[emrat:15460] RetroTours

At this morning's meeting, I mentioned Retro Tours (retrotours.com), and how I will be participating in one of their rides next month.

"They" are Joel Samick. He is an older guy who has collected a bunch of older bikes which he rides. I suppose at some point he decided that his bikes could be put to use. So ... he organizes rides in the Eastern United States, and provides cool old bikes on which to ride.

I chose the Redneck Gyro. I also asked to ride his 1976 Honda GL1000. I've always had a fondness for the Mk1 Gold Wings but never enough of a fondness to actually buy one. There will be others on the ride, and we will periodically swap bikes. I think Joel mentioned another guy wants to ride the 1975 Suzuki T500.

Due to some regulation/statute, Joel cannot charge for the ride but he suggests a contribution of $150/day. As far as I can tell, the only downside is the need to drive to Pennsylvania. I don't fly.

I'll report back when I see you in Meeker.

Bob

Re: [emrat:15457] Anyone up for a mid-summer week long ride?

I'm up for it too to end for me at Rat In Meeker.

I agree with Steve, this is pretty aggressive, but doable for me.  When you get up in this part of the country, towns with hotels at all are spaced out enough to force you to choose between very long or ridiculously short days.  And Salmon River Valley is completely worth it.  US 12 west from Lolo is even better, but it goes in the wrong direction for what you are planning.

Hi Martin, 

Just my perspective, but if that’s not Iron Butt pace it’s not far off. It’s at least a 3 Flags pace! 

I’ve been fortunate enough to have traveled to all those places and they are definitely worth the trip. Have fun!

Martin, just a few thoughts on your route ideas.
 
After Sturgis in 2008, I rode upto Glacier NP and rode east to west over Logan Pass on the famous "Going to the Sun Road."  The descent, however, was much more like the "Going to the Hell Road."  The road was jammed with tourist traffic and road construction immobilized passage.  It was stop-and-go in the sun and the heat and I was miserable.
 
Out of this came my maxim: never ride in a national park between Memorial Day and Labor Day.  But, if you entered the Park early and there was no heavy traffic, perhaps you would be OK.  It is a spectacular NP.
 
The Salmon River valley and Beartooth Pass are, of course, must-rides for motorcyclists.
 
The Sun Valley to Stanley road is a great motorcycle ride, but I have never been on the Stanley-Challis segment on ID 75.   By  the way, Ernest Hemingways's grave is in Sun Valley.  If you visit it, leave a minature liquor bottle on the grave.

Since I'm just starting the planning I'm very flexible.  About the only things I'd be somewhat firm on are the duration (5 days/4 nights) and the time of the week (mid week for better availability of motels.)  So in essence I'm looking at:  Depart Monday morning and return Friday afternoon.

Salmon, ID > Great Falls MT via Kalispell with possible diversion to Glacier NP depending on what rules are (reservations, etc) (3rd night)
Great Falls, MT - Thermopolis, WY via Red Lodge, Beartooth Pass, Dead Indian Pass and Cody (4th night)
Thermopolis WY > Home.  
 
And just to be clear, this is just a tentative plan, I'm not fixed on it, but it incorporates a lot of places I've wanted to ride for years (Salmon River in Idaho, around Glacier NP, Beartooth and Dead Indian Passes.)  Any suggestions or recommendations would also be welcome.  
 
My plan would be to ride for a full day every day, but I would absolutely NOT be trying to keep an "Iron Butt" pace.  I plan to take time to enjoy the sights and take some photos.

Re: [emrat:15455] Anyone up for a mid-summer week long ride?

Thanks for all the input, guys!  I'll try to answer each of you as best I can:  

Jim:  With regard to June, I think that's too early for as far North as I want to go.  I know it's been a shit year for snow in Colorado but I don't want to make a bet on there not being a late season snowstorm.  We have a camping trip from July 1 - 6 and I need to be in Pueblo on July 19th (which is why I can't make it to the RAT rally this year.)  I would kind of like to spend Colorado day (August 1st) with the family, so within those limitations, I have a few weeks in July and a few in August that would work best for me.  

Dan:  I've been to Glacier and over Going-to-the-Sun a couple of times, although not on a motorcycle.  I know during Covid they instituted timed tickets and other stuff that could complicate matters.  In all honesty, unless Going-to-the-Sun would fit fairly easily into the schedule I'd be fine bypassing Glacier to the South and taking US 2 for the simple reason that I've never been on that road before and it's always nice to try a new road.   Your concern about National Parks during peak season is one I share and is the reason I would have no interest in passing through Yellowstone.  

Steve:  With regards to the pace, I know it's ambitious but it looks reasonably comfortable to me.  With all my other hobbies I don't get as much "pure" riding time as some of you guys so when I have a chance to ride, I want to RIDE.  I'm not interested in sightseeing, exploring the little towns, or stopping to smell the roses - Eliza and I do that when we go on our camping trips.  A quick stop for a snapshot and I want to get back on the road.  So I'm happy to spend all day in the saddle and I'm fortunate that the BMW's saddle is an amazingly comfortable one.  

Thanks again for all the input.  NOTHING is set in concrete at this time, I'm trying to maintain maximum flexibility for now.  My hope is that by early June I'll have everything locked in and reservations made.  

Take care! 

Martin

Salmon, ID > Great Falls MT via Kalispell with possible diversion to Glacier NP depending on what rules are (reservations, etc) (3rd night)

Thermopolis WY > Home.

My plan would be to ride for a full day every day, but I would absolutely NOT be trying to keep an "Iron Butt" pace.  I plan to take time to enjoy the sights and take some photos. 
 
(It probably goes without saying but I'll say it anyway:  I will be on my BMW, NOT the Sportster!)  
 
I've slept on the ground enough in my life so I would be finding a reasonably priced motel rather than moto-camping.  Am absolutely open to sharing a room to save costs.

Re: [emrat:15453] Anyone up for a mid-summer week long ride?

Hi Martin, 

Just my perspective, but if that’s not Iron Butt pace it’s not far off. It’s at least a 3 Flags pace! 

I’ve been fortunate enough to have traveled to all those places and they are definitely worth the trip. Have fun!

Steve

Martin, just a few thoughts on your route ideas.
 
After Sturgis in 2008, I rode upto Glacier NP and rode east to west over Logan Pass on the famous "Going to the Sun Road."  The descent, however, was much more like the "Going to the Hell Road."  The road was jammed with tourist traffic and road construction immobilized passage.  It was stop-and-go in the sun and the heat and I was miserable.
 
Out of this came my maxim: never ride in a national park between Memorial Day and Labor Day.  But, if you entered the Park early and there was no heavy traffic, perhaps you would be OK.  It is a spectacular NP.
 
The Salmon River valley and Beartooth Pass are, of course, must-rides for motorcyclists.
 
The Sun Valley to Stanley road is a great motorcycle ride, but I have never been on the Stanley-Challis segment on ID 75.   By  the way, Ernest Hemingways's grave is in Sun Valley.  If you visit it, leave a minature liquor bottle on the grave.
