actually, southern ohio (or indiana for that matter) is very nice, it's just the getting there that's pancake flat, illinois and indiana between the mississippi and the ohio rivers are about the most boring stretch of landscape they is. if i had to do the northern route, i'd take the car ferry across lake michigan to ludington and come down through the lower peninsula, some nice rolling hills and hardwood forests before hitting northern ohio, which is basically all concrete. the southern route i'd shoot straight down to the illinois/indiana border on the ohio river and head east from there, longer than going through indianapolis, but much nicer scenery

We already did this with Honda Valkyries a few years ago, it was called "Thor's Hammer". All four corners of the USA were visited plus various routes throughout the States and Canada. A banner was carried and signed by all riders and the hammer was passed at the same time, lots of fun. The next year the Hammer was passed throughout Europe. The route was timed so that the Hammer entered Canada in May. Our group met the Albertans at the Alberta/Saskatchewan border and we carried it to the guys in North Dakota. We were blessed with good weather.
There is no such thing as a bad motorcycle.

I did not say "not to do it", I was just relating our experience.Big B wrote:sounds coolpaul246 wrote:We already did this with Honda Valkyries a few years ago, it was called "Thor's Hammer".
