utilitarian too.  Sure you can ride with three people on board; or you can carry a bunch of stuff in it.
Make yourself very popular by bringing that keg of beer to the camp site. 

As stated in previous postings here, the R1200 GS was an adventure rig - it would go anywhere.  By contrast the Indian rig is simply a "gentlemans" rig for this only sees paved roads or hard packed dirt. and the adventures are fine hotels and dining.

At any rate. should you ever think of a sidecar rig; ran across this excellent video today.  Helge Pedersen is a world class world rider!  You can find more about him on the web and Youtube.  So sit back and enjoy this presentation:

Hoping you all have had a Blessed Christmas and will have a wonderful New Year!

Now we are soundly into the New Year Looking forward to the adventures that await.  Discovery of new destinations, food, and hotels and camping.  Will also return to a few of the favorite.  The decision will be to take the motorcycle or the 4Runner.

Currently there are no trips planned until later in the year.  Locally the weather has been fine; however the lack of snow and the trees being bare present a flat and boring photo opportunity.  So we shall wait.  Thinking of going to DAYTONA BIKE WEEK, in March; but we may be experiencing snow then.  Have made my resovations for AMERICADE in June. 

Will be attending the WOODEN BOAT SHOW in July at Mystic, CT.  Should you wish to attend this event it is held at MYSTIC SEAPORT and that is a wonderful place to visit.

This year  hope to get back the the VIRGINA MILITARY AIR SHOW in May.  Last year it was rained out.  Keep your fingers crossed.  May is the World War II aircraft and in October step back in time to'
World War I.   If you search the blog you can see the videos and information on these air shows.

No idea, other then above, what adventures my be in store this year.  perhaps back West.  I am always drawn to Monument Valley and SW Colorado.  Perhaps back to Jackson and beyond.  Photo below is my BMWMOA "PEAKS ACROSS AMERICA " back in, I believe 2006.  From Boise, ID to Vermont.  Photo below was a stop in Jackson Hole, WY.  This ride was about 6.300 miles in two weeks.  Great trip!

So this year join me for  great destinations, fine dinning, and great hotels.

MADONNA INN, San Luis Obispio, CA was one of the more unique fine hotels. Each room is a different decor:
