  Congratulations!  Keep it shiny side up, the wind in your face and the sun on your back. ENJOY!    I have an old Venture Royale. Great bike, nice ride. I pull a trailer for camping. Maybe this summer I'll get to ride more. Kinda wet last year, and spent sunny days on the lawn mower.  Be Safe!

Not sure what route you're planning on taking but going to the 2013 Gathering in Colorado Springs near Limon, CO on I-70 we took US 24 into the Springs and it was a good road.   Looking at the current radar you'll hit some snow but probably miss most of the major stuff.
 
Safe travels...!!!


Hi Jim,
That's the route I took!  Snow is all melted of the roads....what was all the commotion about... a blizzard?  In MN it's just a regular event!

Thanks everyone.  Arrived, unpacked, place is great!  Weather is 65 degrees..... I could come here every winter!  Tomorrow I need to detail the Wing for the New Years Day ride.  Life is good!  Smile

Congrats on retirement John. Only two months in AZ. We've got plans I won't mention yet but maybe we will see you round Phoenix 😀

Thanks all,  I'll never spend another winter up north if I have a say in it.  I'd be a hermit in the house in MN going crazy.  Instead I've put almost a thousand miles on the motorcycle in 3 weeks.  I've barely reached that number for a whole summer in the last couple of years.
There are two Vette clubs out here that like to eat.  One meets for lunch on Tuesdays and the other for breakfast on Fridays.
The car scene is unreal with plenty to do..... The last three Saturdays I've been out of the house at 6:30 am to visit Cars & Coffee events.  Barrett Jackson and 5 other auctions start next week.
Joe (shad) will you be going to the Vette show in Chandler on Valentines day (Feb 14th)????  I'll post later about a C3 Registry meet & greet.   There are 6 members on the map + myself and Dave (dads2vette) is driving out as we type..... I might enter him in the unrestored class and see if we can take a trophy away from the locals!  Wink
