Retired Thursday, packed that night and left on Christmas day to Wisc for a family visit and then to AZ....dragging a motorcycle.  Left Fond Du Lac, Wi this afternoon for Cedar Rapids.  On Sunday we are hoping to make it to Hays KS...missing the blizzard to the south.  We had planned on going thru Wichita (have fun Larry shoveling snow!), Oklahoma City then Amarillo TX......which of course is gonna get buried in a blizzard!

Congrats on your retirement. I hope you enjoy it and get to do all the things you ever wanted to do! Be safe on your journey and look forward to seeing what adventures you find.

Congrats on the Retirement, and the GOLDWING! Nice. I have mine scattered doing much needed rehab/leak patrol during the winter time. 
Yup..trying to put a cover, or anything like that on a bike OR car during transport on an open trailer is futile. You'll wind up doing more damage than just leaving it un-covered. Hope it dint get too may scratches.

Congratulations John, enjoy your retirement!

Congratulations on your retirement, John.  It's @6pm here in Wichita and only had some sleet and freezing rain earlier today.  Roads aren't bad yet and they say only 3-6" of the white stuff by tomorrow night.  It's not supposed to start snowing until midnight.  Wind is really howling, so be careful.  If you need to stop for the night here in Wichita, give me a call... Larry Dukes in the phone book.  Hope you have a safe trip to Az.

I'm up in Hays, KS tonight.  Dry roads and no snow seen yet.  I'll turn south just before Denver and hit Santa Fe, NM Monday night.   No paint damage on the bike. The "wrap" peeled off up to the windshield today....almost naked.

Hey John, I'll be back in Phoenix in...well, not quite sure, probably a couple of weeks.  We'll have to get together for a ride and dinner when I get back.

  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!

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!
