

I'm 3 days further east than Maine, you're probably not headed my way.

For sure, I was going to head into Maine, apparently really nice there.

Route from Idaho to Minnesota

Not exactly, I'll be heading east from Idaho, would like to spend most of the first 6 weeks on the east coast, then head back to Portland to ride with friends down south.

If time allows and you really want to see some of the more open areas of the north central US Hwy 200 from Sandpoint, ID all the way to Floodwood, MN is a very good ride. When you reach Floodwood it is a short ride to Rider Warehouse the home of Aerostich riding gear and their store. Drop me a message if you get in to MN and if I’m in town I’ll catch up with you along your route.

 

[skibum69]

That's ok, you'll just need to make another trip.

Sounds like a plan

Shoot me a PM if you get to the Black Hills in South Dakota, I'll be around in July and August and would be happy to show you my favorite roads.
I've got a mate from Taree NSW who won't be coming this summer, we've ridden 100,000 miles together in the USA and OZ.

Cheers!
