tour reports » What are your tour plans 2022

Hi all,
In these dark foggy cold winter days (UK) I’m longing for spring weather and more time on the bike. Having a tour planned gives me a focus and motivation to spur me on. As my wife can’t ride pillion this year due to a bad back she’s graciously agreed to me taking a holiday alone, for the first time I’m joining an organised tour to have some riding buddies. That’s a trip with Magellan MC Tours to the Spanish Picos mountains for 8 days at the beginning of May, sailing to and from Santander so no need for a long thrash through France. Really looking forward to that.
What are your plans?

April Texas Hill Country 16 day?
June BMW MOA National Rally in Springfield Missouri. We'll do a few days in Arkansas before or after the National 8 days?
July Colorado 12 days?
Aug Kentucky 10 days?
Sep Mackinac Island Michigan (bicycles) 8 days?
Oct Arkansas 7 days?

Wow. - are you retired Lee?

Both of us are retired now. Debbie retired the end of January 2021.
I might have to start a Go Fund Me site to do all the trips :)

Same as 2019 2020 2021 - zero

2018 last trip across europe, 2019 RS had full service, new boots and ready to go ended up cancelling.

We all know how many great plans have since disappeared for so many - we are all lucky to be here wishing for better times.

Will wait until May, see how europe is coping and then would love to be in Norway again, here's hoping!

My 2020 Euro trip was moved to 2021.

Then moved again to 2022. Thanks Covid.

So ferry is booked on 1st May for a meander through Germany to Luxembourg.

With a classic car race meeting at Spa along the way.

My wife gives me at least 1 pass out per year. Euro and/or UK.

And - today I planned and booked a local jaunt with my wife, on 4 wheels, for a first visit to Orkney & Shetland in June for a few days.

We shall see how the Covid is but rides in my home province are more than enough.
If all goes well another ride down to California is always enjoyed.

great thread. for me, for sure:

late April/May Tame the Tail of the Dragon (TTD) @ ~11 days along USA Appalachian mountains between VA and GA
late Sept/Oct Annual 'boys' weekend in West Virginia @ 5 days
more 1-3 day weekend trips, if I'm lucky

pondering:
~Sept Reg Pridmore's CLASS at VIR again. definitely if I score a new ride; maybe on my RS again if some friends go
Summer trip to Colorado. Retired friend planned a 3 week journey that would be tons of fun.... but I am not retired. so unlikely

Az. up through Utah, into Wyoming and the grand Tetons; then through or around Yellowstone; then east to Keystone SD; south through Cheyenne, Wy into Colorado; down through NM and west to Az again. Should be about 5K miles in 3 weeks.

Just before the end of this year, we'll hook up at my place and land 60 miles south of the US border in Mexico for X-mas.

Switching jobs has put a damper on the intended travel schedule for '22. The only "sure thing" is a trip to Barber Motorsports Park with my brother, in Sept, for some quality time at the museum and the MotoAmerica race. Looking forward to seeing MotoGP retiree, Danilo Petrucci, on the roster this year
