Ride the Blue Ridge from start to finish over a few days stopping for a great burger and a fine craft beer for lunch and a grilled steak preceded by a 15 year old Spey Side single malt in the evening, no wait,
A week in the Black Hills of my home state of SD, my bike, my wife and nothing to do but ride and the sustenance mentioned above, no wait,
Two weeks in the Rockies, my bike, my bride and the sustenance mentioned above. wait I've got it,
Win a lottery, go on permanent vacation and get on my bike and get the final 810 dealership poker chips I need to complete my set
I don't know about the ideal vacation, but, wife and I are heading out tomorrow on a two week bike trip to Vancouver Island.
We plan three days riding to get there. Motel each night, no camping. Will be in our provinces capital for Canada Day, July 1st. Gonna meet our newest grand daughter and we have a tea date with our three year old grand daughter on her birthday, July 3rd.
I guess this is an ideal vacation now that I think of it.
One of our best trips was a trip around Lake Superior that we did twice. The worse thing is sitting on that stupid bridge between Canada and the US by Sault Ste. Marie. Sat the last time for 1 1/2 hours.
I would just like to load the bike and take off for 2 weeks no plans no route just ride west for one week then turn around and head back east the second week.
Ironman ? Is that a CHEVELLE in your picture ??? MY favorites are Daytona for Bike week and Sturgis. Other then that just getting out of the valley during MONSOON . IS it still considered a vacation if your retired. Cause I'm on vacation everyday ....Rick

Yep it was my old 71 454 Chevelle. Just let it go a few weeks ago and got my Softail bagger. My ideal vacation would be loading up and headin to the mountains to ride the dragon again with the wife for a few days. Since we don't have time to get a backrest and luggage for a long trip that will have to wait til next July. So this year we'll camp by the lake and drink beer.
A week at the Alta Lake Golf Resort (north of Wenatchee, WA) with 10 other couples, a trip to Pendleton Bike Rally (central OR), a few rides over to the ocean, a possible ride down the Pacific Coast HWY to the Bay Area to visit my cousins, and lots of local riding.
We're headed out on the 7th to Fredericksburg to ride the sisters but my ideal vacation is still to take rt66 out of Amarillo then new Mexico and Arizona and then the grand canyon and on to Vegas.
We just did weekend riding the Susquehanna an Lancaster area of pa. Great time logged about 450 miles. Hard to find people around here that can just take off. Others are very weather sensitive.
Depart 7/22 across Canada to Flint turn right up to Canadian border turn left to St marys, MO. Road going to the Sun. Back around thru Sturgis, Rapid city, Milwaukee, Museum, then ferry across lake slither, down thru Toledo, Cleveland (hope to stop at Slymans) then home. 12-15 days. 5000 miles.
My vacation officially starts July 4th. Just two more days of work. Can't wait to wake up without an alarm clock. We're gonna go to Elgin on the 6th to meet up with a friend and head out to Fredericksburg either that afternoon or the next morning. No definite plans. Just gonna ride and explore.
The best vacation I ever had was in 2008 when my sister, her boyfriend, and I all rode our bikes from SoCal to Mich and back. It was a rare time when we could take a month off of work and we were gone the entire time. Camping with a motorcycle was the best! I'm not one for "roughin' it", but I really enjoyed KOA across the US. When I retire I hope I am able to do a lot more of that.
We have a great country best seen from the saddle.
