I posted my plans on here a couple months ago and was warned that the weather is unpredictable so I altered my plans a bit.

My plan is to put Bonnie in the back of my pickup and drive down to Dallas in 2 days. I will then take the bike off and ride her to Phoenix in 4 days if the weather is good. If the weather is not good will keep driving the truck to AZ. There I will meet up w my buddy who is flying down from the NWT. He is going to rent a Sportster and we will cruise around for 10 days. After he goes back I will ride/drive back home. Total time 3 weeks.

I know what you're thinking.....If the weather is good from Dallas to Phoenix, maybe it won't be on the way back. If it is crappy out I will rent a pickup 1 way and float her over the mountains back to Dallas.

Does this sound like a good plan?? :???:

You don't make things easy for yourself do you !!!!

Why not follow your friends idea and hire a bike when you get to your meeting point.

Whatever you decide upon, have a great ride. I'm only jealous, still winter over here and ***** cold for riding.

Uhhhh...NO!

Because I didn't see the plan a couple of months ago....now it's too damned late to join in!
Some guys have all the fun!

Seriously, thinking about doing the same thing in Texas, probably next year, either in May or October......

Have fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God Bless you! It must be a little warmer in Dallas right now. If I could do it, I'd take the bike to Brazil!

The weather here in Southern California has perfect for riding lately. Send a PM if you are going to be near LA.
