Not sure if you had planned it or not, but in west TX there is the Big Bend National Park. I use to go camping there with my parents, and my first memory of knee sliding was my father hitting the twisties on his 95 ZX6. He had face pain from too much smiling. Highly recommend it.

A really nice place to stay that is pretty close, by TX standards (125miles), is the Balmorhea State Park. The hotel there is just amazing.

Hope to see you in VA if you are going close to Norfolk/Virginia Beach.

billybobjoeiv · April 20th, 2010, 09:02 PM

Hey dude. just checked out the forum. amazing trip you planned!! i must say i am more than jealous! I noticed though that you are going into miami and then north without hitting the keys. I did a trip around florida from daytona and went into key west and it was definitely a memorable ride. try to ride a little into the keys if you want/can. it'd be fun!
Id ride with you from daytona to the north but ill be movin just before you get here unfortunately.
Anyway. Have a good rest of the trip! be safe!

billybobjoeiv · April 20th, 2010, 09:05 PM

P.S.
Looks like you are taking 75 from naples to miami. cant quite tell though. if you are, try hittin up Rt. 41 instead a little to the south. fun ride through the everglades and past some small native american posts.

Hey Josh, thanks for the tip and links. Looks definitely worth a detour. Let me think it over.

Hey Nathan, although the general route has been set, the local details are flexible. Can't see why I can't do it.

But I'm already sweating thinking about ATGATT in the humid June Floridian heat.

BlueTyke · April 21st, 2010, 06:06 PM

When you make it to MD... I wouldn't mind going for a ride. I suppose it depends on the day.. I am a workin gal... Just so you know some of the best places to hit are along the Patomic.

Hey Sunny, I'm sure I could find a weekend for a ride. Should be in July some time, except the July 17-18 weekend.

I'm sure you noticed I rode with another "blue tyke" to Big Sur.

BlueRaven · May 10th, 2010, 06:09 PM

Any updates Anthony? Hopefully all is going well.

Hey Blue Raven,

The tour is going fine, now in Arizona. Here are a few recent pics:

On Hollywood Blvd

Leading a parade

Nicknamed Blue Ninja

After some local canyon carving - not as much fun with a passenger on board

It can be fun, it just depends on the passenger.

BlueRaven · May 11th, 2010, 06:53 PM

What is that poster on your windscreen?

Snake · May 23rd, 2010, 06:11 AM

I have not seen an update lately. How close are you from getting to Louisiana? Hopefuly I will be on my off days when you pass through.

I'll actually be in New Orleans tomorrow. Unfortunately, I won't have my bike with me, but am driving my car for a while, since the driver of my car has gone to Florida. I'm on a book tour, with too much to carry for a bike.

Do you know anyone with a bike I could borrow for a ride? I still have my gear in the car. Just a shot in the dark. But car or bike, I'll be going to Venice to check out the oil spill situation.

Snake · May 24th, 2010, 05:12 AM

I personaly don't know anyone in N.O. with a bike but we have two members near N.O. that may be able to help you.

CC Cowboy · May 24th, 2010, 08:30 AM

Anthony, you're in Nawlins, forget about riding and just eat.

LazinCajun · May 25th, 2010, 07:03 AM

And drink :P

Momaru · June 18th, 2010, 08:16 PM

Anthony, looks like you'll be by Blacksburg, VA sometime next weekend, probably just before heading to WV. If you're planning a stop in the area, (even if it's Roanoke) shoot me a PM, maybe we can link up for a bit or a bite.

noche_caliente · June 19th, 2010, 10:28 AM

And don't forget me! I'm still preggers, so no riding, but I'd love to meet you!

KimR · July 31st, 2010, 04:38 PM

Anthony, I'm new to Ninjette.org and therefore to this ride report. But if you haven't gotten to Columbus, Ohio yet, PM me and we can ride together. Fantastic trip! By the way, you may want to consider posting this ride report at Advrider.com. This certainly qualifies as an adventure.

rwheelz · September 28th, 2010, 01:59 PM

Hmmm no posts in this thread for a while. Hit me up before you hit WY/MT and I will take you on a little tour

. I also have a bike for you to ride, if you are traveling by car!
