I am an ordinary guy who enjoys riding motorcycles. I love riding all makes and models. I love short rides, long rides, and multi-day road trips. I lead an annual summer tour in various parts of the USA. I post reviews about motorcycle gear, motorcycles, roads, restaurants, sights, gadgets and more. Check out the "Motorcycle Facts,Trivia and History" page, the "Oz on Pods" page and the other pages for other useful and fun information. Ride carefully and Prayerfully, Oz.

Trips.

A friend and I recently rode our motorcycles up to Des Moines, Iowa and we camped on the way up.  My son competed in the National Junior Forensic League tournament in Des Moines.  This was my first long trip on my new motorcycle, Yamaha Venture.
 

We will be camped in Petit Jean State Park and Mount Magazine State Park in Arkansas, Lake of the Ozarks State Park and Stockton State Park in Missouri, and staying in a motel while in Des Moines.  On Saturday June 26th we visited J and P Cycles in Anamosa, Iowa.  They were host their "Open House" that Saturday and Sunday.  We picked up some good deals!

On July 10th my son and I along with 7 others will depart on our trip to Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming.  We have not been there or ridden a great deal in Wyoming.  It will be a 14 day trip with lots of great roads and places.

We are trailering through Texas and New Mexico to Pueblo, Colorado.  From there we will be riding the rest of the time.  We are spending 5 nights in West Yellowstone before heading back.  We have plans for a rafting trip, a visit to a gold mine, some hiking, and visits to some museums. 
Ride carefully and prayerfully!

    Wow! Sounds like a fun trip - your new bike is a beauty. Shoot! Wish I had seen your post earlier - we might have been able to ride out and escort you through our neck of the woods... looking forward to your posts about the trip. Ride safe. Ride free. -V-

    I am ending day 4 of the trip and it has been great. It would have been great having a tour guide, maybe next time.
